I knew that it would have a positive impact on my business
and my professional development. This
past summer, the annual American Institute of Architects Expo exposed me to
many new products, services and importantly best practices in the delivery of
the services GET, LLC provides to our customers.
Pulling a page from my new friends at the
American Institute of Architects, I will begin a series of blog posts that will
focus on an area of service we have been working diligently to break into and
have patiently worked to be a market leader in through our friends in the regional
architecture business-Furniture, Furnishings and Equipment or FF&E.
The AIA, through their Handbook of Professional Practice,
notes that this particular service plays an essential role in the use and
operations of buildings. End users need
to be able to have a clear view or perception and feel about a building and how
to achieve the functional requirements of their respective interior spaces.
FF&E represents a range of products that include among
other things systems furniture, loose furniture, artwork, planters and window
coverings. Custom furniture and custom lighting are also considered
FF&E. Existing furniture in an
interior space that is being considered for refinishing or reupholstering also can
be part of an FF&E package.
So why seek these services?
There are a host of reasons.
Architects and companies like GET, LLC can offer a set of basic services
to include, but not limited to, managing the acquisition of these products and
being that single point of contact for all of their procurement needs.
Primarily, clients seek out FF&E services to furnish new
spaces, to replace or upgrade existing furnishings, to refurbish existing
furniture, to expedite and simplify procurement.
Clients be rest assured that this furniture acquisition
management service is a need that can be filled with professionals like architects
or consultants including GET, LLC. Such relationship is of great value and
creates the lasting business partnership that services both the consultant and
the client.
