Furniture Procurement Services
Ark & Mason provides professional furniture procurement services for commercial spaces, including restaurants, offices, and exhibition halls. We handle selection, purchasing, delivery, and installation. Whether as a stand-alone service or part of an FF&E package, our process helps you save time, avoid distributor mark-ups, and minimize the risk of receiving defective items.
Avoid Paying Dealer Markups
One of the key advantages you get from our furniture procurement services is cost savings. Our furniture purchases are often 30–50% cheaper than retail. This is possible because we work directly with the manufacturers, giving us unique privileges that we can pass on to you.- Access to professional price lists. Manufacturers and suppliers offer special rates to design and architecture firms. Even distributors typically charge designers 15–25% less than retail buyers. Priority service. Our long-standing relationships with manufacturers allow us to offer you special terms.
- Warehouse access. Sometimes, your space is still under construction, and there’s no place to store the furniture. Often, manufacturers allow furniture to be stored in their warehouses free of charge or for a minimal fee until your space is ready.
What Does Our Furniture Procurement Service Cover?
We can source all categories of furniture and related items required to create a perfect commercial space. You’ll only need to agree on items, and we’ll cover the rest.- Common area furniture, office furniture, and built-in furniture.
- Special furniture, such as durable tables for restaurants and hotels, upholstered furniture with waterproof and easy-care fabrics for hotels, and more.
- Outdoor furniture, including terrace chairs and pool loungers.
- Custom millwork.
- Furniture for inclusive spaces.
What Is the Process of Furniture Procurement Services?
Furniture procurement is a collaborative process that begins with your vision. Here’s how we bring it to life:- Needs and functionality analysis. We determine which furniture will work best in your space based on your design. For example, office furniture is often ergonomic, while hotel furniture needs durable, stain-resistant upholstery.
- Design consultation. We work with you to agree on materials and palettes.
- Finding suppliers, negotiating, and getting samples. We analyse suppliers’ offers and recommend the best ones to you. You can also receive samples of fabrics, wood, and fittings — in short, every detail that will be used in your future furniture.
- Cost estimates. You’ll get transparent estimates with all available discounts.
- Logistics. We deliver furniture from across Canada or abroad, arranging customs clearance and insurance. Upon delivery, every unit is inspected to ensure it meets design and specifications.
- Assembly and installation. Our team assembles all types of furniture, including complex pieces such as built-ins.
- Final inspection. We inspect every chair, shelf, and cupboard to ensure they meet quality standards.
How Much Does the Service Cost?
Furniture costs vary from project to project. However, here are some general guidelines:- Standard projects (offices, residential): 5–10% of construction costs.
- Restaurants and mid-range hotels: 10–15% of construction costs.
- Premium projects (five-star hotels, resorts): 15–25% of construction costs.
