GET, LLC continues our discussion on Furniture, Furnishings
and Equipment or FF&E-this blog focusing on the abilities needed to define
requirements and develop solutions for your end user or building owner.
The American
Institute of Architects (AIA) Handbook of Professional Practice says that to
determine the client’s furniture requirements, the architect or consultant must
fully understand the client’s FF&E budget and then carefully evaluate their
individual work space needs to include spatial constraints and overall equipment
needs. The use of customized survey forms to gather, process, and document this
information is helpful with this part of the process-in fact, many systems
furniture companies have their own sample forms which can be used as a starting
point.
Also, design teams
and consultants should be able to evaluate alternative furniture products and
make appropriate recommendations with respect to the client’s overall furniture
needs. This comes with experience and requires knowledge of available resources
for all types of furniture and furnishings. Research skills are needed to find
alternative products in various price ranges.
There is no question that this task requires a clear understanding of
the costs and benefits of various alternative products, as well as persistence
and creativity.
Companies like ours work hard to understand what you need in
your respective office or building and remain committed to offering the best
solutions for your organization.
