A Simple Guide to Greenery for Procurement Teams
For procurement and project teams, greenery often represents a small line item in the overall project cost — yet it frequently becomes one of the most operationally sensitive elements during project delivery.
From plant failure post-handover to mismatched finishes, delayed installations, and unclear warranties, indoor landscaping can quietly create pressure at the final stages of a project if not managed properly. At Plantscapes, we work closely with procurement teams, project managers, and fit-out contractors across the UAE to ensure indoor greenery is specified, installed, and maintained with the same discipline as any other critical project component.
Below is a simple breakdown of the top challenges procurement teams face — and how we solve them.
1. “We need clear pricing — not surprises.”
Variations in plant quality, planter finishes, and scope exclusions often lead to unexpected cost additions during execution.
How Plantscape helps:
- Standardized planters and plant lists
- Transparent costing (no hidden add-ons)
- Value-engineered options when budgets are tight
2. “Our timelines are always tight.”
Greenery is usually required at the end of a project — when deadlines are the most intense.
How Plantscape helps:
- Dedicated project coordinators
- Fast-track installation teams
- Off-site preparation to minimize on-site disruption
3. “Finishes must match the design exactly.”
Procurement teams must supply planters and greenery that work seamlessly with interior materials.
How Plantscape helps:
- Custom colors & textured finishes of planters
- Species selection suited to real site conditions
- Uniform standards across all locations
4. “The plants need to last — not decline after handover.”
Short-lived plants and poor maintenance reflect poorly on procurement.
How Plantscape helps:
- Correct plant species for AC-heavy interiors
- Lifecycle-focused design
- Scheduled AMC maintenance
- Rapid plant replacement when required
