Hotel FF&E Services

No detail is too small for our teams, who are experienced in handling everything from artwork to draperies with care. Our technology platform gives enhanced visibility to the entire process, as pictures and a punch list roll up into a detailed status report. The result? Complete chain-of-custody and uncomplicated claims management.

Our care extends beyond the placement of the final mirror. Through green disposition planning, we create recycling, liquidation, and donation plans to help you conclude your project responsibly. And because we have team members with LEED credentials, you can feel confident in our commitment to sustainability.
