Project Overview

Project ff&e were appointed by Ogilvie to design, supply and install fitted kitchen and bedroom furniture across 156 studio apartments. In addition to the fitted elements, our scope included the design and installation of bespoke joinery to the amenity spaces, alongside a comprehensive loose furniture package. This covered mattresses, chairs, bar stools, sofas, televisions, tables and bar furniture, delivering a fully furnished, turnkey solution across both the studios and shared spaces.

Operations & Delivery

On-site works commenced in February 2025, with the fitted furniture installation, including bespoke amenity joinery completed in September 2025. The installation of loose furniture followed and was finalised in November 2025. While the original programme targeted an installation rate of 25 rooms per week, the team remained flexible, successfully adapting to variations in pace in response to site requirements.

The project was managed by a dedicated on-site team, led by a single Site Manager from start to finish, supported by two labourers and an average of three skilled fitters. Monthly health and safety audits were carried out by an external H&S auditor, with exemplary results recorded throughout the programme.

Impact & Sustainability

Local labour was utilised throughout the delivery of the scheme, supporting the regional workforce and contributing positively to the local economy. The project is FSC certified, ensuring that all timber products supplied met responsible sourcing standards and reinforcing our commitment to sustainable, environmentally conscious delivery.
