Furniture
It is Burkett’s goal to provide our clients with exceptional service and products at competitive pricing that will allow you to focus on aspects of your business other than buying office furniture. Our Experienced staff of professional will strive to provide your firm with solutions that will increase productivity in your office; therefore, adding to your firm’s bottom line.
We achieve this by working with your staff on a design layout that encompasses everything from where the common machines are to be located, such as fax machines and copiers, to privacy requirements for job applications such as payroll. We will work with you to choose fabrics, colors and other design options. All of this can be performed at your facility! Burkett’s will bring to the initial meeting a laptop computer with the latest software to get a general layout confirmed. Then, we’ll go back to our office and finalize all of the details.
Orders are placed with most manufacturers electronically to avoid the potential for human error. Large orders are generally shipped direct to the job site, where installers will meet the truck. This avoids additional handling, saving time, money, and reducing the possiblity for damage to the product.
Since Burkett’s only works with proven manufacturers, you have the assurance of being able to obtain matching furniture that is reliable, cost effective and beautiful, both now and in the future. We believe that it should be a pleasure to come to work in a place that is efficient, attractive, and comfortable. Burkett’s works hard for our clients so that we can be a beneficial business partner now and for years to come. We want to make things easy for you.
Consultation
The “Pre-Design” stage is the time to gather information. We will meet with you to discuss goals and gather requirements to assess individual furniture needs, traffic patterns, machine locations and more. We’ll visit your jobsite, or, if it’s under construction, study the completed architectural drawings. If the project focuses on reusing existing furniture, we’ll do an inventory, and then generate a plan that accomplishes the stated goals.
Space Planning and Design
Information gathered in the consultation phase is incorporated to design a typical cubical using a CAD program. Such cubicles will be designed with ergonomics in mind. Drawings will be provided to the client in 2-D and 3-D formats and presented for review and approval. Our Design Team will work with you in the selection of colors and finishes that coordinates with the building’s interior. In most, cases we will also do a site visit for field verifications.
Project Management
The Project Manager will work out all the final details. It's about planning and process. Working side by side with client, the Project Manager coordinates the efforts of everyone involved, including the electrician and phone/data cable installers. We follow a detailed checklist, customized to each project. After completion, we will walk the project and if necessary, prepare a punch list of items needing resolution.
Installation
Prior to installation, the installers will review all on-site project specifics. They will locate staging areas, take care of necessary building protection, and establish the route from the parking lot. When the installation is completed, the crew ensures everything is clean, complete and fine-tuned to the customers’ satisfaction. The lead installer walks the site to double-check for any last minute issues or adjustments needed. Any furniture damages and/or defects are immediately rectified.
Reconfiguration
As your business grows, your needs will change. You’ll add more staff, traffic patterns will change, the machines need to be relocated, office noise becomes more prevalent. The list never ends. Getting more people into the same space is often a challenge. Whatever your changes are, our Design Team will work with your existing furniture to create a new efficient floor plan and our installation crew will get the job completed with little or no down time for your employees.
Relocation
The first thing to do is an asset evaluation to see which is better fit for your company; move your existing or buy all new. No matter what you decide, there is a unique set of challenges to make the transition as smooth as possible without interrupting the flow of business. We’ll manage the whole process from start to finish.
Warranty Service
Every manufacturer has their own warranty policies. In almost all cases, only parts are covered, labor is not. We will determine what parts need to be ordered and for the first 12 months after your purchase, provide the labor to replace them.
