Just one quick comment - some people prefer not to use numbers starting 
with 1, 2 or 3 as their local extensions, as these overlap with 
auto-attendant (e.g. "press 1 for sales, 2 for accounts, 3 for support 
or dial the extension you require").  I usually start the local 
extensions with a 7.  I notice you have suggested the use of numbers 
starting with a 3.
