Owner-Side FF&E, Procurement & Project Advisor

Protecting the owner's investment from specification to delivery.

Independent Owner-Side FF&E, Procurement & Project Advisor for luxury hospitality, private residences and complex fit-out projects worldwide.

I work with owners, developers and project teams to bring clarity, commercial discipline and execution control to complex FF&E and fit-out assignments.

My work covers tender strategy, procurement, sourcing, value engineering, commercial review, production, logistics, site execution and owner-side project control.

I identify gaps, inconsistencies and project exposure early enough for the client to make informed decisions before committing capital or programme.

Where I Add Value

I am typically engaged when a project needs experienced independent support across procurement, commercial decisions or execution.

01

Independent Owner-Side Control

When the client needs an experienced independent view across project management, design, contractors, procurement and suppliers.

02

Tender & Commercial Clarity

When tender information, quotations, exclusions or assumptions do not yet provide a reliable basis for negotiation or award.

03

Procurement & Strategic Sourcing

When sourcing, RFQs, supplier selection, specialist resources, production or procurement control need to be structured or strengthened.

04

Value Engineering

When the project needs commercially viable alternatives while protecting design intent, quality and delivery requirements.

05

Project Recovery & Risk

When procurement, tendering, production or delivery has become fragmented, delayed or commercially exposed.

06

International & Saudi Procurement

When suppliers, certification, logistics and project teams operate across countries, including projects requiring SASO/SABER coordination for Saudi Arabia.

Materials & Method

Beyond the spreadsheet.

Procurement decisions are also design and execution decisions.

Stone, timber, metalwork, upholstery, lighting, joinery and bespoke furniture affect cost, engineering, production, packaging, logistics, installation, programme and final quality.

My background combines commercial and operational control with practical knowledge of materials, finishes, craftsmanship and interiors.

I understand the difference between something that appears correct in a drawing, specification or BOQ and something that can actually be sourced, manufactured, certified, transported and installed correctly.

This allows me to challenge cost and procurement decisions without losing sight of the design intent.

Confidentiality

Selected credentials available on request.

Due to the confidential nature of luxury hospitality, private residential and complex fit-out assignments, detailed project credentials are not published publicly.

A selected portfolio can be shared directly with owners, developers, project directors, designers and other relevant project stakeholders.

Request Credentials

Credentials are shared selectively and may be adapted according to the relevance of the enquiry.

Working Principles

Independent. Structured. Direct.

My role is not to add another reporting layer. I review information across the project, identify what requires attention and translate technical, commercial and operational issues into clear decisions.

  • Direct access to relevant stakeholders
  • Independent review of project information
  • Early identification of commercial and procurement risk
  • Clear visibility on cost, programme, quality and design implications
  • Concise executive reporting
  • Clear recommendations, not just status reporting.
Location

Based in Barcelona. Working internationally.

I support international assignments where design, procurement, manufacturing and delivery span different markets. My work combines remote project control, international sourcing and targeted site presence according to the needs of the assignment.

Discuss the project.

If you are planning, tendering, procuring or recovering a complex FF&E or fit-out assignment, I can review where the project stands and determine where independent support would add the most value.
