Over the past decade, Saudi Arabia has been undergoing a significant transformation, with the ambitious Vision 2030 plan at its forefront. The plan seeks to diversify the country’s economy, reduce its dependence on oil, and increase its non-oil revenue. One of the key pillars of Vision 2030 is the development of mega and giga projects, which are expected to drive the country’s economic growth and create jobs.
As these projects move forward, there is and will be a significant increase in the demand for staff accommodation, which will provide housing for the many workers required to complete these projects. With this increase in demand comes the need to carefully consider the selection of furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) for staff accommodation.
When choosing FF&E for staff accommodation in Saudi Arabia, there are several factors to consider. Firstly, it’s important to keep in mind that the majority of workers will be from different cultural backgrounds, so their needs and preferences will vary. The furniture should be able to cater to their needs and preferences, ensuring their comfort and wellbeing which in turn will increase their productivity at work.
Secondly, the furniture should be durable and able to withstand heavy use, as staff accommodation units will have high occupancy rates. The FF&E must be able to withstand wear and tear and frequent cleaning without losing its functionality or aesthetic appeal.
Thirdly, the furniture should be designed for space optimization. Staff accommodation units tend to be smaller than residential properties, and it is crucial to ensure that the furniture fits in the limited space without compromising on comfort.
Fourthly, there is the question of cost. Bulk purchases of FF&E require vendors who can offer competitive pricing without sacrificing quality or functionality. It is important to look for vendors who specialize in contract grade furniture and have experience with bulk production.
