“We were looking for a team that would listen to our unique requirements and had the ability to translate them into a functional and esthetically pleasing space that reflects who we are. We could not be more pleased with their work...and our new “home.” Even though the major project is finished, Pivot has supported us by always being available to address our additional furniture needs and the occasional furniture repair. We really appreciate the ongoing relationship, especially during this time when most of our staff are working from home. Pivot has been extremely helpful in assisting our team members with their home office needs. ”
Harpoon Therapeutics Phyllis Kimmel | Sr. Manager Corporate and Business Affairs

Pivot’s team has a solid approach to define the requirements, has fresh solutions to select from, shows products that are within the established budget, communicates well on schedule and delivery, and continues to support clients after the project is delivered. Pivot is an easy referral because I’m confident that my client’s goals will be achieved. You will be pleased when you select Pivot for your next project! ”

“I love working with Pivot. Over the years they have provided nothing less than outstanding customer service. Their excellent service as it relates to product order, installation and follow-up are the key reasons why I keep coming back. I also love the fact that it does not matter if I am buying a single chair or 200 workstations, I know that I can count on them to deliver excellent customer service.”

“Informatica’s aggressive construction schedule required the utmost attention to detail and execution, as the project was literally being managed not by days, but by hours. Pivot’s design and project management teams ensured that all product was correctly specified, ordered, and delivered within the tight timeframe that was outlined. The installation of product needed to follow a specific flow that was dictated by construction activities and move-in dates. Thanks to meticulous planning and flawless execution, what was accomplished in eight days was nothing short of a miracle. Kudos to the entire Pivot team on keeping to their promises and delivering exceptional product and service.”

“Pivot and Adobe have had a very strong partnership for over 15 years. During the past 6 years, we have been doing large scale renovations all over the world. We are fortunate to have Pivot on our team as we tackle these projects. We have a trusted partnership in which we can always expect the Pivot team to deliver quality product on time and on budget. In cases where something slips, they follow up and promptly resolve the issue. ”
Adobe Sr. Project Delivery Manager
“Pivot knows how to work with our deadlines and come up with strategies to meet them. The completion of work requests is seamless. The designer and installation manager make a point of knowing their client and their client's products. There is very little supervision needed after approval for the work has been given. Pivot schedules their work for the convenience of the client and has always proven to be very professional. Pivot has proven that they can handle multiple jobs that are on a tight deadline with a high level of complexity. You only need to explain the job to Pivot once. There is no hand holding. No one will lose any sleep.”

“The Seattle RIC 9-12 Floors Project was a huge success and Pivot was a big part of that. As usual the Pivot team worked closely with the architect to ensure product details were correct and aligned with the space and also with the GC showing teamwork and flexibility for installations to accommodate the overall schedule. The management of the local installer was also handled impeccably and they did a great job. Thanks so much to Joe and Jai and everyone else at Pivot for your continued hard work, dedication, attention to detail, positive “can do” attitude while staying within budget and on schedule. I also really appreciate the effective communication from Joe, especially the advance notice of any potential issues along with back up plans. Amazing problem solving and customer service!”
