      "text": "List every device you plan to operate, including monitors, desktop towers, printers, shredders, and task lighting. Measure your furniture clearances and establish exact placement for monitors relative to windows to avoid glare. Having your equipment dimensions finalized ensures your electrical drops are placed behind furniture rather than across walking paths.",

      "text": "Draft your room layout to confirm desk swing space, storage access, and door swings. If your project involves moving partition walls, framing closets, or altering HVAC runs, confirm local municipal permit requirements before swinging a hammer. Done looks like having an approved plan and necessary permits secured before demolition starts.",

      "text": "Open relevant wall sections to run dedicated 20-amp circuits, in-wall HDMI or ethernet conduits, and recessed ceiling lighting boxes. Add extra wall blocking where heavy floating shelves or monitor arms will mount. This phase is finished once all rough wiring and structural framing pass required municipal inspections.",

Apply compound, sand smooth, and prime the walls and ceiling for a uniform surface finish. Complete this step by inspecting walls under work lights to ensure no joint imperfections show through.",
