Allstate Floors now offers a full line of contract furniture products and services to supply your business needs. From design to installation, let our 25 years of experience designing, supplying, and planning office and school environments in both commercial and government facilities work for you.

Our preferred manufacturers are GREENGUARD® Certified. GREENGUARD® Certification helps manufacturers create more value for their products through established third-party certification, credible sustainability messaging and market outreach optimization. GREENGUARD® Certification cuts through the clutter of environmental claims and self-declarations by credibly communicating a commitment to healthy buildings, customer well-being and sustainability through third-party endorsement. Manufacturers whose products achieve GREENGUARD® Certification have the privilege to use the GREENGUARD® mark, which demonstrates a leadership position in the industry.

GREENGUARD® Certified products must meet stringent requirements for chemical emissions and toxicity, such as being screened for over 10,000 different chemicals including irritants, carcinogens and reproductive toxins. Products also undergo both annual re-certification and quarterly quality monitoring tests to maintain this elite credential. The sound science and independent third-party status that back the GREENGUARD Certification programs are internationally recognized. Robust certification requirements differentiate GREENGUARD® Certified products in the marketplace.

Space Planning and Design

We combine traditional design principles with our own unique approach to the workplace. The result is a proven, four-step process that ensures the workplace design integrates with your building, culture, brand and budget.

Step 1: Pre-Design

The Pre-Design stage is the time to gather information. Our design team meets with you to discuss project goals and gather requirements. We can also meet with anyone else who may have valuable feedback to offer, whether it be your end-users, consultants, or design firms.

We visit your jobsite, or, if it’s under construction, study the completed design drawings. Plans of existing conditions are created, often with verified field dimensions. If the project focuses on reusing existing furniture, we’ll also do an inventory.

Step 2: Design Development

In the design development phase, ideas are explored and concepts tested. Drawings show you adjacencies of department, people, and support areas. You get a chance to see actual workstation designs. (We call them “typicals.”) Selections will be made and presented for all the products used on your project. The adjacency drawings are updated to reflect your final product choices. Our designers are trained to describe the design process clearly and in plain terms, so you understand exactly what you’re getting, every step of the way.

We can also help with the selection of all finishes, upholsteries, and materials. Sometimes, we’re also asked to help select some architectural finishes, such as the paint, wall and floor coverings. We can provide you with this feedback, and then create finish plans for you or your contractor.

Step 3: Project Documentation

In the project documentation phase, all the products you’ve selected are documented. We call this the “specifications.” Everything you want is now ready to be ordered. At the same time, we create furniture installation drawings noting the type, size and placement of every piece of furniture.

If your product selections involve electrical components, we recommend access points and ensure they coordinate with building systems.We also take the extra step of auditing plans and specifications. Your final specifications are accurate for the application, meet all necessary code compliance, and all order quantities are exact.

Project Management

Our Project Management Services bring common sense to workplace furniture. It's about planning and process. Working side by side with you and your account executive, the project manager plans the entire process, coordinating the efforts of everyone involved.

Our process starts with understanding the project goals and the players. We create a communication plan, make contact lists, and prepare schedules. In this "just-in-time" world, scheduling is very important. Making any trade wait - electrical, cabling, contractors, installers - increases costs and delays completion. The project manager coordinates the schedules of all trades involved with the furniture. Your on-site project manager will handle pre-installation site inspections, electrical/data access point coordination, building management coordination, furniture installation management, delivery and installation access mapping, on-site delivery and installation supervision, and field change order development and coordination.

A job packet is created, containing information on the project, furniture manufacturers, delivery, installation, and schedule. Accessible to everyone involved with the project, the project manager sees that the information is accurate, updated, and alerts the team to changes.

Throughout the furniture manufacturing process, the project manager monitors the schedules for delays or changes. When the furniture ships, packing lists are verified with the order, assuring the installation team that everything is on the way. The project manager also supervises the installation, troubleshooting any problems that might arise. Together with the client, they walk the space and if necessary, prepare a punch list of items needing resolution.

The project manager is responsible for outstanding punch list items, while preparing to close-out the job. The project manager verifies invoices and charges, reviews all billing, and forwards a project closure letter to the client.

Installation

The planning process begins with a meeting between our account executive, the furniture project manager, and the lead installer. At this meeting, the team reviews project installation drawings, and specifications. The team determines complexity, manpower requirements, product delivery, schedule and site needs. The installation date is set, and specific installers are assigned to the job.

At the time of installation, the crew reviews all on-site project specifics. They locate staging areas, take care of necessary building protection, and establish the route that trash will leave the site. Products are brought in using a pre-planned sequence that allows workers such as cable installers or electricians to complete their tasks. When the installation is completed, the crew ensures everything is clean, complete and fine-tuned to the customers’ satisfaction. The lead installer roams the site to double-check for any last minute issues or adjustments needed. Then, the team quickly gets out of the way, so you can unpack and get back to work.

Office Relocation

Planning is the most critical component of successful relocation. Our Team identifies key employees, vendors, and consultants, and includes them in the planning stage. Together, we create a detailed plan, outlining roles and responsibilities. The move plan is a living document, which is constantly updated and communicated as conditions change.

Fragile items, and critical work items, are identified at this stage such as computers, printers, phones, and office equipment. Getting these items unpacked and back on-line is critical to minimizing downtime. At this stage, the employee communications plan is developed, and potential employee issues are identified.

Several days prior to the move, employees receive customized packets. Each packet contains information about the move, new location plans, box labels, and instructions on how to pack, and what to pack. Should questions or problems arise, we include extensive "who to call" lists and make ourselves available via phone or email. Throughout the move, we're on-site, roaming the facility to answer questions.

Moves can be phased, or done after hours, overnight or on weekends. Our team is prepared to coordinate the entire event. We ensure building administrators are notified, all contents are "move-ready", and that Information Technology teams are standing by for "take-down" and "re-install".

The first day employees occupy their new home, our team of installers and technicians works on-site to take care of any desired on-the-spot adjustments, and troubleshoot any minor issues that arise.
