Fixtures and fittings, or FF & E.




Fixtures and fittings are a part of all buildings. They are mentioned in contracts, health and safety instructions, drawings and specifications, and employer obligations. As an alternative, the phrase FF & E (furniture, fixtures, and equipment) is frequently used.


The word "FF & E" is popular in accounting. FF & E are classified as moveable furniture, fixtures, or other equipment that have no permanent connection to the structure of a building or utilities and are utilized in the valuation, sale, or liquidation of a corporation or building. They are treated separately from buildings since they depreciate differently as assets. Desks, chairs, computers, electronic equipment, tables, bookcases, and dividers are a few examples of FF & E in this situation.


Through legal disputes, typically, the distinction between fixtures and fittings and the law specifically pertaining to them continue to change. We must therefore make every effort to comprehend the meanings of the numerous terminology as well as the proper usage of each. In the construction business, where projects are acquired in ever-more thorough ways and Facilities Management increasingly overlaps with the construction phase, this is particularly crucial.
An item that is installed in or fastened to a building or piece of land in order for it to legally be considered a part of that building or piece of land is referred to as a fixture.

An asset that is both tangible and mobile is referred to as a chattel. If a chattel is secured to a structure or piece of land, it may turn into a fixture. A central heating radiator is a heater before it is put into a building as part of a central heating system, for instance. It becomes a fixture once it is put in place
.


In order to determine whether an asset is a fixture or a chattel, the courts have created two tests:

1.The process and intensity of annexation
2.the goal and intent behind annexation.

Although NBS bases its classification of fixtures, furnishings (fittings), and equipment on CAWS, there is still room for improvement in language. In order to clarify the various terminology, we will do so as follows:

Any object that is intended to be reasonably permanent and attached to the building by plaster, cement, bolts, screws, nuts, or nails is referred to as a fixture.
Any object that is free standing or hung by screws, nails, or hooks is referred to as a fitting or furnishing.
The products that commonly fit into each category are listed below.
