Too often, furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) decisions are based on a limited perspective, without factoring in value considerations such as total life cycle cost, reconfiguration cost, return on investment, warranty terms, post project pricing, and payment terms, to name a few. In addition, consideration is sometimes not given to the impact these decisions will have on morale, productivity, efficiency and employee health.
