FFE in construction refers to Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment. This encompasses all movable items not considered part of the building’s structure. Examples include desks, chairs, computer systems, medical equipment in a hospital, restaurant kitchen appliances, and artwork. The selection, procurement, and installation of these items are a significant phase in project completion.
Proper management of these components is vital for the successful operation of a building. It ensures a functional and efficient environment tailored to the intended purpose of the space. Effective oversight minimizes delays, budget overruns, and compatibility issues between various systems and the physical infrastructure. Historically, inconsistencies in managing these elements have resulted in project delays and increased costs, highlighting the need for proactive planning and coordination.
