Companies deploying furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) need a uniform result that conforms to price caps, aligns with brand guidelines, and meets functional or aesthetic requirements. Too often, however, the end build does not match expectations for the space.
Avoid these common pitfalls of FF&E procurement:
- Non-existent, incomplete, or inaccessible standards
- Insufficient documentation or ineffective channels of communication
- Varied interpretation of guidelines within extended teams
- Lack of any mechanism to review and adjust FF&E standards ”before it’s too late”
- Insufficient staffing to document and enforce standards, or to govern the design and build process
- Inconsistent employee and brand experiences that vary from location to location
- Cost overruns as designers or dealers diverge from prescribed vendors and standards
- Inability to achieve sustainability and healthy building goals or other priorities
Our comprehensive solution includes:
- Proven FF&E expertise helping real estate and design teams gather, refine, and document their standards programs
