A GREAT PLACE TO WORK.

CLIENT: COSTUMER SERVICE COMPANY.

PROJECT: CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS OFFICE.

PROJECT SIZE: 13,500 sq ft.

HOW I GOT INTO CET DESIGNER?

Just graduated from Architecture school, when I got into the Interior Design branch,specially furniture design, I found it very difficult to swallow all this information I had to learnand retain, all this product models, specifications and pieces that I had to understand, andif you miss one little thing… it can be fatal; Also the pressure that you have to createsomething beautiful and functional with zero errors based on a budget and in a really shortdeadline.

During the training, my boss said: “There is a software that you’re gonna love” so she tookme to her workstation and showed me the CET Designer window, and said: “You just pickthe furniture system you want, the chair and it will just give you all the pieces you need withit’s price, and it marks in red when something is wrong” This really surprised me and I felt ahuge relief, and I couldn’t help it to say to her: “WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME BEFORE?”

That’s when I started being a CET Designer user, I fell in love with it, all the webinars, theonline support, the Facebook page tips, somehow all this crew has given me the perfect

tool so I could be focused in the only thing that I really love to do: TO DESIGN.

THE CLIENT

BACKGROUND

With the time, I was assigned to lead the space design of one of our most importantclient in México, a Costumer service company in constant growth, and with huge spaceplanning needs.This client is the leader worldwide in multichannel costumer experience, so to create agreat partnership and make this client happy is one of our major challenge.

The demand from this client is most part of the time pretty exhaustive, it demands theconstant construction and operation of new buildings for across the country, for whichit’s more than essential to do different tests fits, helping them to define spacesolutions, collaborative applications and somehow to define the corporation value.So the need to hand in typicals alternatives, space planning and finishes in a veryshort deadline, has been really simplified by using CET Designer..
