Free Measurement Service for Office Chairs

Regular office furniture customization manufacturers typically offer free on-site measurement services for the normal customization needs of corporate clients, but fees may apply in special scenarios. Details are as follows:

I. Regular Scenarios for Free Measurement Services For the normal customization needs of corporate clients (such as new office fit-outs or renovations of old offices), reputable manufacturers consider free on-site measurement as a fundamental part of the design process. For example, reputable manufacturers in Shanghai offer free surveys to accurately record key information such as spatial dimensions, beam and column positions, and electrical and plumbing points. They also provide free floor plan layouts, furniture matching plans, and simple renderings. These services aim to ensure that customized furniture fits perfectly within the space while reducing initial communication costs for the company.

II. Special Scenarios Where Fees May Apply

1. Non-customization Needs: If a company only requires measurement services or layout drawings without the intention to purchase furniture, some manufacturers may charge a one-time survey and design fee to cover labor and drawing production costs.
2. Remote Locations: Suburban areas, remote industrial parks, or other locations outside the manufacturer's regular service area may incur additional remote service fees due to increased transportation costs.
3. Complex or Irregular Spaces: For spaces with challenging survey conditions, such as loft structures or multi-level office areas, manufacturers may charge a survey and design fee to compensate for additional technical efforts.

III. Fee Deduction and Refund Rules If a company pays a survey fee and ultimately collaborates with the manufacturer, the fee can usually be fully deducted from the project payment. However, if the company unilaterally decides not to proceed with the collaboration, the paid fee will not be refunded. Additionally, re-measurements remain free under regular circumstances, but if multiple re-measurements are required due to the company's unilateral changes to the space layout, the manufacturer may charge a small service fee.

IV. Recommendations for Companies Choosing Services

1. Clarify needs in advance: If only measurement services are required without a purchase plan, confirm with the manufacturer whether fees apply.
2. Verify service coverage: Confirm whether the location falls within the manufacturer's free service area to avoid additional transportation costs.
3. Retain collaboration documents: If a survey fee is paid, keep payment records for potential deduction from future project payments.
