Founded in 1991, Alternate Resources is a full service FF&E Purchasing/Procurement and Interior Design firm specializing in the hospitality and contract markets. We are a women owned business whose Principals each bring over 25 years of experience in purchasing, project management and design services. Our understanding of the scope, design intent, budget and schedule of each project serve as our foundation to work efficiently and effectively with all parties to deliver the desired results.
Our design knowledge and experience makes us significantly more qualified purchasing agents because of our in depth understanding of design, production, and aesthetics. We aren’t ones to change out the design intent of the design team as Purchasing Agents often do to positively affect cost, but rather we will maintain the design intent and find a more cost effective way to achieve the results. Our purchasing knowledge makes us better designers because we have a clearer understanding of cost, timing, availability, materials and construction.
Successful projects involve a comprehensive understanding of the client’s needs. We approach each project as a partnership with Owners, Architects, Designers and General Contractors where together we add passion and experience to create the best individualized project possible.
Creative and strategic planning coupled with close communication and detailed follow-through make Alternate Resources an unparalleled project partner. Every project is unique and we are tasked with maximizing our skill set to achieve the best possible project results.
At our core we are problem solvers who seek to build long term relationships with each of our clients and their project team. To deliver exceptional results we are engaged listeners. Every client has their own priorities and every project has unique nuances. Understanding all the issues, addressing the changes as the project moves and coordinating the efforts through the project team enables us to deliver exceptional results every time.
Based on the knowledge that people will be loyal to experiences they love, we work with our clients to create those experiences. We welcome the opportunity to listen and hear more about your project.
