Specialist in office furniture advice

3 tips for choosing your office furniture specialist

Office space design may seem simple, but often, companies find the task to be quite complex. Taking precise measures, optimizing the space needed by each worker without compromising on ergonomics, planning enough storage space and deciding on the best locations for power outlets… There are so many factors to consider! And mistakes can be expensive.

That’s why Ugoburo’s customers are happy to rely on expert services from our office furniture specialists. Entrusting them with your office design project means having access to specialized knowledge and avoiding numerous pitfalls. All at no additional cost!

In office space design, the possibilities are endless

Designing your office space can be a real challenge, because there are so many furniture choices out there. When you start looking at the collections of global manufacturers—located in Canada, the US, Europe and Asia—you quickly find yourself with thousands of options for furniture and other items. And since everything is available in multiple finishes and colours, that means millions, or even billions, of possible combinations!

To help you find your way through all these possibilities, Ugoburo trains skilled and efficient specialists. Their in-depth knowledge, often acquired over many years, will help you make the best decisions for your business.

So, how do you choose an office furnishing specialist?

Here’s what you want: commercial-quality office furniture with outstanding ergonomic characteristics, and a project that’s delivered on time and on budget.

Here’s how you get it: when you’re choosing an office furniture specialist, look for competence and reliability above all.

To make the best possible choice, follow these three tips:

Tip #1: Look for a specialist with good communication skills

From the very first contact, a skilled consultant knows how to listen. He should also answer your questions clearly. These qualities let you know that he’ll be effective in communicating all the relevant information to make your project a success.

Effective communication with your specialist will save you a lot of time and prevent misunderstandings between everyone involved: the furniture manufacturer, the installers, your staff. You can also be sure your specialist will communicate seamlessly with any other providers during your office design project, for example your architect or the contractors doing your renovations, as the case may be.

Ugoburo’s experts are not only skilled communicators, they also excel at project management. They demonstrate this daily by offering our clients constant availability, efficient execution and the highest level of professional service. Regardless of where in Canada your business is located, your office design specialist will quickly become your single point of contact for everything furniture-related.

Go with a specialist who can get all your office furniture at the best price

When furnishing your office space, you will no doubt consider the option of buying furniture from multiple retailers. However, we advise you to choose just one supplier. Better yet, ask your office furniture specialist to purchase from the collections of a single manufacturer to maximize your savings.

It’s important to know that office furniture manufacturers fall into two distinct groups: specialized manufacturers and integrated manufacturers.

• Specialized manufacturers make only one type of furniture: office chairs, for example.
• Integrated manufacturers make every category of office furniture: chairs, desks, modular panels, accessories, etc.

Ugoburo gives you access to the products of world-class Canadian integrated manufacturers that offer very comprehensive collections. Once you’ve explained your needs and preferences to your specialist, he’ll be able to focus his search on the manufacturer that best matches your taste and can provide you with all the office furniture you need.

This approach has three main advantages: your furniture purchase will be easier, the result will be more cohesive and, especially, you’ll increase your consultant’s negotiating power.

Ugoburo’s purchasing volume already ensures you’ll secure competitive prices. And when we order all your furniture from one supplier, we can often offer you an additional discount. The more furniture you need, the better prices you’ll get!

Tip #3: Choose a specialist offering a range of free services
