Why Renovate Your Reception Station?

A dated or cluttered reception area can send the wrong message.

Their tagline, “renovate in a weekend,” means you can upgrade your space quickly with minimal downtime, perfect for banks, offices, schools, or medical facilities.

Step 1: Plan Your Design

Start by assessing your current reception station. What’s working? What isn’t? Maybe you need better wiring for computers, more storage, or a layout that maximizes space. Modular Furniture Group offers tailored solutions, like their vertical bolt-together “grid wall” system, which acts as a hollow wire chase for easy device integration.

  • Action Item: Visit modularfurnituregroup.com and browse their reception station options. Note features like adjustable shelving, custom finishes, or computer kiosks that fit your needs.
  • Pro Tip: Contact their team for a consultation. They’ll help you design a station that matches your specs, ensuring it’s pre-engineered for rapid installation. Aim to finalize your design that Modular Furniture Group creates in 3D models. Be able to see your design criteria in a high tech CAD model showing you exactly what you will see your concepts materialize.

Step 2: Order Pre-Engineered Components

Modular Furniture Group’s 40+ years of process shines here. Their workstations are pre-engineered and custom-finished to your project’s specifications, meaning no long wait times. Once you’ve chosen your design—say, a sleek administration reception station with eco-friendly wood finishes or custom laminates—they’ll preassemble it in their factory.

  • Action Item: Place your order after you are satisfied with the 3D model. Modular Furniture Group’s rapid turnaround means components can be ready to ship quickly. Confirm delivery for a weekend or day that will keep your timeline tight.
  • Why It Works: Their furniture is built to last, combining natural woods and laminates with modern durability. You’re not just renovating—you’re investing in a long-term solution.

Step 3: Prep Your Space

On the scheduled install date, clear out your existing reception area. Remove old furniture, declutter, and clean the space. If structural work (like electrical or data wiring) is needed, Modular Furniture Group can coordinate with your contractor to ensure everything’s ready.

  • Action Item: Measure your space to confirm the new station will fit perfectly. Modular Furniture Group’s designs are premeasured for seamless setup, so double-check your layout.
  • Quick Tip: Keep your business running by scheduling this prep after hours. Their process minimizes disruption, so you won’t need to close.

Step 4: Install Your New Station

This is where the magic happens. Modular Furniture Group’s workstations arrive in prefabrcated and ready to assemble. The MFG team (or your contractor) can set everything up in hours, not days. The bolt-together system makes assembly fast, and features like pop-off removable access panels simplify wiring for computers or security systems. You will be impressed with the tidy and clutter free foot space the wire chase walls provide.

  • Action Item: Coordinate with Modular Furniture Group’s installation team for installation. They’ll handle everything from delivery to assembly, ensuring your station is functional by day’s end.
  • Standout Feature: Their “turnkey” installation means your reception station is ready to use immediately. No loose ends, no delays.

Step 5: Final Touches and Quality Check

Once installed, add personal touches—think plants, signage, or branded decor—to make the station feel welcoming. Modular Furniture Group’s service team will follow up to ensure you’re satisfied, backing their work with a 10-year warranty on hardware, workmanship, and finishes.

  • Action Item: Test the station’s functionality. Plug in devices, adjust shelves, and confirm everything works as planned. If issues arise, their team is ready to fix them fast.
  • Bonus: Their designs are rearrangeable, so if your needs change, you can tweak the setup without starting over.

Office Renovations – Tips for A Successful Remodel

Moving spaces, a growing team, or maybe you just need a change in your environment. Whatever the reason, how your business chooses to renovate can make all the difference. 

Unexpected errors in measurements or even finding out that the office chairs you like so much don’t fit under the new desks – even the smallest issues can put a damper on the process and your company (unexpected expenses and decreased productivity from your team). So, to help you get on the right path towards a quick, easy, and rewarding change, here are some tips for successful office renovations.

Understand Your Office Renovations Need

This first step is easiest when a small team is involved. It is best to get together with your employees and see, in general, what types of things they NEED from the space. Is their current environment too noisy? Too quiet? Too crowded? Do they need an extra desk just for the printer?

It may seem silly, but all of these (and more) questions are important in planning and catering to a new environment that makes sense for both the space and the people working there.

If, however, you don’t have a small team that you can collaborate with, get together with those in leadership. Are their departments lacking anything specific? How do their teams work best? This makes it easy to form spaces they all can be satisfied with.

In addition to being prepared when it comes to your people, this tip also helps when it comes to money. Understanding and knowing what you need to make things happen makes it easier to budget and estimate the true cost of your renovation without unexpected expenses.

Pick the Right Materials

Again, you and your team know your space better than anyone. Do you need something that is sturdy? Or, easy to clean? Or, can be quickly packed up and moved if needed? 

That’s the beauty of modular furniture!

Although most modular furniture is made out of wood, there are different varieties that can be used to meet your specific needs. From an office within a startup, to data entry in a hospital! Knowing what kind of materials you need is important so that you understand how you are limited in types of furniture but also have a better grasp of cost and time the project will take.

This is one of the main reasons why modular furniture is used so often. You get the best of all the worlds by getting the perfect material that can change based on your needs!

Make Out A Plan

Lastly, most office renovations take a lot of TIME. This means employees have to stay home, office areas are closed down, and, most critical, is business potentially being closed while the work gets done. So, what do you do?

  1. Keep everyone focused. Come together with your leadership team and discuss ways to keep your employees engaged. Is there an opportunity or training or team building? If you know things will take a few days and your normal functions will be slashed, why not get some good out of it by building up team morale?
  2. Go digital. Can’t be in office? Switch things up a notch! Interact with your employees and customers online. Hold chats, Q&As, or just a fun virtual sale/event to keep people involved while you are out of the office. Even if a week goes by, if you keep the connection there they won’t even notice.
  3. Invest in Modular Furniture Group. Worried that your renovation might take a few weeks? Yeah, the usually the normal turn around. But, if you want your remodel done during the WEEKEND (no business or employee interruptions), then you need to think about using Modular Furniture. Not only are our furniture designs fit to meet your specifications, but we ensure a smooth process that can easily be done before you get back Monday morning. 

There you have it, a few simple tips of what you can do to make your office renovations a true success – no matter what business you’re in. Interested in learning a bit more about our process?
