Nice, but a super-hefty price tag. I've had something similar costed out by a local recording studio building company, they came in at $1250 per booth, with full sound insulation.
You also have to be careful with structures like this, that you're not violating any fire codes. The options are either to leave the roof off, which kinda defeats the purpose, or to run a sprinkler head into each and every booth - average cost for that tends to be around $350 a head if you can run from a nearby line. Fire inspectors just loooove these kinds of things.

Hi @andreasduess, if you've found recording booths at priced at $1250 please share as this is well below market rate for even the most basic booths. A recording booth with comparable to these would cost $5800+ [1]. Of course, recording booths typically look like black boxes don't have the functionality, accessibility or aesthetics desired in offices.
Sprinklers are not required in structures that are under 4x4ft in the US (NFPA), and various state fire codes (including New York, California) [2]. Our booths are under 4ft x 4ft and we haven't heard of customers having issues with fire inspectors. If in doubt, you should check with local inspectors.

@sam_johnson2 Good to know about these codes - we just had a number of booths built (similar size) and had to run sprinklers into each. Fire codes vary wildly, so it's a good idea to get them checked.
The booths we had costed are simpler in appearance than yours, but still very nice, built from furniture grade ply on a 2x2 internal frame, with dual power, LED lights and a fan install.
