Retain & coordinate
Items that remain suitable for the intended use and layout. Record the condition and finishes so new furniture can be considered alongside them.
OFFICE REFURBISHMENT
A new chapter.
A considered transition.
Start with what the office already has. Identify what can stay, what needs specialist attention and what the workplace now needs to do differently.
THE FURNITURE AUDIT
Walk the office
before writing the list.
Record each room, the furniture in it and the issues reported by its users. Photographs and item references help distinguish cosmetic wear from functional problems.
Have unstable or damaged items assessed before deciding whether they can continue in service.
Keep. Review. Replace.
Use a recorded decision for each furniture group.
Assess for repair
Items with repairable wear or service issues. Ask the original supplier or a qualified specialist to assess the scope, parts and commercial terms.
Plan replacement
Items that no longer meet the room’s functional needs or are unsuitable for continued use. Define the replacement specification and removal arrangements.
PHASED DELIVERY
Keep the transition
in the plan.
Identify the teams occupying each phase, temporary working arrangements, storage areas and access windows. Confirm who moves retained furniture and who handles removal, protection and installation.
Prepare the furniture scheduleA handover worth recording.
Close each phase with a clear record of the furniture delivered and the issues still open.
Match the schedule
Verify item references, quantities, dimensions and approved finish selections.
Review the installation
Check positioning, operation, cable arrangements and any agreed installation responsibilities.
Keep the records
Retain care instructions, product information, service contacts and agreed warranty terms.
