Initial Budgeting

For early stage budgeting, please use the following guidelines:

• Working from the site plan, determine the areas that will require new furniture. 
• Categorize those areas into three sizes/groups (A, B or C) as shown below.

 

A = Typical Small Grouping (1-7 pieces)
B = Typical Medium Grouping (8-15 pieces)
C = Typical Large Grouping (16+ pieces)

 

• Typical costs for each grouping (based on past Simon purchases) have been determined and are shown below. Calculating using this exercize and the amounts below will give you an initial budget, including estimated freight, installation and tax.

A = $15,000
B = $30,000
C = $40,000

Example, using sample key plan above:=

A Grouping – Qty: 3 – (3 x $15,000)  =   $45,000

B Grouping – Qty: 2 – (2 x $30,000)  =    $60,000

C Grouping – Qty: 4 – (4 x $40,000) =   $160,000

                             Total Initial Budget:   $265,000
