A Sales-Based Company Balances Open & Private Spaces

Project date:

Manufacturing

Budget:

$58,000

In early 2016, the Midwest branch of a large national manufacturing company moved from a shared co-working space into its own office.

Rightsize provided space planning and developed a cost-effective BLENDED SOLUTION for furniture selection and procurement. The client wanted an open, contemporary look for the office, but with adequate privacy for staff. Since it is a primarily sales-based company, with many employees on the phone most of the day, noise cancelation was an important consideration.

Rightsize created a solution for the sales team with refurbished task chairs and Herman Miller Ethospace workstations, featuring interchangeable tiles and seated privacy to help with noise control. For senior level management, private offices offered a blend of new, refurbished and pre-owned furniture.

Using manufacturers including Mayline, Encore and Global, Rightsize planned a new conference room, a breakroom and the main reception area.

Rightsize Meant Right Value for a Leading Transportation Company

A leading transportation management company contacted Rightsize Facility Performance to purchase a few odds and ends for their pending office relocation for more than 200 employees. Upon discussion with Rightsize’s workplace integrator specialist, they realized that Rightsize’s total turnkey solutions could help them with their transition – from decommissioning the old office to designing the new space, and much more.

Upon review of Rightsize’s full range of solutions and support, the company realized the value of collaborating with one point of contact to assist in the various aspects of the move. The client’s selected solution reflected their vision, growth plan, tight time frame, and phased relocation/installation.

There are many hidden factors to take into consideration when planning and budgeting for an office decommission, relocation and new space design. Rightsize delivered a value proposition to the transportation management company that made sense aesthetically, functionally, and financially.

Headquarters Revitalized for Chicago Association

 

Rightsize competitively bid against other accredited office furniture providers for the opportunity to expand a consumer and business advocacy association’s Chicago headquarters. Rave reviews from other accredited businesses and Rightsize’s value proposition appealed to the association. 

After evaluating the association’s current environment, Rightsize recommended furniture assets that complemented the aesthetics of the space and maximized work flow. All existing furnishings were replaced with re-manufactured green product: (41) Herman Miller AO2 stations, Steelcase Criterion task chairs, and Steelcase private offices.

Rightsize executed a full turnkey solution, including space planning, moving services and asset disposition. The project was completed on schedule and below budget, and the association staff couldn’t be more complementary.
