The existence of those factors is not hard to communicate. Your manager will probably understand and sympathize, but without a measurable cost or benefit, how is she going to argue for them in a committee with other managers? Sure, we get that your private offices are going to make your team more productive, but is that $100k more productive or $1M more productive? If you can even begin to answer that question without the rest of the crowd falling asleep, you're amazing. There is always pressure to make simple, easily justifiable decisions, rather than nuanced, complex ones; unless you can find simple terms to argue in, you just brought a paintbrush to a gun fight.
