FF&E

Coordination.

Mockups

First room.

Opening date

Fixed.

A closer look

A guest room mockup resolves details once, before they repeat hundreds of times. Brand inspectors often approve the mockup before production.

Where to start

Build a mockup room early and get brand approval.

An example

A GC fixed a bathroom detail in the mockup that would have repeated in 150 rooms.

Common mistakes

Skipping mockups, poor FF&E coordination and late punch.

What to track

Track rooms completed and punch items.

Questions to ask

Is the mockup approved? Who coordinates FF&E? What is the opening date?

Who owns it

The PM coordinates with the owner and brand; the superintendent drives room production.

Pricing and risk

Small errors multiply across hundreds of rooms. Include time for mockups and brand reviews, and price punch work realistically for brand standards.
