How We Work

Execution Is a Process,

Not a Promise

Anyone can promise delivery. Holding it together is the hard part. This is how a project moves from the first meeting to opening day, and where Art Decor takes responsibility at every step.

Phase I

Sourcing & Procurement

Specification alignment, manufacturer selection, global sourcing, sample approvals, and purchase order management.

01

Discovery & Client Meeting

The engagement starts with a thorough understanding of the project, the brand standard, the timeline, and the team involved.

02

Project Analysis & Design Review

The design package and specifications are studied in detail to understand exactly what the interior calls for.

03

Scope Definition

Precisely which FF&E and adjacent scopes Art Decor will own are defined, so nothing falls between parties.

04

Agreement

Scope, terms, and responsibilities are aligned before any procurement begins.

05

Budget Development & BOQ

A detailed bill of quantities and cost plan is built, tied directly to the specification.

Sourcing Network

Sourced From Origin,

By Capability

Sourcing here is intentional. Instead of a fixed supplier list, manufacturers are chosen for the specific material, quality, and lead-time each project needs. A single hotel might draw furniture, casegoods, and textiles from several continents at once, each piece matched to the maker best suited to it. With direct experience across 700 manufacturers and access to more than 4,000 worldwide, the network is wide enough to place every item where it is made best.

Phase II

Production & Quality Control

Production tracking, factory inspections, QC sign-off, compliance documentation, and logistics coordination from origin to site.

06

Product Sourcing Strategy

Each item is mapped to the right origin and factory, based on capability, cost, and lead time.

07

Purchase Order Issuance

Orders are placed with selected manufacturers against approved specifications.

08

Submittals & Sample Approvals

Submittals and samples are prepared for the operator and design team to approve before production begins.

09

Production & Quality Control

Manufacturing is monitored and quality inspected at the factory, catching issues at the source.

10

Pre-Delivery Inspection

Every package is checked against the specification before it ships, while problems are still fixable.

Phase III

Delivery & Handover

Phased delivery to site, on-site coordination and installation, snagging, and final handover to the operator.

11

Shipping, Logistics & Clearance

Freight, customs, and clearance into the region are managed so items arrive on schedule.

12

Site Coordination

Coordination with the fit-out and MEP teams sequences delivery and installation around site conditions.

13

Installation & Assembly

Every element is installed and assembled on site, to the standard the brand expects.

14

Final Inspection

Finished rooms and spaces are walked in full, with anything not right corrected before sign-off.

15

Handover

Complete, operator-ready spaces are handed over, with support available after opening.

Value Engineering

Built In

From the Start

In Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC, where freight costs, customs complexity, supplier inconsistency, and tight schedules all meet, value engineering is essential, so it is built in from the start. The work goes beyond cheaper alternatives. Real options are brought to the table: a finish that matches the specification but performs better, a supplier who can hold the timeline, a sourcing route that avoids inflated cost or delay. Each option comes with samples, technical data, and timeline forecasts, so the decision rests with the client, with full information and without compromising the brand or design.
