Furniture Design, Planning and Specification

Questions? Contact SCM Response Team

Overview

One Workplace has combined traditional design principles with our own unique approach to the workplace. The result is a proven, three-step process that ensures the workplace design integrates with UCSF's buildings, culture, brand and budget.

Pre-Design

This is the information gathering stage. OWP will meet with UCSF end users, consultants or design firms - to discuss UCSF goals and requirements. OWP will visit UCSF jobsite, or, if it is under construction, study the completed working drawings. Also, plans of existing conditions are created after field dimensions are verified. If existing furniture is to be reused, an inventory is made.
 

Design Development

In this phase, ideas and concepts are explored and tested. Floor plans and 3D views/renderings of actual workstations (typicals) are drawn and reviewed with you. Also, OWP can help you choose all finishes, upholsteries and materials; including some architectural finishes such as paint, wall and floor coverings; then, OWP will produce finish plans for UCSF or for the UCSF contractor.
 

Project Documentation

This is the "specifications" phase. All the products you have selected are documented, and furniture installation drawings are generated; noting the type, size and placement of every piece of furniture. An audit is included, as an extra step to ensure accuracy, code compliance and exact order quantities.
