FF&E stands for Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment and is used to describe the equipment that has no permanent connection to the structure of a building or its utilities, and items that are not part of the contract between the owner and the building contractor. These items include desks, chairs, lamps and bookcases.
FF&E services are generally provided by an interior designer, building owner, or FF&E provider and are specific to the operations of the business. The services include to the provision of these items, their installation, delivery and storage.
Now that you know what FF&E services are, why do they affect your building project?
Estimating costs
Every building has some element of furniture, fixtures and equipment and it should be considered at the time of a renovation or relocation. The FF&E will impact the overall cost of the project as they can be significant. FF&E is an important part of the design process and hiring a provider who is aware of its role in the business project will help prevent you from underestimating your costs.
Planning timelines
If you're in the process of relocating your business, or renovating the company floor, the last thing you want is extended downtime or to waste the time of your valuable and skilled staff. FF&E services take care of the installation of the business furniture and equipment so you don't have to worry about spending the time doing it yourself.
