- Furniture specification - prepare schedules showing items, manufacturers, product codes, colours, fabrics, dimensions and quantities.
- Quotations & procurement - obtain supplier quotes, compare costs, negotiate where appropriate and raise/track purchase orders.
- Supplier management - liaise with furniture manufacturers and dealers to confirm lead times, production, finishes and delivery dates.
- Coordinate with the design team - make sure furniture fits the layouts and design intent, and resolve issues such as dimensions or clashes.
- Coordinate with the construction/project team - ensure furniture delivery and installation works with the wider fit-out programme.
- Track the project - maintain spreadsheets, budgets, order trackers and delivery schedules.
- Quality control - check that what arrives is what was specified and deal with damaged, missing or incorrect items.
- Installation - coordinate installers, delivery access, floor protection, storage and snagging.
- Client communication - provide updates and flag any risks around cost, availability or programme
