What is the typical lead time for a 100-room hotel FF&E package from Turkey?

For a standard 100-room hotel project, our typical lead time is 12-16 weeks from the final approval of shop drawings and the mock-up room. This timeline can be influenced by the complexity of the designs and the procurement of specialized materials, and we provide a detailed project schedule at the outset.

Do you handle logistics and container shipping?

Yes, we manage the entire logistics process. Our service includes professional export packing, container loading, and coordination with international freight forwarders to your specified port (CIF or FOB Incoterms). We handle all Turkish customs documentation to ensure a smooth departure.

What certifications do your materials carry (FSC, CE, fire, acoustic)?

We source materials that meet international standards. Our wood-based panels are available with FSC certification to support sustainability goals, and our hardware often carries CE marking. We ensure all fabrics and foams comply with relevant fire retardancy standards (e.g., BS 5852, CAL 117) as required by the project's jurisdiction.

Can you work with a foreign interior designer's specification?

Absolutely. The core of our business is collaborating with international design firms. We are adept at interpreting detailed specification documents, drawings, and mood boards, and our technical team excels at translating that vision into precise shop drawings for production.

Do you offer mock-up rooms before production starts?

Yes, producing a physical mock-up room is a mandatory step in our process. It serves as the definitive quality standard for the project and allows all stakeholders to assess the craftsmanship, functionality, and finish before we commit to mass production, mitigating risk for our clients.

How do payment terms typically work for international hotel projects?

Our standard payment structure for international projects is designed to align with project milestones. This typically involves an initial deposit to commence shop drawings and material procurement, a second payment upon approval of the mock-up room, and the final balance due before shipping. We are open to discussing terms based on project scale.

Do you provide post-installation aftercare and spares?

We provide a warranty against manufacturing defects for all our products. Additionally, we can supply an agreed-upon quantity of 'attic stock' or spares, such as extra fabric or hardware, as part of the main order. This ensures you can easily manage minor repairs and maintenance long after the project is complete.

What is your production capacity for 200+ room projects?

Our production facility and network are scaled to comfortably handle projects exceeding 200 rooms. We manage production flow by dedicating specific assembly lines to large projects and carefully scheduling outputs to align with your installation timeline, ensuring consistent quality and pace even at high volumes.

Can you supply to projects outside Turkey — EU, GCC, UK?

Yes, the majority of our projects are for international clients, primarily in the EU, GCC, and the UK. Our team is experienced with the export process, international quality standards, and logistical requirements for these markets. We ensure all our products and documentation are prepared for seamless import into your country.

Our structured six-step process ensures clarity, quality control, and timely delivery for every project. This framework is designed for seamless collaboration with international design and procurement teams, providing clear milestones from initial concept to final installation.

1. Briefing & Technical Review

The process begins with a detailed review of your project brief, architectural drawings, and brand standards. Our technical team analyzes the specifications for feasibility, material suitability, and potential value engineering opportunities, establishing a clear project scope and preliminary budget.

2. Shop Drawings & Material Sampling

Our in-house architects create detailed shop drawings for every single FF&E item for your approval. Concurrently, we source and submit physical samples of all specified materials, including wood veneers, fabrics, metal finishes, and stone, ensuring complete alignment on texture, color, and quality.

3. Mock-Up Room Production & Review

Upon approval of drawings and samples, we produce a full-scale mock-up room. This critical step allows your team to physically inspect the quality, functionality, and finish of the furniture before we proceed with mass production. The mock-up serves as the quality benchmark for the entire project.

4. Mass Production & Quality Control

With the mock-up approved, we commence full-scale manufacturing. Our production managers implement rigorous quality control checks at key stages, from raw material processing to final assembly. We provide regular progress reports, including photos and videos from the factory floor, for your remote monitoring.

5. Packaging & Logistics Management

Each item is meticulously packed and labeled for international shipping, with clear room-by-room coding to streamline on-site installation. Our logistics team handles all export documentation and coordinates with freight forwarders to ensure efficient and secure container shipping to your project's destination port.

6. Delivery & Post-Installation Support

We coordinate final delivery to the project site according to your installation schedule. While we are a supply-only firm, we provide comprehensive assembly guides and remain available for post-installation support to address any questions from your on-site team, ensuring a smooth handover.

Leveraging Turkey's Manufacturing Ecosystem

Turkey's hospitality market is mature and highly competitive, particularly in key hubs. While many international buyers encounter directory-style websites that simply list unvetted factories, Kavela provides a curated, expert-led alternative. We offer direct access to top-tier production capabilities without the communication and quality control issues common with intermediaries.
