Quotes & Specifications

FF&E specification software built for commercial interior teams.

Create and manage FF&E specifications, build quotes from reusable structures, update costing and pricing, generate specification books and reports, and carry approved product information directly into purchasing without rebuilding the work downstream.

Build the information once. Keep using it through the project.

The specification problem

Specifications become expensive when every change creates another copy.

FF&E specifications often begin in spreadsheets, shared files, PDFs, email threads, or separate design systems. As pricing, finishes, dimensions, vendors, and product details change, teams spend time updating multiple versions and checking which information is current. Purlieu keeps specification and quote information connected to the project record so changes can move forward without rebuilding the same data in multiple places.

Product information repeated across files

Pricing updates applied manually

Specification revisions living in different versions

Approved information re-entered when purchasing begins

FF&E specification management

Manage product information once and use it everywhere it belongs.

Purlieu gives teams a structured place to maintain FF&E product and specification information and use it across active quotes and projects.

  • Custom specification templates by product category
  • Master specifications and reusable product information
  • Bulk specification updates
  • Product costs and pricing information connected to specifications
  • Vendor and manufacturer information kept with the product
  • Specification changes carried into connected project records where applicable

Quoting & pricing

Turn reusable project knowledge into faster, more consistent quotes.

Quote templates give teams a proven starting point instead of rebuilding every project from a blank file. Products, structure, costing, and pricing rules can be reused and adjusted for the project in front of you.

  • Quote templates pre-populated with products
  • Reusable structures for repeat scopes
  • Costing maintained directly with the quote
  • Pricing templates by product category
  • Bulk cost updates across specifications and quotes where applicable
  • Vendor pricing comparison during estimating
  • Merchandising and margin management

Specification reporting

Turn structured project data into the documents the team needs.

Generate quote and specification documents from the information already maintained in Purlieu instead of recreating the same project data in separate files.

  • Quote reports
  • Specification reports
  • Specification books
  • Product information and supporting documentation
  • Installation reports
  • Configurable report output based on project information

From specification to procurement

Approved information should move into purchasing, not get entered again.

Once a quote is approved, the same product, specification, pricing, vendor, and project information can continue into purchasing and purchase orders. That reduces duplicate entry and helps protect the decisions already made during design and quoting.

Unlike stand-alone FF&E specification software, Purlieu keeps specification data connected to quotes, purchasing, purchase orders, and the project activity that follows.

  1. Specifications
  2. Quote
  3. Approval
  4. Purchasing
  5. Purchase Orders
  6. Delivery

Working from SIF data?

For education workflows using SIF files, Purlieu can import SIF data to create a project quote, allowing product information to continue into costing, reporting, purchasing, and orders without being rebuilt manually.

FAQ

Quotes & specifications questions

FF&E specification software gives commercial interior teams a structured place to maintain furniture, fixtures, and equipment product information, including dimensions, finishes, vendors, costs, and pricing. Purlieu connects those specifications to quotes, reports, and purchasing, so the same information is used throughout the project instead of being copied between files.
