Systems and methods provide improved physical space planning and development. One or more network devices obtain a business profile of a workgroup using an activity-based workspace and determine space requirements for the business profile. The network devices store component parameters for design components that can potentially be deployed to the activity-based workspace and solicit, via a graphical user interface, a workspace layout for the activity-based workspace. The soliciting includes providing a list of the design components that can be selectively placed within the workspace layout. The network devices receive, via the graphical user interface, design components within the workspace layout to create a proposed design; generate an interactive three-dimensional rendering of the proposed design; validate project timeline for the activity-based workspace, based on the proposed design and the stored parameters for the design components in the proposed design; and verify the proposed design against the space requirements.

A 3D shelf talker in the form of a planar substrate has a profile and scored fold lines defining three advertising panels for displaying text and/or graphics identified with a product, and at least one fastener panel integral with one of the advertising panels and adherable to another of the panels for stabilizing the shelf talker once erected into a hollow rectangular parallelepiped. The fastener panel may be provided with a connector for mounting the shelf talker on a shelf fixture in an aisle of a store where one of the advertising panels is visible for indicating the location of the product to a customer along either end of the aisle or directly opposite the product.

A template has a base formed with a hole and a cylinder aligned with the hole and detachably connected to the base. Prior to applying cement and tile, the base is located over an enlarged hole in the counter with the cylinder projecting up. The cylinder maintains a clear hole through the cement and tile through which a faucet fits. If necessary, the cylinder may be detached from the base and removed. A single template may accommodate three cylinders for two faucets plus the spout of a water mixer. Further, a large template may fit into the space of a removed section of the counter and have a large hole for a basin plus one or more cylinders.
