Design
At Villa, we don't just take your order. We use our national account experience to provide value-added services, such as lighting design and energy audits.
Lighting Design Services
When meeting your needs means planning and designing the best lighting for your retail locations, let our experience work for you. Your account coordinator - along with other Villa staff members - can work with your architects, engineers, interior designers, contractors and in-house facilities staff. After discussing your lighting needs, goals and budget, our professionals can create a comprehensive lighting layout that specifies the appropriate lighting products.
When you work with Villa, you work with experts. Our staff members attend continuing education courses given by the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) and leading lighting manufacturers.
For your convenience, we have AutoCAD. And our internet connections mean you can e-mail drawings to us and save time and the cost of shipping and reprints.

Consider these hidden costs
Energy and maintenance costs, delivery costs, freight damage, job delays, handling costs, processing costs, and miscellaneous costs. Then consider how Villa works with you to control them.
Because we maintain a dedicated inventory for every national account, we're able to make one complete shipment per order. This means we ship what you need when you need it, there are no additional handling charges for multiple shipments, and you'll receive one invoice for the complete bill of material you ordered.
Our large centrally located distribution center ensures competitive freight rates throughout the country. And due to the special care we take in packaging orders, freight damage is kept to a minimum.
We can recommend energy-efficient lighting systems and energy management systems that maximize lighting effectiveness and minimize energy expenses, as well as systems that are easy and affordable to maintain.
