A
person's work environment is very important. After all, we spend nearly as much
time at work as we do at
home. According to a recent North American Survey, nearly 50% of workers rank
their work environment as the most critical element of job satisfaction. In
fact, they ranked environment above praise and recognition, compensation and
benefits, job security, and promotions.
NW
Office Interiors understands that a critical element for project success is
providing quality, professional design support. Utilizing our staff designer
as a resource for your own architect or design source, we employ a computer
aided design system that provides specifications, product lists and
installation drawings.
In addition, our designers are knowledgeable of codes
and regulations, competitive products,
fabric and finish schemes, and new
flexible work styles.
We've worked with
hundreds of
companies and their A&D firms to
understand, plan, design, develop, and build great workplaces supporting
their people and their business goals, making efficient use of their
environments and assets. |

One of our best clients was faced with a situation where they had two
companies that needed to merge into the same work space using an open floor
plan. There space consisted of seven separate office suites, all in
different shapes and sizes with a hallway in between. NW Office Interiors
helped them address this complex situation by first, taking the time to
learn about their companies, specific needs and work habits, and then
assessing the space as a whole, to determine the best use for each space and
the best work flow for the staff.
This saved them countless hours of deliberation and stress - and all at what
we considered to be a very reasonable price. "There are not a lot of
companies that do this and we were thrilled to find NW Office Interiors. We
will be singing their praises for a long time to come!" they mentioned at
the open house.
