FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment)

In Plain English

The movable furniture, equipment, and fixtures that an owner purchases and installs in a new building.

Definition

Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment refers to movable assets that are purchased by the owner and installed in a building but are not permanently attached to the structure. FF&E includes items such as desks, chairs, light fixtures, kitchen equipment, signage, and technology hardware. On commercial construction projects, FF&E procurement is typically coordinated separately from the general contract and must be incorporated into the project schedule to align with substantial completion and owner move-in.

Example

The hotel owner's FF&E budget covers 800 guestroom beds, dressers, TVs, and artwork, all of which must arrive and be installed before the soft opening.
