FF&E Movers in Olympia, WA

In construction, FF&E is the furniture, fixtures, and equipment installed after the building is built. Designing Buildings explains that FF&E is often purchased separately from the main construction contract, so its installation must fit into the build plan. That is why timing matters on any FF&E construction project. If furniture arrives before the site is ready, it needs somewhere safe to wait, and our warehouse fills that gap.

A regular office move takes your items from one place to another. FF&E moving follows your project schedule, from the first delivery to placing the last piece. At A&E, we receive your shipments, inspect each item, and store them in our warehouse. When your space is ready, we deliver, place, and assemble the pieces, then haul away the packing. We also photograph each item when it arrives, so there is a record of its condition.

FF&E installation services cover everything after your items arrive: receiving, checking, storing, delivering, and setting up. At A&E, our crews inspect each piece, deliver it when your space is ready, assemble furniture, place it where you want it, and clear away the packing. For work that requires licensed trades, such as wiring or built-in cabinets, your contractor handles it. We work alongside them so everything lands on schedule.

Yes. A&E delivers and installs office furniture for businesses in Olympia and Lacey. Our crews work as office furniture installers and commercial furniture installers. They bring your pieces to the site, assemble them, set them in place, and haul away the packing. We can schedule nights and weekends, and we talk with building managers ahead of time about elevators, loading docks, and access. Send us your floor plan and FF&E list, and we will build the plan around them.

It depends on your project size, hours worked, how long items are stored, and whether you need setup.

Yes. Our 98,000-square-foot warehouse in Lacey can hold your items for a few days or for months. We store pieces in locked vaults or on racks, depending on size, and monitor the warehouse 24/7. We keep a full inventory on file, so you can request delivery or check on an item anytime.

We tell you right away. If we find damage when an item arrives, we photograph it and call you so you can decide whether to deliver, repair, or return it. For damage during a move, A&E offers three coverage options. Limited Liability Coverage costs nothing extra and pays $0.72 per pound per item, no matter what the item is worth. 

Full Value Protection costs more, and under it, the FMCSA says your mover is responsible for the replacement value of lost or damaged goods in the shipment. An Extraordinary Value Declaration covers items worth $100 per pound or more. We are fully licensed and insured for bodily injury and property damage, cargo, bond, and workers’ compensation.
