Design and Planning for Impact
Strategically planning the design of your space can significantly impact your organization’s ability to fulfill its mission. Well-designed spaces not only enhance productivity and collaboration but also reflect your organization’s values and create a positive impression on clients, donors, and volunteers.
What We Do for Non-Profit Organizations
The Business Interiors’ Client Advisor leads the BI Design and Client Services Teams and provides the client with contract furnishings experience throughout the project.
Our Design Team supports project needs with attentive application of products, development of project drawings and renderings, full product specifications, and project pricing conditions as required by the Owner | Architect.
BI’s Client Services Team coordinates all actions to fulfill the project requirements as presented by the Client Advisor and Design Teams. The Client Services Team is responsible for preparing final quotations, product procurement, installation scheduling, installation documentation, and clearing punch list items.
The factory-certified Field Services Team is tasked with all Final Mile activities including project site survey, receiving manufacturers’ product shipments, product warehousing, multi-manufacturer product preparation for project installation load-out (single and/or multi-phased), installation scheduling, installation supervision, and project punch.
We understand how important proper delivery and installation are to your schedules, people, and work activities. You can rely on BI installers to manage the timely installation of your project with care and minimize work disruption by thoroughly pre-planning details, preparing the site, and disassembling and removing or relocating existing furniture.
Our MillerKnoll-certified installers are fully trained in industry-recognized, rigorous installation guidelines and best practices. You can feel secure that these practices are demonstrated and observed throughout the installation process.
An Overview of Our Process & Protocols
We understand the challenges non-profit organizations face and are committed to providing solutions that meet your needs. We ensure your project stays on track and within budget, from proactive supply chain management to careful project planning.
Together with our manufacturer partners, we’ve made great strides in implementing protocols to mitigate the supply chain challenges we come across.
- 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 direct 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 when possible.
- When needed to preserve the schedule, BI will advise clients to accept early shipping and storage from certain manufacturers for project-critical items to ensure timely availability for scheduled installation.
