In this Episode we cover the most commonly practiced process for procuring furniture for a commercial Tenant Improvement project. There is a reason why this is the most commonly practiced process, because it just works. I have broken down the process into 12 simple steps:

Step 1: Establish Furniture Intent Early in Design

Step 2: Develop a Complete Furniture Bid Package

Step 3: Conduct an Internal Review for Scope, Budget, and Schedule Coordination

Step 4: Issue the Bid to Prequalified Furniture Dealers

Step 5: Dealer Review and Clarification Period

Step 6: Dealer Pricing and Bid Development

Step 7: Bid Submission

Step 8: Bid Leveling and Comparison

Step 9: Dealer Interviews and Final Clarifications

Step 10: Award and Contract Execution

Step 11: Procurement, Delivery, and Installation

Step 12: Punch, Closeout, and Warranty Documentation
