ReSpec · by Konduct · Perth

Keep the desks that still work.

When an office is stripped out, sound desks, screens and counters usually go in the skip. We pull the good pieces, show you a new finish on a photo of the real item, then remake the face in Perth.

Concept of recovered commercial desks refinished as a grouped family in an office — not a completed ReSpec job.

How a recovered desktop family can look in an office. Visualisation — not a finished job. Terms

The problem

The furniture is still good. The finish is not. The skip is booked.

A commercial strip-out sends most of the joinery to landfill. New laminate can sit on backorder for months. ReSpec is the missing step: keep the carcass, change the face, use it on the next floor.

What goes in the bin

Desks, privacy screens and reception counters that are square, dry and still structurally sound.

What holds the job up

New board and laminate on a long lead time, while the move-in date does not move.

What we do instead

Recover the usable pieces, show the new finish first, then make them in Perth as specified furniture.

What you actually buy

Three products. Not a tip shop.

You are buying refinished commercial furniture and panels — grouped so they can go on a drawing. Not random leftovers. Not a certified wall lining.

Desks and worktops

The tops you already have, with a new face.

We recover square commercial desktops, cut them to a usable size if needed, and refinish them in a gloss, matt or timber-look group. Use them when new laminate will not arrive in time.

Standard panel concept in a commercial floor.

Standard panels · 2400 × 1200

Sheets you can draw, not one-off scraps.

Recovered board grouped into a panel family, around 2400 × 1200. Sold as joinery and furniture. Not sold as fire-rated wall cladding unless that job is separately tested.

Recovered privacy screens with new fabric.

Screens and kept joinery

New fabric. Same frame. Keep the counter.

Screens get held contract fabric on a sound frame. Reception and tea-bay carcasses stay in place; we specify a new overlay — wallpaper, wet-area face, lacquer, or a recut rug.

How it works

Photo. Preview. Then we make it.

1 · Send

A square-on photo

Desk, screen, counter or panel. Daylight. That is enough to start.

2 · Preview

We show the new finish

A family and an overlay on that piece. If it would not go on a drawing, we say so.

3 · Quote

Recovery + making

Collection is a fee for that labour. Making is quoted after the preview. No auto-price.

4 · Make

Perth workshop

Target two to four weeks when finishes are here. Up to six if fabric is incoming.

What it can look like

Same bones. New face.

These are visualisations of the system, not photographs of completed ReSpec jobs. When we have a real before-and-after, it replaces the hero.

Who it is for

Architects, facilities, and the people already emptying the floor.

Architects

Specify a family and an overlay when new board will miss the date, or the counter has to stay.
