A Cautionary Tale:

What can go wrong?  

What happens when you hire the wrong office setup and installation team?

Meet Sarah. Sarah owned a budding digital marketing agency that had recently gained national acclaim after a particularly effective marketing campaign for a major sports brand. In response to the surge of new clients drawn by her agency’s success, Sarah hired several new designers and additional support staff. As a result, they quickly outgrew their meager office and, with great enthusiasm, decided an office upgrade was needed.

Sarah and her team were excited about the move but slightly overwhelmed by the mounting costs of acquiring this new, much nicer office space. She decided to try to save some money by hiring a budget office setup and furniture installation team to prepare her workspace. She’d found them online, and although their reviews were not great and they hadn’t been in business very long, their price was much lower than some others she’d considered. “What could go wrong?” she thought. “After all, this is just a simple move and office set-up.”

“What could go wrong?” she thought. “After all, this is just a simple move and office set-up.”

She met with the lead installer, and at first, everything seemed fine. The guy smiled a lot. Looked over the blueprints she provided. Nodded his head in agreement with all that she said and ensured her he could have everything done quickly and within her limited budget.

But once Sarah signed the necessary agreements, the problems began. It started with a phone call. Or an unanswered phone call, to be more specific. Her staff had boxed up their possessions, and the install team was scheduled to arrive…but they didn’t. They didn’t call to let Sarah know they were running late. They did not answer her call, which simply went to a recorded message stating someone would get back to her. Almost two hours passed before the low-budget team showed up with moving trucks. Apparently, there had been a problem with their main truck, and they’d had to pull the one they brought off another job.

Sarah wasn’t happy with the delay, but she let it slide. It was not like she had a choice at this point; her entire office was in boxes, and her team was on standby.

The next set of problems showed up when the low-budget team started setting up the office. Instead of carefully measuring the space and planning the layout according to the blueprints she had provided, they hastily arranged the furniture, cramming desks and chairs into awkward positions. They didn’t bother to level the desks properly resulting in wobbly workstations that were uncomfortable to use.

They rushed through the assembly of shelves and cabinets, leading to crooked and loose-fitting construction. Sarah noticed that some pieces were missing screws, and when she pointed it out, the team assured her they would fix it later.

Despite their assurances, the problems continued to mount. The team underestimated the time and effort required to complete the job, causing delays and disruptions to Sarah’s business operations. They failed to finish within the agreed-upon timeframe. This forced Sarah to postpone bringing her team back and delayed meetings and client presentations.

Worse still, Sarah’s budget for the office setup ballooned out of control as the inexperienced team encountered unforeseen problems and additional expenses they explained were unavoidable. She spent more money than she had initially planned, not to mention the cost of having her office down the extra days.

As Sarah struggled to deal with the aftermath of the botched office setup, she realized the true cost of choosing the cheapest option. The lack of attention to detail, cutting corners, and inability to complete the job on time and within budget had created a cascade of problems that would have never occurred had she done her research and found a professional install team that would get the job done right the first time.

Choose the Right Installation Professionals and Avoid Installation Nightmares

Choosing the right installation professionals means your office setup is completed on time, according to your specifications, and within your budget.

The office layout and design you developed with your architect and interior design team took meticulous planning and effort. The installation phase is where your vision for your workspace comes to life. At this critical time, choosing the wrong installation team can lead to a host of challenges and setbacks that can wreak havoc on your entire team’s productivity and cause costly, unnecessary delays.

How do you know if the installation team you’re considering can handle the job?

You need to make sure that the team you choose has the expertise and experience to handle the complexities of your installation process.
An inexperienced team makes mistakes. This means problems with everything from cubicle assembly to furniture layout and subpar
craftsmanship. The result–you have a compromised workspace that does not have the aesthetic appeal you want or the functionality you
need. Your time spent with your design team was wasted, and no one is happy with the end result.

You need to ensure the team you choose values coordination and communication. Otherwise, installation and set-up can lead to logistical nightmares and scheduling conflicts, which cause needless delays and cost you time and money.

You need a team that is effective with project management and oversight. Otherwise, you risk having your installation and set-up delayed or, worse, incomplete. This causes even more disruptions by delaying subsequent teams, such as electricians or IT specialists, waiting for the installers to finish their job before they can begin. Again, this delays the entire office set-up project, slows business operations, and costs even more money.

And what’s worse… Choosing the wrong installation team can pose risks to workplace safety and compliance.

Improper handling of heavy equipment, failure to properly assemble furniture and office structures, or failure to adhere to safety protocols can cause workers or occupants to suffer needless accidents or injuries.

The consequences of choosing the wrong installation professionals are TOO great.

You need an installation team with experience, proven track records, and a commitment to quality and safety standards. You need a team of installation professionals who will ensure that your project is completed to your exact standards, according to your design, on time, and within budget.

You need an installation team you can partner with to bring your workspace design to life. An installation team that will meet your needs and exceed your expectations, communicate efficiently, perform effectively, and complete your office setup, move, or decommission while making the entire process feel seamless and easy.

In short, you need Workplace Network Solutions (WIN).
