Public Area & Outdoor Furniture procurement guide
Public area furniture covers seating and tables for lobbies, dining and outdoor areas, specified for the traffic and exposure of each space. Furniture procurement should start with a room or workstation schedule, user needs, dimensions and installation constraints rather than a single reference image.
Space, users and furniture schedule
The listed applications are Lobby and lounge areas, Restaurant and bar seating, Conference and banqueting and Pool and outdoor terraces. Provide plans or measured spaces, user numbers, circulation, storage and accessibility needs, and identify fixed, loose or modular items.
Dimensions, materials and finish approval
Compare proposals against Areas, layouts and seat counts, Indoor or outdoor exposure, Material, upholstery and finish requirements, Stacking and storage requirements and Delivery and installation phasing. Agree material, finish, colour and hardware samples, dimensional tolerances, load or durability requirements where specified, and the approval process before production.
Delivery, assembly and handover
Confirm item-by-item quantities, knock-down or assembled delivery, protective packing, access and lift limits, floor/room sequence, on-site assembly, fixing, snagging, spare hardware and handover.
