Sterling GMC underwent a renovation to their showroom. They were not only looking for a modern design, but also furniture that met the mandatory specifications GMC has placed on the dealership. The owner is a long standing customer who's relationship was established years ago as an office supply customer. He arranged a meeting with us and the architect. The architect provided the initial CAD drawings and we discussed what their furniture needs were. After that meeting, we took all the information we had and came up with the revised CAD layout, 2D, and 3D options.
At this part of the process, experience is important. Because we have seen product in the field and the environments in which they function, we know the construction and durability of the furniture, we know what the logical solutions are that only come with years of experience. Through this we can make valuable suggestions that can save customers not only money, but also "headache" in the long run.
This project is classified as medium in size and took approximately 6 months from concept to completion. The time of a project can vary on the different variables, but we always aim to accommodate the time frame our customer sets. Depending on the complexity of a project, the project time can range between 2 weeks - 1 year.
The final solution we offered consisted of freestanding panel systems (Allsteel -Cadence), task seating (Hon Ignition), Lounge Seating (GLOBAL- ORION), Breakroom Tables ( HON HOSPITALITY) and Chair (HON STACK), and conference room table (HON PRESIDE) and chairs (HON IGNITION).
Once the architect establishes a timeline for building completion we can order the furniture and receive it in time for the install date. If we need to store it short term, we have facilities to accommodate these circumstances and at zero cost to our customer. In this case, because this is a showroom, we had a small installation window. We arrived on site at 4am and completed the project at 10am.
Before we order the product our furniture experts go on site to measure all area's to verify the dimensions are accurate. Many times the dimensions vary slightly because when the contractor is putting up walls, support poles, doors he may need to make adjustments for structural reasons. Consequently, this will alter the room size by inches and sometimes more. When it comes to furniture installation ever inch counts! We quickly adapt to these changes and apply alterations to our plan to accommodate these modifications. We work quickly so our Order / Installation timeline is not effected.
Overall the project and installation went smoothly and our customer was happy. What more can you ask for? :-)
