Giving back to the community is one of Rightsize Facility’s core values as an organization, and this was on full display this week as we joined forces with UPS to help build a home for the 2018 DuPage Habitat for Humanity Spring Women Build.
One of our favorite parts of being in the office furniture industry is working with our customers long-term as their organizations evolve and change. This has included start-ups that went from just a couple desks and chairs to full-fledged corporate headquarters with rows of workstations, as well as companies refreshing their offices to better reflect their brand.
Professionals in the insurance industry know how worthwhile it is to plan for and invest in the future. When a home and auto insurance company decided it wanted to update its office in Ann Arbor, Michigan, its team reached out to Rightsize Facility to PLAN and FURNISH the space. The goal was to select high-quality, long-lasting furniture that will meet the company’s needs for many years to come.
In honor of Earth Week, a global environmental awareness campaign leading up to Earth Day on April 22, we are highlighting Rightsize Facility’s ongoing commitment to sustainability. “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” isn’t just a clever slogan for us. It’s part of our DNA, and we incorporate it into all of our services and business practices.
Whether our clients are renovating, refurnishing, or relocating, we employ our green methodology to the project. Here are some of the ways Rightsize helps clients minimize their environmental impact.
Facility Decommissioning
Through our eco-friendly facility decommissioning program, we attempt to keep as much waste out of landfills as possible. It’s often a mad dash to return a space to its original, broom swept condition, but we have a thorough, streamlined decommissioning process that meets the precise recycling guidelines set by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.
Asset Disposition
We’re proud that less than 5% of all FF&E assets (movable furniture, fixtures, and other equipment) we decommission end up in a landfill. Rightsize’s team extends the life cycle of these assets in the following ways:
When a Chicago staffing firm needed to open a new office location in the West Loop and had less than a month to get it move-in ready, who did they turn to? Rightsize.
Startups have a reputation for trying to outdo each other with the stylish design and amenities of their offices. But while it’s fun to compete for the hippest industrial space, the coolest game room, or the most impressive communal area, it’s important for decision makers at startups to be intentional about allocating money and resources.
Rightsize Facility is made up of creative problem solvers, logistical pros and visual superstars. We specialize in putting together, taking apart and reconfiguring complex 3D puzzles for our clients every day. Our staff has an attitude that no challenge is insurmountable – with the right tools and a little ingenuity.
2018 is in full swing, and forward-thinking companies are paying attention to the most popular office design trends. Here are a few to keep an eye on as the new year progresses.
