Office pods in Seattle

Seattle buildings, and what they mean for delivery day

Downtown and South Lake Union towers are generally the easiest deliveries in the city: docks, booked freight elevators and building managers who schedule this sort of thing weekly. Get the slot and the paperwork in place and the rest follows.

Pioneer Square and Belltown need more care. A good deal of that stock is older converted building with small freight elevators and awkward approach streets, so we check the elevator dimensions and the practical route from the truck to the office before committing to a date.

Across the water in Bellevue, Redmond and Kirkland, most offices are newer low-rise or campus buildings with level access and proper loading areas, which is the simplest version of the job.

The genuinely local factor is the hills. Several downtown addresses sit on steep streets with restricted stopping, so the unloading point is worth agreeing in advance rather than assuming the truck can stop outside the lobby.

What we need to quote your Seattle project properly

Five things, and they take a minute to send. The full address including floor and suite. Whether there is a loading dock or the truck unloads from the street. The freight elevator's internal dimensions and weight limit, if the pod is not going on the ground floor. Your building's receiving hours and whether deliveries have to be booked. And a name and number for whoever will meet us on the day.

Send those with your enquiry and your order comes back with the real installation scope rather than an allowance that changes later. If you are not sure about the elevator, say so and we will work it out with your building management.

Installation in Seattle

Our installers are insured, and we will provide the documentation your building management asks for before anyone arrives at the dock. Where a building only allows deliveries outside business hours, we schedule around it: evenings and weekends are normal for us rather than an exception you have to negotiate.

A pod is assembled in a morning. Two people can do it with the tools supplied if you would rather handle it in house, and installation is priced as a separate line so you can see exactly what it costs either way. If your site sits outside the metro, we use vetted local contractors and the service and the standard stay the same.

Lead time

Pods are made to the configuration you approve, and the current indicative lead time is around four weeks from a confirmed order, with delivery and installation scheduled on top. Your order summary confirms the production, shipping and installation window for your address. If you have a date to hit in Seattle, tell us at the enquiry stage and we will be straight with you about whether it works rather than letting you find out late.

Every model, priced

No quote needed to see what a pod costs. Furniture and installation are separate lines so you can see what each part adds.

Prices are for the pod in the configuration you choose. Finishes, furniture and compatible extras are listed separately as you build. Delivery, destination costs and any applicable tax are confirmed on your order summary, so the total you approve is the total you pay.

What is included as standard

Every FocusPod arrives with laminated glass front and rear, layered acoustic insulation, adjustable ventilation, dimmable LED lighting with adjustable colour temperature, power and an occupancy light. Speech level reduction is laboratory tested at greater than 29 dB under ISO 23351-1, the international standard written specifically for pods. Every pod is covered by our five-year structural and electrical warranty.

There is no separate charge for the black or white exterior or for the standard interior palette. Other exterior colours use the displayed upgrade price, and a custom interior colour is priced per pod. All of it is listed separately as you build, so nothing arrives as a surprise on your order.

See it properly before you decide

Take a look inside. The film below walks through the Solo, the most compact model in the range, and the 3D configurator lets you turn any model around, change the finishes and try the furniture layouts. If you would rather be walked through it, we will do a live video walkthrough of the pod you are considering and answer questions as we go.

Start with your room

Measure the space, count the people who will use it, and build the configuration. It takes a few minutes, no payment is needed, and you will have a real number to work with. Send us the access details at the same time and your order comes back complete.
