Specification, Design & Planning
Whether you are designing a new office, washroom, library or a complete fit out, the vital first stages of any project begin with the specification requirements, followed by careful design and planning.
Our approach
Our approach is to work with you and your team to bring your ideas to life! From over 35 years experience across a very wide range of educational and workplace furniture applications, we can give you and your team real support in developing the optimum solution to achieve your project objectives.

The Springfield Service
We offer a vast array of ideas and options, supported by a constantly updated product library. Our commitment to continuous improvement keeps us attuned to the latest trends, legislation, and best practices in furniture, fittings, and equipment. The majority of our customers are schools, colleges, and public institutions; however, we also expand our knowledge and skills to work with a wide range of organisations.
We specialise in identifying tailored solutions that align with your design, layout, and finish requirements while respecting budget and space constraints.
Using advanced CAD facilities and the expertise of our dedicated project teams, we prepare proposals that reflect your vision.
Let us help you create exceptional learning and working environments!

At the concept stage
Understanding the problems you face and the requirements you have is the first step in delivering the best solution to meet your needs.
For each project we will discuss the challenges it presents – for example, perhaps you need to fit 30 students into a classroom that will only allow 25 using conventional desking, or maybe you need heavy duty yet colourful furniture for a school canteen or refectory?
Once we know what you are looking for, we will explore ideas, product solutions, layouts, finishes and any other options that we believe will best meet your particular needs, bringing our extensive knowledge of the educational furniture, equipment and supplies market to bear.

At the specification stage
Having developed a concept for your project, it is essential that we then present this in a clear and comprehensive manner so you know exactly what the final solution will look like. This would include samples from our extensive educational furniture technical library and use of CAD software to visualise your project in a meaningful way.

At the implementation stage
Good preparation at both concept and specification stages is further backed by an effective implementation of your project. We recognise that in schools and colleges term dates are fixed deadlines and that late delivery of student and staff equipment and furniture is simply not an option. In order to ensure your deadlines are met, we can where necessary stock items for phased or deferred delivery to give you the peace of mind it will be there when you need it to be.

At the installation stage
Flatpack furniture may be popular for the home, but in a school environment, that approach is not usually the right one. That’s why we don’t deliver boxes – we install educational furniture and equipment, ensuring that all work is executed and tested to our high standards! We are more than happy to work with your premises management to install the finished product; whether it’s a desk or chair for the school office or a complete classroom, reception area, library, or I.T. suite, the same standards of care will apply.

At completion
No one likes a pile of cardboard, polystyrene and other packing materials to get rid of at the end of a big project, so we take care of all of that for you – from the hard work of furniture installation and assembly, right through to disposing of the mess, we do it all!
