Healthcare Furniture Fittings and Equipment (FF&E) Consultancy

Hospitech, established in 1978, is a recognised leader in Furniture Fittings and Equipment (FF&E) consultancy. We provide specialised equipment advisory services, including asset inventory audits, condition appraisals, and risk- and utilisation-based capital equipment planning. Our expertise extends to emerging technology assessment, technical specification development, clinical stakeholder engagement, equipment room layout reviews, and best-practice procurement frameworks. We also manage equipment commissioning, post-occupancy defect liability, and total asset life-cycle reviews.

Additionally, we offer proven programs for service contract negotiation, asset replacement planning, and projections aligned with clinical service requirements and the Australian Health Facility Guidelines.

Hospitech offers extensive subject matter expertise in developing FF&E master list and budget planning based on project Schedule of Accommodation, Clinical Services Plan and Functional Design Brief.

Hospitech specialises in translating high level clinical requirements into detailed technical specifications. Key to most projects is the ability to fit out a facility with a restricted budget and Hospitech is able to provide a budget buffer by assessing existing equipment for suitability to transfer and continue using. The reuse list of equipment is determined following a detailed physical audit, life expectancy and risk assessment, while ensuring business continuity. For items that will become redundant after completion of the project, Hospitech provides disposal options, which translate into cost recovery or otherwise environmental friendly recycling.
