Our role
An owner's agent, never a vendor's.
As your hospitality purchasing agent we hold no financial ties to any manufacturer. Every recommendation is made in your interest alone. Where we see a risk to your schedule or budget, advising you of it is part of the job, not an afterthought.
That independence, paired with our proprietary software, is how we keep international projects on schedule from conception to closeout.
What we do
Nine disciplines, one mandate.
Purchasing
Contract purchasing executed with precision and schedule discipline.
Budgeting
Detailed budgets that lay a strong foundation for the life of the project.
Sourcing
A fully transparent, truly competitive market with no exclusive ties and no kickbacks.
Products
Deep knowledge of fixtures, casegoods, seating, and fabrics, plus value engineering.
Evaluation
Comprehensive, context-rich evaluation as your unbiased agent.
Accounting
Live fund tracking, reconciliation, and cost analytics in real time.
Expediting
Over sixty points of action tracked from quantification to final punch.
Installation
National and global FF&E warehousing, handling, and risk management.
Closeout
Warranties, certifications, and accounting backup, accessible indefinitely.
Selected work
Trusted on landmark properties from Boston to Bangalore.
