[Decision guide]
What this article will help you decide
project manager, office manager, purchasing and designer
turn an office task into a verifiable layout and comparable specification
do not choose furniture only by the image or price: check the dimensions, function, availability, installation, warranty and the possibility of re-ordering
What needs to be determined before requesting a quote?
The series is faster to scale and service, and a custom product more accurately fills non-standard geometry.
The solution begins with input data and measurable requirements for mass-produced and custom furniture.
- plan and use cases
- quantity, deadline and budget guideline
- documents, logistics and service
How to make a decision and compare options?
Compare deadline, accuracy, repair, reorder, sample and risk of difference in the next batch.
Compare options based on the same composition: product, configuration, documents, logistics, installation and service. Record any exception or analogue on a separate line so that the final price does not hide the differences.
What should be included in the specification and contract?
Compare deadline, accuracy, repair, reorder, sample and risk of difference in the next batch.
- exact articles, sizes, materials and quantities;
- confirmed deadline and schedule dependencies;
- composition of delivery, lifting, assembly and acceptance;
- guarantee of a specific series and the procedure for eliminating comments.
What mistakes to avoid?
The mistake is to make all the furniture custom for the sake of a few difficult areas.
Do not take an advertising promise as a condition of a contract. If the outcome is dependent on availability, site readiness, sample approval, or a third-party contractor, this dependency should be visible in the schedule.
How does the PoMo Union Office address this challenge?
PoMo checks the task on the plan, selects series, samples and generates specifications for serial and custom-made furniture.
To calculate, send the floor plan, number of employees, city, desired launch date and project limitations. The team will match the problem with catalog, will prepare a plan and line-by-line specification without unconfirmed prices and deadlines.
Which series should I look at in the catalogue?
Below are starting points for comparison. Final compatibility, finishes, quantity and timing must be confirmed according to specification:

Frequently asked questions
Is it possible to combine both approaches?
Yes. Off-the-shelf workstations and custom accent or built-in pieces often provide the best balance.
What data is needed for preliminary calculation?
Floor plan, number of employees, city, deadline, budget guideline and requirements for serial and custom-made furniture.
Is it possible to compare several options?
Yes. PoMo can prepare comparable scenarios with the same scope of work and clearly stated differences.
Do these recommendations replace a commercial proposal?
No. The final conditions are fixed only after checking the configuration, availability, logistics and facility.
A low-commitment first step
Get preliminary specification
Send the floor plan, number of employees, city, launch date, budget guideline and zone requirements. During working hours, the team will clarify the missing data and prepare a preliminary specification and a clear next step for the project.
