2 Real Benefits of Outsourcing Cubicle Installations in Tampa
04 Apr 2016
No one really likes assembling cubicles in their office, but we’re still amazed that companies in Tampa Bay will try to save money by having their employees put them together.
We don’t suggest it.
The reality is that office cubicles and workstations are heavy, bulky and unfriendly to put together — especially if you’re unaccustomed to working with them.
We recommend outsourcing that service. The two main reasons, being that:
1) Outsourcing saves time
2) Outsourcing ensures assembly is done correctly
Consider this
Most cubicles or workstations are made up of multiple parts. And if you have multiple cubicles that need assembly and placement, the project can quickly become overwhelming.
For example: the walled, corner workstation (image at right) can be purchased new at OfficeFurniture2Go.com for roughly $2,000.
This specific unit has at least 11 parts:
- 5 panel walls
- 1 partial-plexi panel wall
- 1 shelf
- 1 corner table top
- 2 side table tops
- 1 locking box /file pedestal
- 1 keyboard tray
- and a chair that will need to be assembled
Imagine having your employees try to put this together. And while they can probably do it (because furniture assembly is not rocket science), they’re going to struggle and its going to take longer than they hoped. They’re going to get frustrated and you’re going to risk damage (scratches, dents, broken pieces) on your new, $2,000 cubicle.
Outsourcing saves time
Very simply, outsourcing the cubicle installation saves time.
Why is that?
First, because our teams of office furniture installers are trained and experienced, they know exactly how to efficiently assemble pieces. Having done thousands of cubicle installs, the process becomes very easy.
Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, you and your employee’s time is much more valuable when it’s spent on doing the actual work that your company does.
Can you really afford to lose hours of your employee’s time putting together desks and wall partitions when it could be better focused on your core business?
When 2, $15 employees spend 2 hours assembling a cubicles, that’s $60. When they spend a full 8 hour workday assembling multiple workstations, that’s now $240.
And of course, that’s a full day’s time for 2 employees not spent addressing their day-to-day duties.

Outsourcing ensures it’s done correctly
This is important too.
Our teams, because of their attention to detail, will ensure that your cubicles are put together correctly. That means there are no missing pieces and no wobbly part.
This is important because a properly assembled workstation is also a safe workstation.
That means shelves won’t fall. Wall partitions won’t cave in. And random metal parts won’t be sticking out to injury your workers.
Companies could face liability and worker’s compensation issues if their office furniture were to cause injury, especially if they were assembled incorrectly.
While falls or slips and trips are the most common form of injury in office settings, there are many other dangers related to 9 to 5 office work. You certainly don’t want improperly assembled or positioned furniture to be the cause of your employees going to the hospital or missing work.
