Because there is often a wide range of quality and cost of many of the key F&E products proposed for a scheme, it is essential to produce Product Data Sheets for these items. By this means, the client can understand why specific key products have been chosen over others. It allows a direct comparison with alternative proposals.

Issues relating to the whole life cost such as design and durability of the product are made apparent. There are also other important considerations to spell out. For example, the ergonomic benefits of furniture. The image of that key product is also useful in identifying the proposed item.

The Product Data Sheets also explain the standard options and accessories available. The example below of a two-pupil table indicates the range of height options, colours and finishes of both metalwork and work surface. Competing products can sometimes be more limited.

The client’s description and reference are shown for ease of identification. Reference to areas of intended location is also shown along with Room Data Sheet references.
