Space Planning across Uptown, Jack London Square, and the Broadway corridor and the wider East Bay. Uptown, Jack London, and the Broadway corridor. Oakland gets the companies priced out of San Francisco and the creative firms that wanted to be here anyway. Both need furniture that arrives fast.
Oakland is the value end of the Bay Area office market and is not embarrassed about it. Companies here made a deliberate trade — rent, space, and a shorter commute for much of the workforce — and the furniture decision usually follows the same logic.
Empty floors don't become offices on their own. We map traffic patterns, team adjacencies, and growth plans, then turn them into floor plans your team can move into. Drawings include furniture specs, capacity scenarios, and a 3D walk-through if you want one.
The crew is already working Uptown, Jack London Square, and the Broadway corridor, so nobody flies in to survey and sends a stranger to install. 24hr on new briefs. Open line, unfranchised, second life only. Every piece leaves tagged with RESEAT ID and lands on the 12M+ pounds we have already kept out of landfills.
Not positioning. The operational facts that decide how a project here actually runs, written down before you ask.
On the ground in Uptown, Jack London Square, the Broadway corridor, Lake Merritt, and Temescal. One crew, one project lead, 24hr on new briefs. Multi-site work across the West runs through the same coordinator rather than a relay of subcontractors.
A floor plan is a headcount argument drawn to scale. The question that decides it is not how many desks fit, it is how many people can work there without the room fighting them. Those two numbers are usually twenty percent apart, and the gap is the entire design conversation.
A lot of Oakland office is converted brick-and-timber. That means small slow freight elevators, street-level loading with a permit, and stairs that decide whether a 96-inch worksurface is coming in at all. We measure the turn before we quote the piece.
Whether the plan survives the first headcount change. Plans that only work at one number get redrawn within a year.
Oakland buys more than it sheds. The market absorbs seating, benching, and storage coming out of San Francisco and Silicon Valley exits, which is why same-week delivery from local stock is realistic here in a way it is not everywhere.
Concept set in 48 hours from a measured plan. Revised set inside two weeks, including furniture specs and a capacity scenario at both the optimistic and the realistic headcount.
Every line of scope, on the proposal. No mystery markup, no surprise charges on install day. Building access, protection, and after-hours labour are inside the number rather than added to it in week three.
Crew already in the East Bay, not dispatched to it. The person who walks the space is on the job the day it ships, which is the difference between a schedule and an estimate.
24hrLayouts that actually work for the team you have. One crew handles it end to end, not a vendor chain trading dropped balls and blaming the schedule.
One project leadBerkeley, San Francisco, and Walnut Creek run out of the same crew and the same RESEAT ID program, through one coordinator who returns calls.
West regionWe don't put a tree icon on a CO₂ stat and call it a day. The same RESEAT ID dashboard tracks impact data project by project, so it lands in the ESG report with the math intact.
We sell furniture for a living, but the way we sell it is the actual product. Six things that show up in every project, and that most dealers won't say out loud.
Every piece is inspected, warrantied, and tagged with RESEAT ID. Most dealers treat second life as a side hustle. It is the only thing we do.
We are not franchised to a manufacturer, so no catalog decides your spec and no quota decides what we recommend. If we cannot solve it second life, we say so and point you somewhere useful. The test is simple: ask a dealer what they are carrying a quota on this quarter.
Furniture as a Service for teams that do not want to own the chair forever. 12, 24, or 36-month terms, refresh built in, and the buy-out and return numbers stated on day one rather than produced at the end. It exists for the budget conversation as much as the furniture one.
Our cut goes on the invoice, not buried in markup. Network dealers keep 30%, RESEAT keeps 70%, and everyone can see the math. It is an unusual thing to publish. It is also the fastest way to end an argument about pricing.
People who already work Uptown and Jack London Square and know which buildings need a night crew and which will let you load on a Tuesday. 24hr on new briefs, and the same faces on the second project as on the first.
Space Planning runs end to end with one project lead, one crew, and one invoice. Not a moving company calling a procurement firm calling a decom vendor, each of them certain the delay belongs to somebody else.
The line-by-line, on the proposal. The 70/30 RESEAT/dealer split sits there too, not buried in markup. Including what a space planning quote leaves off when it is trying to look cheaper than it is.
One project lead. One crew. One invoice. Not a moving company calling a procurement firm calling a decom vendor. Concept turnaround 48hr, stated on the first call.
We walk the space and ask about your team, work styles, and growth plans.
We map traffic, adjacencies, and how the space is actually used today.
You get multiple layout options with furniture specs and pricing.
We iterate on your feedback until the plan fits.
The first call usually saves you a week. Ask in the brief if yours is not here. 24hr on new Oakland briefs.
Tell us about the space, the industry, and the deadline. We come back inside 48 hours with a real plan and the math on what saves the most.
