Asset Management across Downtown Berkeley, West Berkeley, and the Fourth Street corridor and the wider East Bay. Downtown Berkeley, West Berkeley, and the university corridor. Research groups, climate startups, and nonprofits. Budgets are real and so are the sustainability requirements. That is our whole pitch.
Berkeley spends other people's money carefully. Grants, endowments, and donor funds all arrive with a reporting obligation attached, and a furniture decision has to survive that scrutiny as well as the budget it came out of.
Most companies have no idea what their furniture is worth. We tag every piece with RESEAT ID and give you a live dashboard: depreciation, warranty status, maintenance history, resale value. So when it's time to refresh, the math is already done.
The crew is already working Downtown Berkeley, West Berkeley, and the Fourth Street corridor, so nobody flies in to survey and sends a stranger to install. 24hr on new briefs. Open line, unfranchised, second life only. Every piece leaves tagged with RESEAT ID and lands on the 12M+ pounds we have already kept out of landfills.
Not positioning. The operational facts that decide how a project here actually runs, written down before you ask.
On the ground in Downtown Berkeley, West Berkeley, the Fourth Street corridor, Gilman, and the university corridor. One crew, one project lead, 24hr on new briefs. Multi-site work across the West runs through the same coordinator rather than a relay of subcontractors.
You cannot plan a refresh against a spreadsheet nobody has updated since the last one. RESEAT ID exists because the furniture outlives the person who bought it, and the specs, warranty status, and resale value should not leave with them.
Older stock, frequently no dock, occasionally no elevator worth the name. Half of West Berkeley is light-industrial conversion where the roll-up door is the loading plan. Site survey before spec, every time.
Whether the next refresh starts from data or from a walk-through with a clipboard. The difference shows up as weeks, not hours.
Berkeley buys value-grade and mid-grade in quantity and cares about condition more than brand. B-grade seating in bulk does better here than a small run of showpiece lounge.
Initial tagging runs alongside an install or a move at no extra labour cost. Retro-tagging an existing floor is a two to five day exercise depending on how many finishes are in play.
Every line of scope, on the proposal. No mystery markup, no surprise charges on install day. Building access, protection, and after-hours labour are inside the number rather than added to it in week three.
Crew already in the East Bay, not dispatched to it. The person who walks the space is on the job the day it ships, which is the difference between a schedule and an estimate.
24hrKnow what you have, what it's worth, when to refresh. One crew handles it end to end, not a vendor chain trading dropped balls and blaming the schedule.
One project leadOakland, San Francisco, and Walnut Creek run out of the same crew and the same RESEAT ID program, through one coordinator who returns calls.
West regionWe don't put a tree icon on a CO₂ stat and call it a day. The same RESEAT ID dashboard tracks impact data project by project, so it lands in the ESG report with the math intact.
We sell furniture for a living, but the way we sell it is the actual product. Six things that show up in every project, and that most dealers won't say out loud.
Every piece is inspected, warrantied, and tagged with RESEAT ID. Most dealers treat second life as a side hustle. It is the only thing we do.
We are not franchised to a manufacturer, so no catalog decides your spec and no quota decides what we recommend. If we cannot solve it second life, we say so and point you somewhere useful. The test is simple: ask a dealer what they are carrying a quota on this quarter.
Furniture as a Service for teams that do not want to own the chair forever. 12, 24, or 36-month terms, refresh built in, and the buy-out and return numbers stated on day one rather than produced at the end. It exists for the budget conversation as much as the furniture one.
Our cut goes on the invoice, not buried in markup. Network dealers keep 30%, RESEAT keeps 70%, and everyone can see the math. It is an unusual thing to publish. It is also the fastest way to end an argument about pricing.
People who already work Downtown Berkeley and West Berkeley and know which buildings need a night crew and which will let you load on a Tuesday. 24hr on new briefs, and the same faces on the second project as on the first.
Asset Management runs end to end with one project lead, one crew, and one invoice. Not a moving company calling a procurement firm calling a decom vendor, each of them certain the delay belongs to somebody else.
The line-by-line, on the proposal. The 70/30 RESEAT/dealer split sits there too, not buried in markup. Including what a asset management quote leaves off when it is trying to look cheaper than it is.
One project lead. One crew. One invoice. Not a moving company calling a procurement firm calling a decom vendor. Lbs tracked 12m+, stated on the first call.
Tag and catalog existing furniture with RESEAT ID.
Specs, photos, and valuations in one place.
Track depreciation, warranties, and maintenance.
Recommend refresh cycles and exit strategies.
These are the questions that come up before a project starts, answered the way we would answer them on a call. 24hr on new Berkeley briefs.
Tell us about the space, the industry, and the deadline. We come back inside 48 hours with a real plan and the math on what saves the most.
