How can a furniture wholesaler support a commercial fit out project?
Written by · Published
OLG Office is an Australian commercial furniture wholesaler that works alongside furniture partners on fit out projects, from enquiry to installation. It offers showroom visits, site meetings, samples and specialist product advice, so clients can try the range, compare options and adapt products to their space before they commit.
Why see and try furniture before you commit?
On a commercial fit out, furniture decisions last for years. Specifications and renders only go so far. Sitting in the chair for more than a minute, checking desk heights, seeing a finish in natural light and hearing how acoustic panels change a room is what gives people confidence they’ve made the right choice. It also surfaces better options early, while the layout and budget can still change.
What support does OLG offer on a fit out?
- Showroom visits: For larger projects, the client team can try seating, desking, acoustics and upholstery in one visit and compare options side by side.
- Site visits: OLG can walk the space, understand how people will use it and talk through what will work.
- Samples, finishes and alternative solutions. Including adapted products: different heights, upholstery in the client’s own fabric, and acoustic panels cut to any design.
- Specialist product advice. Clear answers on specification, compliance, care and options, so decisions don’t stall.
How does OLG work with furniture partners?
OLG works alongside the furniture dealer or fit out partner on a project, never around them. The partner stays the client’s main contact, and OLG brings the product depth when the project calls for it: in the showroom, on site or on the phone. For the client, that means one relationship with the specialist knowledge behind it.
What happens when clients try the range first?
A professional sports club was planning its fit out with its furniture partner. OLG started with a site visit to measure up and understand what mattered most to the club, then the team visited the OLG showroom to try the range. Once they had, they added and upgraded pieces to suit how their people work, and the final fit out covered about 20% more than the original brief. The club was so happy with the result that it has ordered three more times since.
On another project, OLG measured the site and put forward a first recommendation built around the client’s original $384k budget. Before signing off, the client team wanted to see the product in person. In the showroom, they made some changes and upgraded a few products, and the final fit out came to $492k, a better match for how they wanted the space to work.
OLG has supported more than $1.9 million of fit out projects this way in recent months, including sports and club fit outs, a finance company office and an industrial services business. Clients and partners aren’t named, because their projects are theirs.
What makes OLG different?
- Breadth of a wholesaler, depth of a specialist: Seating, desking, tables, storage, acoustics and upholstery from one source, with the product knowledge to advise rather than just quote.
- Adapted, not off the shelf: OLG adapts its own range to the project: heights, upholstery in the client’s fabric, acoustics cut to any design.
- 10-year warranty: Backing the product long after installation.
- From enquiry to installation: In partnership to support your success.
Working with a furniture dealer on your fit out?
