Hotel Contract: what is meant

The hotel contract is a service that in recent years it is enjoying wide diffusion on the Italian market. But what is it exactly? What does this service consist of? Let's try to understand it better together later.

Hotel Contract: what it is

Contract furniture consists of the order with which a contract company supplies not only the furniture but also takes care of the design of the various spaces based on the customer's needs. Therefore, as already mentioned, it is about a complete service which calls into question various figures. First of all, this process requires the client to entrust a specific order to a contractor. In turn, the general contractor undertakes to establish a date by which to carry out a specific work, according to the contractual methods.

The figure of the general contractor, therefore, turns out to be fundamental. In fact, it is entrusted with the role of coordinating the order, as well as communicating with the suppliers and the architecture firm. Furthermore, the general contractor also has the responsibility related to the delivery of the project.

A further important figure is that of the interior contractor, which is specifically dedicated to furnishing the project. The ways in which it acts are different: it can take care of every single design phase or it can rely on sub-suppliers. In any case, this figure is also responsible for taking care of, for example, the laying of floors, the creation of false ceilings or walls, coverings, decorative lighting and even paintings. All this always following the needs and tastes of the customer.

Why is the contract important?

The retail channel has always been the main way for selling the products of Italian companies. Conversely, Contract furnishings imply a substantial paradigm shift, based on the offer of “turnkey projects”. La sua diffusione negli ultimi anni è giustificata dalla possibilità delle aziende di diversificare il business e di accedere a nuovi mercati, anche esteri. Tali vantaggi sono particolarmente visibili per le imprese italiane, poiché il made in Italy è da sempre noto nel resto del mondo per la sua attrattività e non è un caso che sempre più committenti di altri paesi si mettano in contatto con aziende italiane per la costruzioni di grandi alberghi o grandi centri commerciali, ma non solo. Infatti, tra i clienti più comuni di questi troviamo anche proprietari di ristoranti, pub, bar, musei, università e B&B.

Contract furniture: an opportunity also for small businesses

Contrary to what one might think, the contract furnishing process does not exclusively concern large companies. Indeed, small and medium-sized Italian businesses represent the vast majority of those operating in the sector, in line with the productive nature of our country, which is mainly made up of medium-sized and small businesses.

Conclusions

Contract furnishing is therefore a service that allows not only the creation of custom-made furniture and furnishings, but which is based on in-depth studies of the interior spaces to achieve the best possible result. It is therefore a complete service, which starts from the initial design to the final finishing touches. In addition to guaranteeing great versatility and quick turnaround times, the formula is also very convenient from a cost point of view.
