Custom Furniture Workshop
Run a 40-person furniture workshop making pieces to order for homeowners, interior designers and boutique hotels. Price commissions, keep the makers busy and choose which customers to build the business around.
Your workshop builds solid-wood tables, cabinets and upholstered pieces to order. Homeowners find you through the showroom and Instagram, interior designers bring repeat projects with tight specifications, and boutique hotels can order three hundred headboards at once if you can deliver on time. The team decides what to charge each kind of customer, how many makers, finishers and project managers to employ when skilled craftspeople take a year to train, whether to bid for the big hotel fit-outs that fill the shop for months, and how to compete with flat-pack and imported furniture at a fraction of the price. It teaches managers how a craft business prices skill and lead time, why customer mix matters as much as volume, and how a team protects quality when the order book suddenly doubles.
