TX OFFICE INSTALLATION SERVICES was formed in early July, 1993, and is presently operating with 45 - 50 installation personnel. Our entry into the Dallas/Fort Worth market came after over two years of involvement with local dealers and service companies with our then -parent company, Facility Investment Group. Our market analysis found a major need for additional trained installation and delivery personnel.
Also, we felt that many other service companies did not have the skills and services needed due to the expanding demand for contract furniture dealer services. Since our background is strong in job costing, quotation, work planning and a full range of contract furniture service programs - mostly for the dealer community - we decided to invest the money and personnel necessary to enter this market.

We relocated our senior staff members from the Los Angeles office of The Triad Installation Company. The Triad Installation Company, in business since 1987, provided the Southern California contract furniture marketplace with such services as delivery, installation, project management, inventory management, and product service and repair. By coming into the Dallas/Fort Worth market with experienced crew, management, operating procedures, and existing equipment, we gained an advantage over a true startup operation. |

Our desire is to build a client base of firms requiring time and materials labor, and firms requiring fully managed installations. As of this date, we have fifty(50) full-time installers, six(6) field supervisors and four(4) drivers skilled in furniture deliveries. Since February of 1996, we have added two(2) 24-foot Bobtail, two(2)15- foot Inner-City vans with lift gates and one(1) 15-seater passenger van in our fleet. We are continuing to market our services to other dealers in the Dallas/Fort Worth marketplace, and we feel our focus should be on increasing our customer base, rather than our sales volume. Some sales increase will come from that effort, so we expect to increase our staff to 60 - 65 people, with further additions in equipment and personnel for expanded delivery services.
