Customized furniture service process

Initial consultation: clarify needs and budget planning

The first step in customizing furniture is to establish communication with a professional interior design team. Through online consultation, Whatsapp or phone contact, customers can initially state their needs, such as:

Space use : living room storage cabinet, children's room desk, kitchen system cabinet, etc.
Style preference : Nordic simplicity, industrial style, Japanese logs, etc.
Functional requirements : whether hidden sockets, adjustable shelves, special hardware accessories are needed
Budget range : Provide the expected price range, and the designer can recommend material solutions based on this.

Professional consultants will assess feasibility at this stage, such as the structural stability of a particular shape or the storage limits of a small space, and provide preliminary recommendations. It is recommended to bring a house floor plan or on-site photos at this time to help speed up communication efficiency.

On-site measurement: Accurately grasp spatial details

After confirming the willingness to cooperate, the design team will arrange on-site survey and measurement, including:

Space dimensions: Accurately measure length, width, height, beam and column positions, door and window openings Environment assessment: Check the flatness of the wall, floor levelness, water and electricity pipe configuration Traffic flow planning: Simulate the flow of people and usage scenarios after the furniture is placed

For example, when custom-making a wardrobe, you need to consider whether the door opening radius is restricted by the bed; for a system kitchen cabinet, you need to confirm the location of the gas pipeline and socket. At this stage, it is recommended that the homeowner be present in person to discuss usage habits on site (such as planning for left-handed countertops) to ensure that the design meets actual needs.

Design proposal: 3D drawing and material selection

Based on the measurement data and demand interviews, the designer will provide:

Floor plan : mark the furniture size and space proportion
3D furniture map : simulate the actual finished effect, and adjust the color and shape
Material samples : provide physical samples such as wood texture, stone countertops, hardware accessories, etc.

Taking the design of study cabinet combination as an example, the designer may propose an "L-shaped corner desk + wall cabinet + base cabinet" solution, and match it with glass door panels to reduce the sense of oppression. At this time, it is important to confirm:

Board specifications : E0 / E1 grade environmentally friendly plywood
Hardware brand : Use durable accessories such as buffer hinges and door buckles
Special technology : rounded corner anti-collision treatment, LED light strip integrated design

Quote confirmation and deposit payment

After the design is finalized, the manufacturer will provide a detailed quotation, including:

Unit price and total of various materials (plates, hardware, special accessories)
Construction costs (cutting, assembly, delivery)
Installation time and warranty terms

We will adopt a staged model to charge for custom-made furniture. Generally, we will charge the owner the relevant fees in the following stages:

1. If you need a designer to draw up a floor plan of the unit furniture after the initial meeting, the fee is HKD$500
2. First payment (before the 3D drawing of the furniture is issued): Deposit – 20% of the total cost
3. Second installment: before confirming with the furniture factory about the material cutting and production: 30% of the total cost
4. The third phase: The factory will take photos of the finished furniture for confirmation. Before the furniture arrives in Hong Kong, the customer needs to pay 45% of the total cost.
5. Final payment: 5% of the total cost after furniture installation (minus the initial cost of $500)

Professional furniture installation and final inspection

On the day of installation, the technical team will:

On-site protection: lay dust-proof mats to avoid scratching the floor <br>Positioning and assembly: splice the cabinets according to the design and use a level to calibrate <br>Functional testing: check the door hinges, drawer load-bearing, and light switches <br>Finishing and cleaning before handover: the team will trim the furniture, remove construction debris, and provide maintenance instructions

Key points to check during acceptance :

Size fit : whether the cabinet and the wall fit seamlessly
Appearance integrity : whether there are scratches or color differences on the surface
Functional operation : Are all moving parts operating smoothly?

It takes about 4-8 weeks from consultation to completion for custom-made furniture , and every step affects the final result. Choosing a manufacturer with a professional design team, its own factory and complete after-sales service can greatly reduce communication costs and quality risks. Owners or residents can participate more actively in design decisions and collaborate with us to create a home that is both beautiful and functional.
