EWT Associates was founded with the specific intention of providing a comprehensive and cost effective procurement solution, primarily for the Hospitality industry. The company’s formation has developed from many years of providing these services.
The company philosophy is to provide a bespoke service in a timely and cost effective manner whilst observing the principles of trust, integrity, respect, transparency and kindness to our clients, associates and colleagues.
The original company is German based Peter Tibken Associates with offices in Europe, and our local office is in Bali – Indonesia, registered as East West Tibken (EWT) Associates, thus enabling us to source the finest products from Asia and around the world at the best prices for our clients.
EWT Associates manages interior projects to ensure that all the resources and materials are used efficiently, effectively and imaginatively. This creative and innovative approach has, in the past, proven to add value.
The entire project, from inception to completion and beyond is co-ordinated for the client. The rationalising of budgets, synchronising of all the other professional teams from concept design to fit-out, inventory management and defining and running the interior programme.
Access to quality products at reasonable prices is the result of many years of co-operation with some of the foremost suppliers of products to the hospitality industry. This degree of access and pricing cannot be achieved by a single unit and substantial cost savings can be achieved via the EWT Associates procurement service.
Due consideration is given to the quality and manufacture of items as they are expected to withstand the rigours of long term use. EWT Associates ensures that appropriate due diligence is carried out on all products, particularly in relation to safety and durability.
EWT Associates is not constrained by administrative and corporate strategy restrictions and is therefore able to focus on providing a flexible solution for the client with a view to forming a long term relationship between the two companies.
The senior management of EWT Associates is personally involved in every project to ensure that the expectations of the client are not only met, but exceeded.
Through EWT Associates’ sourcing and negotiations expertise, clients can be confident that maximum value for money is achieved.
Favourable transport and logistics solutions help to reduce the overall cost.
Budgets are compiled based on client requirements with recommendations given by EWT Associates based on data compiled from past experience and knowledge of the latest products in the marketplace.
The feasibility of the budget is assessed against the design proposals and quantification of all FF&E elements is undertaken to encompass varying room configurations and standards.
A bespoke budgeting and ordering system has been created specifically for hotel related projects which enables all the relevant items to be included according to the specifications of the hotel, i.e. number of rooms, F&B outlets, C&B and Leisure facilities.
A cash flow forecast is produced based on available information and status is reported on a regular basis to the client.
Throughout the project, financial aspects of the project are closely monitored to ensure that expenditure is contained within budgetary limits.
Reports are customised according to the client needs and are provided on a regular basis throughout the project life.
Before completion of a project, EWT Associates will ensure that the following is carried out.
