Slash hospitality fit-out costs without compromising quality and brand standards
We benchmark every line of your specification against the full UK market and return costed, brand-compliant alternatives within days.

Your budget is under pressure.
Your brand standards are not negotiable.
Hospitality projects leave little room to reduce costs once specifications are approved. Yet thousands of pounds per key are often hidden in supplier pricing and overlooked alternatives.
Brand standards restrict
your options
Hotel operators expect consistency across every room, public space and guest touchpoint. Cost savings that compromise the brand standards simply aren’t acceptable.
Rising material costs erode project margins
FF&E prices shift between specification and procurement. Without active value engineering, cost inflation compounds quietly, often discovered too late to protect the budget.
Opening dates don't move
Traditional value engineering often happens too late. If evaluating alternatives delays procurement, the programme risk outweighs the potential saving opportunities.
Cut finishes and FF&E costs without changing the guest experience
VE+ benchmarks your specification against the wider market and delivers compliant alternatives that align with your brand
Brand compliant alternatives
Every recommendation is reviewed against the original specification and operator requirements.
No downgrades. No compromises to design intent.
Broader supplier visibility
We benchmark against a wider market than any procurement exercise can realistically review, often uncovering options that never reach your team’s attention.
Fast enough to keep your project moving
Recommendations land in days, not weeks. Your team gets findings while decisions are still open, without slowing your procurement timeline.

How Karrada Developments
cut £24k from FF&E without without reopening the design.
When Karrada Developments was asked to review costs on the Central Park Hotel project, procurement was already underway and time was limited. VE+ stepped in to assess two key specifications, surveying 50+ suppliers and benchmarking hundreds of available options.
VE+ quickly identified compliant alternatives, cutting over 20% in costs without compromising on spec. The process saved us both time and money, turning what’s usually a stressful exercise into a smooth one.
