Quick answer
Start from the venue, not the furniture list
For furniture budget allocation, make guest-use priorities + logistics + contingency visible in the plan before quantities or supplier scope are approved.
Details to settle first
- Decision anchor: guest-use priorities + logistics + contingency.
- Mark the furniture budget allocation assumptions directly on the floor plan or quote brief.
- One person — not the whole planning group — should sign off on quantity, access and timing changes.
