Coordinating FF&E with Construction

The Overlooked Connection

Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment (FF&E) packages are often managed separately from the construction contract—but in reality, they are deeply intertwined. Late coordination or missed delivery windows can delay occupancy and strain budgets.

Our Approach

We manage FF&E with the same rigor as the construction scope. From the moment selections are made by the design team, we begin tracking lead times, vendor deliverables, and installation dependencies to ensure everything aligns with the construction schedule.

Our responsibilities include:

  • Assisting with FF&E bid preparation and vendor coordination.

  • Monitoring procurement and fabrication timelines to prevent delays.

  • Coordinating delivery and installation schedules with the contractor’s turnover plan.

  • Tracking changes and substitutions to maintain cost alignment and design integrity.

The Result

Proactive FF&E management ensures a seamless handover. The Owner receives a fully furnished, operational space—without the typical scramble at the end of construction.
