Free On-Site Measurement and Consultation — Eggleston Office

Service · On-site measurement and consultation

Free on-site measurement and consultation.

The front door of every Eggleston Office project. We come to your office, take field measurements, and have a vision conversation about how the space should feel and function. No deposit, no obligation, no upsell at the door. The deliverable that follows — a detailed floor plan, a quote, samples brought to your office for evaluation — depends on this first visit being honest about your space and your goals.

Why we come to you

Most office furniture vendors run the buyer journey in the opposite direction: the customer drives to a showroom, walks the chairs, takes notes, drives home, and tries to imagine the furniture in their actual space. The mismatch between the showroom impression and the lived office is often where furniture buying decisions go sideways. A chair that felt right at the showroom feels different in a windowed corner office; a workstation footprint that looked clean on a sheet of paper turns out to crowd a column the buyer forgot about; the conference table that fit the showroom mock-up needs three more feet of clearance for chairs in the buyer’s actual room.

The come-to-you model exists because reversing the direction produces better-fit projects. The furniture conversation happens in the room the furniture will live in. The team measuring your space sees the windows, the column placements, the existing pieces you are keeping, the daily traffic patterns, and the half-dozen small details that change a layout. The decisions that follow are calibrated to the actual space, not to the abstraction.

If you would prefer to start by visiting our Euless showroom instead, that is welcomed too — but the field measurement still happens at your office before any layout work begins. The on-site walkthrough is the first concrete step regardless of how the conversation begins.

What the on-site walkthrough covers

A typical first visit runs 45 to 90 minutes. The longer end is for larger projects (multi-floor builds, full reconfigurations, projects with mixed scope across furnishing, electrical, and tenant-improvement coordination). The shorter end is for tighter projects (a chair refresh, a single conference room, a small private-office build-out).

  • Field measurement — we measure the actual floor: wall lengths, column placements, electrical outlet locations, door swings, ceiling heights where relevant, window placements that affect furniture layout. If you have current architectural drawings (DWG, PDF with dimensions, marked-up plans), we work from those and field-measure as verification rather than initial measurement.
  • Vision conversation — how the team works (heads-down vs. collaborative, individual vs. team-density-driven), what is broken with the current space (if there is one), what success looks like at move-in, what budget envelope and timeline the project sits in. Open conversation; we ask more than we tell.
  • Existing inventory walk-through — if you are keeping some existing furniture, we look at it: what stays, what fits the new layout, what gets repurposed, what gets liquidated through our separate liquidation service.
  • Building-context observation — loading dock access, freight elevator availability, COI requirements from the building’s tenant-services group. Most of this gets answered for the install schedule rather than the design phase, but capturing it on the first visit avoids surprises later.
  • Next-step framing — the visit ends with a clear next step. Usually that is a detailed floor plan produced often next day, sometimes same day, and a written quote following within one to two business days of the layout review.

What you do not need to prepare

We have visited offices that were construction-zone-empty and offices that were fully built out with furniture the customer hated. Both work. The visit is more useful when you have a rough sense of headcount and timeline, but no preparation is required. If you have not measured anything, we will measure. If you have not decided on chair models, we will walk you through options at sample-delivery time. If you do not know what budget you are working in, the visit often helps clarify it by showing you the realistic price ranges for the layout your space supports.

Service area for on-site walkthroughs

The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex is the standard service area — every county in DFW MSA, plus regular spillover into Denton, Collin, Tarrant, Dallas, Rockwall, Ellis, Johnson, Parker, and Wise counties. The four Eggleston Office addresses (Euless home base plus Fort Worth, Dallas, and Plano meeting offices) put a team member within a 30-to-45-minute drive of most metroplex addresses.

Statewide Texas — Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Dublin, Aledo, Parker County, and other Central and North Texas locations — is also covered for on-site walkthroughs, with travel time and overnight planning quoted per project. We have run on-site measurement visits as far as Houston (260 miles) and Austin (200 miles); the visit is the same content as a DFW visit, just with a longer drive.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. No deposit, no obligation, no charge for the visit itself. The visit is operationally absorbed because the engagement that follows usually leads to a furniture order; for projects that go through the visit and detailed floor plan but do not order furniture from us, we do not back-charge for the time. The handful of times this happens per year are part of the cost of operating the service the way we do.

For most projects, within one week of the initial inquiry. Urgent timelines (lease ending, hard move-in date in three weeks or less) get prioritized; we have done same-week visits when a buyer’s situation required it. Out-of-region visits (Austin, Houston, San Antonio) take longer to schedule because of travel logistics, typically two to three weeks out.

Usually one or two people: a design-team member who handles the field measurement and detailed floor plan work, plus (for larger projects) a senior team member who can speak to inventory, lead times, and pricing in real time. The same team members continue with you through detailed floor plan, sample delivery, and quote — so the people who walked your space are the same people you work with through install.

Common scenario. We can run the visit at the unbuilt space (with the GC’s permission and assuming building access is workable) to measure the bones, or we can work from the architect’s drawings if those exist and meet at one of our four addresses to talk through the layout vision. The come-to-your-current-office option also works for clients moving into a new space — we visit your current office, learn how the team works, then design for the new floor based on the architectural drawings.

Nothing. The detailed floor plan deliverable is yours regardless. We have had projects where the customer used our layout, then sourced part of the furniture elsewhere; we have had projects where the customer reviewed the layout, decided their building did not work, and went looking for different space. Both outcomes are fine. The visit is not a loss leader contingent on closing a sale; it is part of how we operate.
