Architectural Walls

Architectural walls, demountable walls, movable walls, high walls, modular walls, floor-to-ceiling walls, living walls, self-standing interior partitions. Whatever you may call today’s custom-manufactured, relocatable and highly adaptable alternatives to conventional drywall…we speak the language.

Since our first architectural wall installation in 2008, Manning Group has worked with most brands and lines found in the United States; including wall products from DIRTT, Haworth, Herman Miller, KI, Maars, Muraflex, Steelcase, Teknion and Trendway. Looking at just the past two years, our teams have installed close to two miles of solid and glass wall product plus over 300 pivot and sliding barn doors, all from leading names in the industry.

Architectural wall installation is a specialty at Manning Group. In addition to being experienced modular furniture installers, the members of our dedicated wall teams complete manufacturer and in-house training in wall products. But it takes more than polished assembly techniques to install walls correctly. That’s why we assign people to our wall teams who have special qualifications:

  • Skill in precision measurement
  • Superior attention to detail
  • Patience and mental focus to solve unique problems – sometimes several each day
  • The mechanical aptitude needed to hang doors quickly yet perfectly
  • Advanced carpentry skills required for cutting, required to produce clean, custom fits that make the finished job look like it came that way from the factory

Hospitality

Manning Group has seasoned furniture installers who are experienced in hotel environments. We have the proper man power, tools, equipment and building-protection for installations at multiple properties. We have experienced project managers to service your needs and we have top notch receiving, storage and delivery reporting. All that and more makes Manning Group the company for your hospitality projects. Our fleet of box trucks & tractor trailers affords logistical capabilities unmatched in the Phoenix market.

Manning Group has long been a supplier of installation, moving and facility services for hotel back offices. Starting in 2008, we’ve also become the company for high-quality, high-volume installation of furniture, fixtures and equipment for a wide variety of guest-facing spaces in hotels and hotel/casino complexes.

The bulk of our experience is with upscale and luxury properties in Phoenix and Tucson. Assignments include installing close to 1000 new guest rooms; removing and then re-installing furniture and fixtures for 300-plus guest rooms undergoing renovation; setting up specialty meetings for large groups on a tight timeline; installation of lounge and VIP areas, time share suites, and guest room mockups. We’ve also been called on to provide receiving, delivery, storage, touch-up, repair and various facility services. Our success in meeting both the needs and the standards of hoteliers in highly competitive markets offers assurance that Manning Group will meet if not exceed expectations for projects of your own.

Our projects are staffed by uniformed, badged and neatly groomed Manning Group employees who know how to get the job done while minimizing disruption and inconvenience to hotel staff and guests. They undergo pre-employment background checks and drug testing and are subject to random drug testing. Our crews consist of well-trained contract furniture professionals with experience in making proper wall and floor attachments for hotel environments.

Construction and product-delivery schedules, sequencing and even everyday hotel operations can all complicate the timing of installers work. That’s why our planning, quoting and scheduling are handled by experienced account managers who know how to work through the challenges and make life easy for our client and the hotel management.

Aided by our custom developed project management system, they readily assemble the right mix of talent and develop the multi-shift, multi-month schedules often required to get each phase of a job done on time and keep Manning Group in synch with the GC, construction trades and other third parties.

Our crews are supervised by lead men who solve problems as they arise, if not before, and assure that our work is done in accordance with the pertinent codes and standards, including Manning Group quality standards. They communicate well with the rest of the project team, keep them up to speed on our work, and spell out any issues that could hamper progress.

Our warehouse provides receiving, storage and delivery services to support hotel installation projects. We have enough vehicles, tools and equipment to run multiple jobs simultaneously every day.

Institutional

Manning Group has long been a leading installer of healthcare and educational environments. We understand their unique nature, stringent timelines and privacy protocols. Our team of installation professionals has the planning, skillset, and tools to perform in these challenging settings. With continued pressure in these industries to cut costs, facilities need an efficient transition plan to minimize downtime and maximize operation productivity throughout a move project. We have a proven performance record and our experience can make your move seamless.

  • Move Management
  • IT Disconnect/Reconnect
  • Tear Down and Re-Install Modular Furniture
HEALTHCARE

It takes critical planning and coordination as well as thoughtful preparation prior to relocating a healthcare facility or reconfiguring an existing space. It is especially important to have an installation crew that has experience working in hospitals, which need to be up and running during the process. Typically, patient areas need to be operational on day one of install, and operations remain running in the build areas while the changes are taking place.

  • Administrative Offices
  • Lab and Clinical Areas
  • Patient Rooms
  • Nurses Stations
  • Public Spaces: Lobbies, Lounges, Reception, Waiting Rooms
  • Food and Beverage Areas: Indoor/Outdoor Cafés, Cafeterias, Dining Rooms
Educational Environments

Educational facilities have challenges of their own. School needs to start on time. In Arizona, site readiness is often a major challenge as there is so much work to be completed in a short, and hot timeframe. The furniture is one of the last pieces of the puzzle, and our installers are expected to complete in a condensed time frame. We have learned to work within these restraints and provide install completion before the bell rings!

  • Schools
  • Cafeterias
  • Classrooms
  • Faculty Offices
  • Science Rooms
  • Libraries
  • Student Lounges
  • Millwork
  • Auditorium

Receiving


Lighten Your Burden
Manning Group uses a first and second shift approach to meet the needs of our customers. Our warehouse staff begins their day at 4 AM and ends at 5 PM, Monday thru Friday. Receiving Hours are from 6 AM to 2 PM and an appointment is required for delivery 48 hours in advance. When your order arrives at the warehouse, our staff unloads the product, checks it against the receiving tickets, scans the information and emails it to you within 24 hours of product receipt. We will inspect cartons for damage immediately. If there is damage, it is recorded with the freight company, a picture is taken, and a report is made with all the information, along with product numbers and sent to you for the filing of a freight claim.After product is checked against receiving tickets, tags are made for each pallet with the client name, project name and pallet count. Receiving records are then entered into the receiving/delivery management module of our custom business system with product pallet locations noted.


Quick Turn Around
Quick turn-around by people who know, detailed receiving records, on call staff and more…
Loading the right product for delivery is just as important as receiving it. Our second shift warehouse crew reverses this process by double checking our receiving tickets on the way out and the product is then marked as delivered in our system. We assemble as much product in our warehouse as possible. We remove as much trash as possible without jeopardizing the product and we hand load your product to ensure a quick and easy delivery to your client.

When your rental contract expires in a commercial lease, you have obligations to leave the space in a “turn-key” condition.  The expectations of what this means to the owner of the space will be specified in your rental agreement.

Decommissioning the facility for turnover to the landlord/owner can involve many services.  Here are a few things to consider when leaving your space, but before turning your key in.

  • Get required condition for turnover in writing! You should meet with the property manager before scheduling any space decommissioning to make sure you meet the conditions of your contract.
  • Let us help you with your leftover furniture/equipment assets.  After you have moved everything to be used in the new space, you might have furniture, fixtures, filing or equipment that didn’t make the cut. Manning Group can work with you to find the best use of these items.

Including:

  • Removal & Liquidation
  • Removal & Recycling of goods and/or trash
  • Removal & Disposal of goods and/or trash that are non-recyclable
  • E-Waste Removal including computers, televisions, VCRs, stereos, copiers, and fax machines
  • Remember the cabling needs to go!  It doesn’t matter if it’s voice or data cables, it all needs to be removed from ceiling and floor channels; or cut cables at wall outlets and rolled up in ceiling space.
  • Cleaning and repairs. Once you have all the furniture and cabling out, you can get a good look at what you are turning back over to the landlord. Depending on what the terms of your contract are, there are some things that most likely will need to be done to get your deposit back.  These are services that we provide to help you leave your space in a “Broom Clean” condition:
  • Repair of wall surfaces (not including painting)
  • Ceiling tile replacement
  • Vacuum office carpeting and/or tile flooring
  • Mop tile flooring
  • Sweep concrete flooring

Once all our services are complete, we will have a final walkthrough of the facility for compliance sign off.
