4 reasons Custom Lighting is safer than Readily Available
With so many details going into designing and FF&E for a single space, sometimes the thought of doing custom work might seem daunting and unnecessary. Shop Drawings, Finish Approvals, Manufacturing Oh My!
But here are 3 reasons why choosing to Custom Make your Lighting visions for Public Spaces is a safer better!
Fallout Time: Sometimes 2-3 years can pass from your initial presentation that the client approves, to finally moving towards construction or renovation. And when it come to off-the-shelf or running line items, there is never any guarantee that the line item they approved will even be available when you’re ready. So with concept and budget locked in… what do you do if a fixture is discontinued? Do you risk going back to the client? Improvise something else? When you build a custom spec with LASPEC, rest-assured that the design your client approved will always be available. And if little tweaks need to be made, we’ll always help you find solutions.
Show Your Edge: Your client hired YOU to shine (no pun intended), and in our eyes, shining means bring new and improved designs to life to light up the world. Break through the design clutter by designing your own unique fixtures, that will be ever visible and radiant. Stand out, instead of just move with the current of trends. Build your personal brand, and we’ll continue support you throughout your career!
Trends Change: Trends can change overnight, and your clients want the next best space. So why stay locked in on fixtures that have been done, instead of pivoting forward with a manufacturer who has their finger on the pulse of trends? Stay ahead of the masses by partnering with LASPEC, and we’ll always share our deep industry knowledge to keep you wowing your clients!
Quantities vs Trade Discounts: Those exciting trade discounts always sound great, but when you’re purchasing in quantities (say, for corridors) sometimes you’ll be saving more when you custom manufacture. Why is that? Because running-line items usually don’t offer bulk discounts. With us at LASPEC, the higher the quantity, the lower the individual price.
