INDEPENDENT FF&E/OS&E INTELLIGENCE FOR HOTEL INVESTORS

Hotel Investor FF&E/OS&E Budget: The Number Nobody Volunteers Before You Sign

FF&E/OS&E make up 20% of the budget but 80% of the atmosphere.

With FIGURZ, first-time hotel investors can grasp the complexity of the task—and avoid underestimating it.

Seasoned investors—who know the weight of scope gaps and addendum—can size their project properly before signing LOIs or contracts.

Why investors need an independent number before signing

Most investors arrive with a construction budget in mind and no FF&E line at all — few realize FF&E alone represents 12 to 18% of total project cost. Everyone advising you has an incentive to keep the number comfortable, not accurate: the consultant who quotes low looks more attractive on paper, right up until the gap surfaces mid-project — usually in back-of-house, logistics, or OS&E, discovered exactly when it's most expensive to fix.

One consultant quoted an honest €3.2M for a project. A competitor quoted a flattering €2.1M and won the mandate. The hotel was delivered at €3.35M — the honest number, plus overrun. The investor who chose the flattering figure absorbed the difference; the consultant who told the truth simply moved on to the next client.

What Figurz solves for investors

Figurz is a compass before you sign with an operator, an architect, or a bank — the same market data institutional groups use, available for a fraction of what a senior advisory mandate costs. It won't always be exact. It will never be dishonest. You can recalculate and adjust it as the project evolves, all the way to delivery, without paying again — and it flags projects that don't hold up before you're committed too far in to walk away cleanly.

FAQ

Is this only for large institutional investors?

No — Figurz was built as much for a first-time investor on a small property as for a family office sizing a resort. Honest budgeting shouldn't be reserved for those who can afford a senior advisor.
What if my project isn't fully defined yet?

That's exactly when to use it. Figurz isn't a one-time snapshot — start with the parameters you have, and update them as the project develops, through delivery.

Where do the numbers come from?
Figurz's estimates come from continuous, real-world data collection — through our partner network and our free app, updated daily. It's not a fixed price list; it's the market, reflected back to you.

If I pay for a project, can I update it later, or do I have to pay again?
No — your project stays saved in your account. You can go back, adjust the program, and update it as the project evolves, without paying again.
