Why Add Procurement Services with TID Studio?
(And How It’s Different from Our Purchasing Assistance)
If you’ve ever renovated or furnished a home, you already know: choosing beautiful pieces is the fun part… but actually ordering them, tracking them, scheduling deliveries, chasing suppliers, and managing what arrives on site?
That’s the part that can turn your serene, neutral-toned Pinterest dream into a mild logistical meltdown.
This is why TID Studio offers two levels of support:
Purchasing Assistance and Full Procurement Services.
And while they sound similar, they’re very different in what they do — and how much stress they save you.
Let’s break it down in the simplest, most real-life way possible.
What is Purchasing Assistance?
Purchasing Assistance is perfect if you want help placing orders for the items we’ve selected for your project — but your home isn’t overly complex, and you’re happy to handle the onsite side of things yourself.
It includes:
✔️ Assistance with placing orders for loose furniture, lighting, rugs, décor, and styling items
✔️ Access to designer trade pricing (yes, the fun part)
✔️ A more streamlined purchasing process
✔️ Delivery coordination directly with you and the supplier
✔️ No site attendance from our team
Think of this service as:
“We’ll get everything ordered correctly and beautifully — you just need to be home when it arrives and handle any on-site decisions.”
It's simple, helpful, and ideal for smaller homes, one-room projects, or clients who enjoy being hands-on.
What is Full Procurement Services?
Now this is where the magic (and the stress relief) really kicks in.
Full Procurement Services is designed for busy clients, full-home projects, new builds, and anyone who wants zero chaos, zero guesswork, and zero “Wait… what is this box and where does it go?” moments.
It includes everything in Purchasing Assistance plus:
✔️ Comprehensive order management for all specified items
✔️ On-site coordination with builders and trades
✔️ Inspection check-ins when deliveries arrive
✔️ Managing any issues such as damages, wrong items, backorders
✔️ Ensuring every piece arrives when it should — in the right condition — and gets where it needs to go
✔️ A fully coordinated, low-stress process from order to installation
In other words:
We handle the design, the ordering, the tracking, the liaising, the deliveries, the problem-solving, and the site coordination — you just walk into a beautifully finished home.
If Purchasing Assistance is a “supportive friend,”
Procurement is a full project concierge.
Why Add Procurement?
1. Because Renovations Already Have Enough Moving Parts
When you’re juggling trades, timelines, and inspections you don’t need “Where is that armchair?” added to your life.
Procurement removes that completely.
2. Because Mistakes Can Be Expensive
One misplaced order, one incorrect size, or one delivery that arrives too early can throw off the entire build sequence.
Our procurement service ensures:
Items are ordered on time - yes lead times can be crazy
Items arrive when they should according to construction timeline
They match the specifications perfectly
Any issues are solved before you even notice them
3. Because Great Design Deserves Great Execution
A stunning concept means nothing if the wrong items show up, or the right items show up at the wrong time, or something was not ordered on time and now because of the lead times - either there will be a delay on site or you will have to substitute our curated selections with whatever is available in stock.
With procurement, the execution matches the vision — flawlessly.
4. Because Every Home Is a Puzzle
And procurement ensures every piece of that puzzle arrives exactly when it’s needed, and lands in the right place without disrupting the rest of the build.
So… Which One Do You Choose?
Here’s the quick cheat sheet:
Choose Purchasing Assistance if:
Your project is small to medium
