01Where the Money Is in a Room Programme
A room programme's cost concentrates in a few pieces: the bed composition, the casegoods run (bedside tables, TV cabinet, desk and wardrobe wall where it is part of the furniture package), and the seating. The catalogue's structure maps to that concentration — ten bed lines, four composed sets that bundle the casegoods into a priced room, sofas and the small pieces around them. Wholesale pricing work happens on those lines: composition choices, finish levels and construction options, repriced per room and multiplied.
Budget control, the group's named service, is the wholesale buyer's main tool. When a programme prices over target, the substitution happens at line level and in the open: a set composition simplified, a finish stepped down, a public-area list trimmed. Each change is named on the schedule with its saving, so the design intent survives where it matters and the cut lands where it shows least.
02Volume Without Drift
The wholesale risk is not the first room; it is room 280. Finish batches, board supply and hardware lots all drift over a long production run unless the approved composition is recorded and checked against. Two habits protect a programme: sign off the composition and finish physically, and receive against the schedule — room type by room type — rather than against a lump total. Both habits are cheap. Both are skipped constantly. The blog's cost guide (what drives custom hotel furniture cost) walks the nine factors that move a programme's price before a quote is even requested, so you can see where your own programme's money sits.
QBuyer Questions
Can furniture be quoted per room programme?
Yes — send the room count and the mix of room types. The schedule prices the furniture as a room programme: sets and casegoods per room type, multiplied out, with public-area pieces listed separately. Changes to the programme reprice the affected room types only.
What exactly is in a hotel furniture set?
The catalogue's set lines are drawn as complete guest rooms — bed, bedside tables, TV cabinet, tea table and seating as one composition (four set lines, including resort and apartment-hotel compositions). Ask for the composition list of the set you are quoted, item by item, before approval.
Can finishes match our interior designer's palette?
Finish matching starts from physical samples. Send the palette or the board finishes used elsewhere in the project; the team confirms which catalogue finishes and constructions can meet it, and where they cannot, says so on the schedule rather than approximating silently.
Is the furniture priced with the rest of the project?
It can be. Hotel furniture, flooring, vanities and sanitary ware for the same property are normally quoted in one materials schedule — see the FF&E procurement page for how the package is structured.
Working on a project materials list?
Send the BOQ, drawings or room schedule. The team replies with a materials schedule, per-item quotation and the certificates available for the items on your list.
