[Decision guide]
What this article will help you decide
procurement, finance, office manager and project manager
compare proposals of the same composition and protect the budget from missed work
do not compare the totals until the packaging, logistics, installation, warranty and replacement conditions match
What needs to be determined before requesting a quote?
First, record the composition of a typical place and the number of repetitions by department.
Different roles, techniques and modes of presence require different sets, so the average position cannot be automatically multiplied by the staff.
- number of permanent and hybrid places
- equipment and number of monitors
- seat and storage requirements
How to make a decision and compare options?
Compare the full cost of the same set and show optional options separately.
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?
Fix the composition of the kit, the price of each element, the rules for replacing an analogue and the cost of logistics.
- 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?
A common mistake is to compare an incomplete budget for basic furniture with a ready-made solution from another supplier.
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 collects standard kits by role, checks them on the plan and generates an estimate by quantity.
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
What is included in the price of one workplace?
Typically table, chair, screen, cable management and storage; delivery and installation are considered separately or explicitly included in the CP.
What data is needed for preliminary calculation?
Floor plan, number of employees, city, deadline, budget guideline and workplace requirements.
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 a like-for-like specification and estimate
Send the floor plan, number of jobs, city, launch date and budget guideline. During working hours, the team will clarify the missing data and prepare a line-by-line specification with clear assumptions and individual options.
