What makes FriendsOffice truly unique is that there’s a person behind every step of the workplace design process. From concept to completion, our team brings expertise, experience, and personal attention to every detail. Since we all like a little look behind the scenes, learn more about the workplace design process.

1. Designers: Experts in Creative, Functional Spaces

Our designers not only hold higher education degrees tailored to design, but they also have years—if not decades—of experience working with businesses and organizations across a wide range of industries. Not to mention, there are specific manufacturers of commercial grade office furnishings that make a difference in the longevity of any office space and our design team has relationships that set us apart from the competition. 

We know when our teams are comfortable hosting meetings that they are more successful in collaborating and overall more productive day-to-day. Our design team excels at cultivating creative and functional workspaces that not only meet aesthetic expectations but also enhance productivity and comfort. Their work is grounded in understanding each client's unique requirements, resulting in custom designs that reflect individual business goals and culture.

2. Account Managers: Understanding Your Vision and Needs

FriendsOffice Account Managers are your main point of contact throughout a project. They work between our designers and clients to ensure that every need, preference, and dream is satisfied. Not only do they fully understand the design process, but they also grasp the specific, often unique, needs of each client. From the initial consultation to the final sign-off, they ensure that no detail is overlooked and that the project stays aligned with the client's vision.

But their jobs do not stop there… our account managers review orders and installation plans to continue to verify each project’s intended success. These great communicators keep all of our teams on the same page.

3. Order Placement: Precision from Our Dedicated Purchasing Team

Once the design is finalized, our dedicated purchasing team steps in. Unlike a general procurement team, they specialize in furniture acquisition, working exclusively to secure items that match the approved floor plans and renderings. They meticulously review each and every detail needed to complete the project. Who knew there was really a job role focused on the nuts and bolts of things? 

Our furniture procurement specialists also collaborate with our project managers to coordinate delivery and installation, ensuring that every part and piece of furniture is accounted for and ready for assembly.

4. Installation: A Seasoned Team of Experts

Our installation team consists of seasoned professionals, many of whom have more than a dozen years of experience specifically installing our preferred, customer-favorite brands. They are experts in the latest and greatest workplace furnishings and accessories, and their precision and efficiency are remarkable. Whether it’s assembling sit-to-stand desks or ergonomic office chairs, they work with speed and accuracy, ensuring that the workspace looks exactly as envisioned and functions seamlessly from day one. These team members are mindful of your current workplace function and they often ask questions to make sure they know how to serve you on-site while putting your office dreams together during installation. 

This highly coordinated process, with an experienced person overseeing each phase, ensures that FriendsOffice delivers workspaces and workplaces that are as practical as they are beautiful, tailored to fit the unique needs of every client. With the right people in place every step of the way, we are confident you'll be happy with your workplace design.
