Design and Planning for Efficiency
>Strategic design and planning are essential for optimizing government workspaces and ensuring efficient operations. By creating environments that support the delivery of essential services, government agencies can better serve their constituents and achieve their goals.
What We Do for Government Workspaces
The Business Interiors’ Client Advisor spearheads the BI Design and Client Services Teams and provides the client with contract furnishings experience throughout all project phases.
Our Design Team supports project needs with meticulous application of products, preparation of project drawings and renderings, full product specs, and project pricing estimates as required by the Owner | Architect.
BI’s Client Services Team coordinates all actions to fulfill the project requirements as put forth by the Client Advisor and Design Teams. The Team is responsible for gathering final quotations, product procurement, installation scheduling, installation documentation, and clearing punch list items.
Our factory-certified Field Services Team is responsible for all Final Mile activities including project site survey, receiving manufacturers’ product shipments, product warehousing, multi-manufacturer product prep for project installation load-out (single and/or multi-phased), installation scheduling, installation supervision, and project punch.
We understand how critical proper delivery and installation are to your schedules, people, and work activities. You can depend on BI installers to coordinate the prompt installation of your project with care and minimal work disruption by meticulously pre-planning details, preparing the site, and disassembling and removing or relocating existing furniture.
Our MillerKnoll-certified installers are fully trained in strict installation guidelines and best practices. You can be confident that these practices are demonstrated and followed throughout the installation process.
Our Process
We understand the complexities of government projects and are committed to providing solutions that meet requirements. From careful project planning to proactive supply chain management, we ensure that projects stay on track and within budget.
We and our manufacturer partners have issued protocols to mitigate potential supply chain issues.
- Through their dealer network, manufacturers have increased the use of forecasting tools to predict customer demand more accurately.
- Manufacturers are contracting with multiple suppliers for “high-use” crucial materials and parts.
- During the product selection process, BI’s Client Advisor will steer the Design Team away from product lines that have consistently experienced delays.
- BI’s Project Management Team will interact daily with manufacturers for each order to monitor progress against scheduled delivery dates.
- BI’s Project Management Team will advise and execute material “holds” to prevent “out-of-stock” delays whenever possible.
- To preserve the schedule when necessary, BI will advise clients to accept early shipping and storage from certain manufacturers for project-critical items to ensure timely availability for scheduled installation.
