Get Your Dimensions:
To conduct a successful office makeover project you'll need a detailed plan of attack. That plan cannot be professionally formulated without accurate interior dimensions. To obtain the dimensions of your space, you'll need a tape measurer, scale ruler, and paper. When measuring your space, take note of the entry ways, windows, and power outlets that will all play rolls in your layout. Once you've taken dimensions, enlist a trusted helper to check them for accuracy. Don't rely on old blue prints and estimations. Completing this step correctly is an absolute must!

Create A Timeline:
Don't allow yourself to turn a simple 2 week project into a 6 month nightmare. Setting a timeline for your project will help keep you on track. On average, in-stock office furniture will ship from the factory within 2 business days. Transit times will vary based on where products ship from. That being said, it's important to contact manufacturers and dealers directly before making a purchase. If you choose to go with custom products that are made to order, the timeline for your project will certainly need to be extended. Made to order desks and chairs take approximately 3 to 4 weeks to manufacture. Be sure to plan accordingly!

Space Prep & Installation:
Once you've purchased new furniture and accessories of your space, it's time to start prepping! Contact your dealer about 2 days after you've placed your order to inquire about tracking information. With tracking info, you'll know exactly when your furniture is set to arrive. About 3 days before products show up on your door step, remove old furniture. With furniture removed, clean your space thoroughly.
*If you're planning to apply a fresh coat of paint to make your new furniture pop, nows the time to do it! Bright green, light blue, and gray paint finish options have been incredibly popular in 2016 for modern remodels.
With a fully prepped interior, create a staging area for your furniture to be placed when it arrives. Don't just overload your interior with boxes. It will make the installation process a headache! Instead, bring items in one at a time to be assembled individually. You'll have the project knocked out in no time at all.
With your new furniture fully assembled and installed, you'll be left with plenty of debris that's in need of disposal. Break down boxes, collect bubble wrap, and vacuum your floors. Take a moment to wipe down your new furniture and office seating with a surface friendly cleaner. Once complete, take pics and show off your hard work! Send your dealer pics and ask about additional ways to improve your interior. They'll be more than happy to help.
