If, after consultation, we feel that it would be useful to talk about the project for a longer period of time, we organise a longer meeting (from 60 minutes to 180 minutes), during which we can delve deeper into the project. Usually, at this meeting we already present an initial solution concept, which we refine together.

We see that clients in your industry are not always experienced in furniture design. They know what effect they want to achieve, but don’t know how to achieve it. Our designers advise on the optimal technical solutions. This means that we are able to take the client’s idea and bring it to the point where a functional and aesthetically pleasing product can be produced. The design workshop ends with the determination of the next steps, which vary from project to project.

If you have a design document or advanced concept already, we can skip the design workshop and move straight to the quotation.

If the design workshop produces a clear concept, we translate it onto paper. We design the product, whether it’s furniture or something else, and make a cost calculation or work within a budget. The final result is a conceptual design and a precise production estimate.

Customers in your industry often have trouble visualizing technical drawings of new products. Using your data, our design department makes 3D visualizations that show what the design will look like in real life. These visualizations help us identify and fix any problems in the design and keep the work schedule on track.

We make initial price estimates based on calculations by our designers. This process takes a while because we measure the amount of materials needed, check production and painting times, and enter the data into our system. It usually takes 2 to 3 days to estimate the price of one piece of furniture and around 2-3 weeks for an entire catalog.

For complex projects, it’s common to work with multiple companies. We assign a specific person to each project to make it easier for our clients, who have one main contact who knows everything about the project.

After you accept the quotation, you can order furniture prototypes. The prototypes allow you to see how the finished furniture will look and meet your expectations, while we measure actual production times and recalculate the price based on these. Sometimes, the actual production times are different from what we estimated in the initial quotation, so we may need to adjust the price of the product. If everything goes well, the approved prototype marks the start of our cooperation.

In our company, prototypes are paid for, but for larger projects, we may be able to give a discount on their price, effectively making them free.

We understand that the price of materials can fluctuate significantly and it can be challenging to stick to a budget. Changes in material prices can affect the final price of the product and threaten the budget. If certain conditions are met, such as an advance payment for materials, we may be able to provide a fixed price for a contract lasting for a set period, such as one year.

The prototype does not show all of the furniture in the shop or our collaboration, so we test it in one shop before final approval. Once an order is placed, we need about a month to prepare all the necessary documents and 4-6 weeks for production. The production process ends with packing and shipping the furniture to the shop.

Good communication is very important, so we offer a dedicated project manager to our clients to handle all inquiries. The project manager is always available at a single phone number and handles everything from design to production, transportation, and installation. They keep us updated on the progress of the work and handle any problems that arise, saving you and your employees time.

Using separate suppliers for timber and metal can cause delays and problems. We avoid these issues by doing everything under one roof at Vonart. This saves time and money on logistics.
