Hi Maureen, We were able to find about 11 DIRTT offices second-hand at $2K/office. After reconfiguring, we were left with lots of wall sections and insufficient parts to make more offices, but we got 10 offices out of them! They’re really quite nice looking and I was surprised by their sound absorption.
They took a lot longer than a weekend to install, but we’re still happy with the result.
