Refurbished Office Furniture Saves Overbury Over £2000 on Site Setup Costs

Ida Gorecka • July 18, 2025

Anyone who's worked in construction knows that site setup costs can quickly spiral. For Overbury, one of the UK's leading fit-out and refurbishment specialists, managing these costs while maintaining professional standards is a constant balancing act. When setting up their latest construction site office, they faced a challenge familiar to many in the industry: creating a functional workspace quickly and cost-effectively.


After seeing what we achieved together on their previous project, Overbury approached us with clear priorities - they needed a professional office setup delivered on a construction timeline. With tight deadlines to meet and costs to manage, they needed their office space ready quickly while avoiding the expense and environmental impact of buying new office furniture. Like many construction projects, this one came with complex requirements - specific layouts, tight timelines, and budget constraints - yet Overbury knew from experience that
refurbished office furniture could deliver exactly what they needed.


Making Second-Hand Office Furniture Work for Construction

Construction site offices are where critical decisions get made and teams coordinate - they need to be professional, functional, and set up fast. From planning to delivery, everything moved at construction speed. Our team reviewed Overbury's specific site requirements and presented clear options that would work for their space. Once they selected their preferred second-hand office furniture package, we had everything delivered and ready within just 7 days - a timeline that any site manager would appreciate. This rapid response meant no delays to their busy construction schedule.



Project Outcomes: Delivering Carbon and Cost Benefits

The numbers show nothing but clear benefits for Overbury.


Their choice of second-hand office furniture cut their carbon footprint by 926kg of CO2e - that's the same as taking 4,711 miles of car travel off the road.


The figures made financial sense as well, saving Overbury £2,248 compared to purchasing new office furniture.


Refurbished Office Furniture That Delivers on Every Front

Whether you're setting up a construction site office or managing multiple project locations, the challenge remains the same - creating professional workspaces without excessive cost or delay. The project showed how refurbished office chairs and desks can meet demanding construction schedules while delivering cost and carbon savings. By choosing a sustainable option for their site setup, Overbury cut both their environmental footprint and procurement costs without compromising on quality or timing.


This direct approach to site furniture proves that making sustainable choices doesn't mean sacrificing practicality. Working with Coggin SOS, Overbury got exactly what they needed, when they needed it - while keeping both costs and carbon down. For construction professionals looking to optimise their site setup costs, it's a blueprint worth following.
