Office Furniture - Education Furniture Fit-out and Installation

Place purchase orders with manufacturers, log expected delivery dates against the project record, and set milestone alerts at four weeks and two weeks before the installation window opens.

Confirm the delivery and installation schedule with the school's project coordinator, covering access dates, room sequence, floor protection requirements, and the site key holder.

Check each manufacturer delivery against the delivery note and purchase order; log any damaged or missing items immediately and raise the claim with the manufacturer the same day.

Brief the installation team on the floor plan for each room, the furniture schedule, access arrangements, and the escalation contact at the school.

Deliver and unpack furniture in the agreed room sequence, protecting floors and corridors; assemble and position all items to the confirmed floor plan.

Carry out a snag check against the furniture schedule for each room, recording any items that are missing, damaged, or not to specification.

Walk completed rooms with the school's project contact and obtain a signed completion record noting any outstanding items and their agreed resolution timeline.

Raise the invoice for completed and signed-off rooms; document any holdback for outstanding items and agree payment terms for the balance.

Damaged goods found on site are noted informally but the manufacturer claim is never raised formally, so the cost of replacement falls on the dealer.

The final invoice goes out before snagging is fully resolved, leading to payment disputes once the school returns after the holiday period.

The installation team arrives on site without a detailed room-by-room floor plan, resulting in furniture being placed incorrectly and requiring a costly return visit.
