Eight Stages of Office Furniture Supply
Each stage is structured to ensure the right information is gathered, reviewed, and confirmed before supply is arranged. No stage is skipped; each builds on the last.
Stage 1
Submit Workspace Requirement
Buyer Provides
- Workspace type and intended use
- Furniture categories needed
- Rough quantities per category
- Site location and access overview
DS Reviews
- Enquiry feasibility and category match
- Commercial suitability and scope
- Whether the enquiry can proceed
Gets Confirmed
- Categories to proceed with
- Recommended next steps in the process
Why It Matters
Ensures the enquiry is clear before specification begins, avoiding delays from incomplete or ambiguous requirements.
Stage 2
Review Furniture Categories
Buyer Provides
- Specific categories required (desks, chairs, storage, etc.)
- Usage context and office environment type
- Team size or room occupancy
DS Reviews
- Category availability and sourcing routes
- Specification requirements per category
- Any alternative categories to consider
Gets Confirmed
- Furniture categories for the enquiry
- Specification needs per category
Why It Matters
Category clarity reduces delays in specification and helps identify sourcing routes earlier in the process.
Stage 3
Confirm Quantities and Measurements
Buyer Provides
- Exact quantities per furniture item or category
- Room dimensions and layout information
- Floor plan or available space dimensions where relevant
DS Reviews
- Quantities against typical lead times
- Quantities against available supply routes
- Whether layout information supports specification
Gets Confirmed
- Quantities to be sourced per category
- Any measurement queries to be resolved
Why It Matters
Accurate quantities avoid supply errors, misaligned deliveries, and scope changes that extend procurement timelines.
Stage 4
Discuss Specification and Finish
Buyer Provides
- Preferred finish, colour, and material
- Height, depth, and width preferences
- Any finish matching requirements with existing furniture
DS Reviews
- Specification options against sourcing routes
- Finish availability and alternatives if needed
- Any specification constraints from supplier range
Gets Confirmed
- Agreed specification for the enquiry
- Finish options and any alternative recommendations
Why It Matters
Finish and specification matching is essential for workspace cohesion and avoiding costly post-supply replacements.
Stage 5
Check Availability or Sourcing Route
Buyer Provides
- Timeline requirements for delivery
- Flexibility on alternative products or timescales
DS Reviews
- Current availability per sourcing route
- Alternative sourcing routes and lead time differences
- Lead time estimates based on current supply position
Gets Confirmed
- Availability status (subject to change)
- Lead time estimate per sourcing route
Why It Matters
Availability changes constantly; no guaranteed stock should be assumed before formal confirmation at this stage.
Stage 6
Confirm Pricing and Commercial Terms
Buyer Provides
- Budget context for the enquiry
- Payment approach and commercial preferences
DS Reviews
- Pricing based on sourcing route and quantities
- Commercial terms applicable to the supply arrangement
Gets Confirmed
- Agreed pricing per order
- Commercial terms confirmed in writing per enquiry
Why It Matters
Pricing is confirmed per enquiry and not displayed as fixed catalogue prices, as it depends on specification, sourcing, and commercial context.
Stage 7
Arrange Delivery or Assembly Discussion
Buyer Provides
- Delivery address and site postcode
- Floor level and lift or stair access details
- Site contact for delivery coordination
- Any access constraints or restricted delivery times
DS Reviews
- Delivery feasibility and third-party requirements
- Whether assembly discussion is applicable
- Any additional logistics or access considerations
Gets Confirmed
- Delivery arrangements and logistics
- Assembly discussion terms if applicable
Why It Matters
Delivery and assembly involve separate arrangements, costs, and terms — not automatically included in supply agreements.
Stage 8
Review Supplier and Return Terms
Buyer Provides
- Confirmation of understanding of supplier terms
- Any specific questions about returns or warranties
DS Reviews
- Applicable supplier terms for the products supplied
- Return and warranty provisions per product and supplier
Gets Confirmed
- Return, warranty, and post-supply terms per product
- Supplier terms communicated to the buyer
Why It Matters
Returns and warranties are governed by supplier terms, not DominionSpace. Buyers should understand supplier policy before purchase.
Transparency on How DominionSpace Operates
DominionSpace is transparent about the scope and limitations of its office furniture supply service. The following points are important for all buyers to understand before submitting an enquiry.
No Guaranteed Stock
Product availability is confirmed per enquiry and subject to sourcing conditions at the time of review. DominionSpace does not operate a live public stock inventory. Availability is reviewed per sourcing route and communicated at enquiry stage. Subject to change before formal confirmation.
Pricing Confirmed Per Enquiry
DominionSpace does not display fixed public prices for office furniture products. Pricing is confirmed per enquiry based on product category, specification, quantities, sourcing route, supplier terms, and agreed commercial arrangements. No pricing commitment is implied at any stage before formal written confirmation.
Delivery is Third-Party
Delivery arrangements involve third-party logistics providers. Delivery costs, access requirements, scheduling, and terms are separate from the furniture supply arrangement and are confirmed independently. DominionSpace coordinates delivery discussions but delivery terms are governed by the logistics provider involved.
Assembly Discussed Separately
Assembly and installation are not automatically included in office furniture supply. Any assembly requirements, availability, costs, and terms are discussed and confirmed separately as part of the enquiry process. Assembly availability is subject to third-party capacity and confirmed per arrangement.
Returns Governed by Supplier
Return terms for office furniture products are governed by the relevant supplier's terms and conditions at the time of supply. DominionSpace facilitates enquiries and provides relevant supplier return information per order. Buyers should review supplier return and warranty terms before confirming purchase.
Buyer Confirms Measurements
The accuracy of workspace measurements, room dimensions, access details, floor levels, and spatial constraints is the responsibility of the buyer. DominionSpace reviews enquiries based on the information provided. Measurement errors that result in supply or delivery issues are the buyer's responsibility to resolve.
