FF&E

Purchasing Furniture, Fixture and Equipment (FF&E) is a complex process and much more than simply ordering the designers or architect’s specification: 

 

• Initial specifications must be challenged and optimized by carefully weighing functionality, cost and quality

• Production and development with suppliers require close monitoring

• Especially at the scale of large hospitality projects, a thorough logistical plan is essential for a timely delivery and smooth installation
