For certain items of furniture, fixtures and equipment, and supplies and materials, WE may provide you with specifications which may include minimum standards for performance, warranties, design, appearance and other restrictions. YOU may purchase items which meet specifications from any source. Specifications are provided to YOU after signing the Franchise Agreement and are found in OUR Owner/Operator Training Outline. WE currently do not
maintain a list of approved suppliers and do not maintain criteria for approving suppliers of the items listed in this paragraph. Any supplier which is able to provide these items meeting OUR specifications is, in effect, an approved supplier. YOU may determine which suppliers meet OUR specifications without OUR prior approval. However, any determination by YOU is subject to OUR review.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beehive Homes' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, specifications for certain furniture, fixtures, equipment, supplies, and materials are found in the Owner/Operator Training Outline. These specifications may include minimum standards for performance, warranties, design, and appearance.
Beehive Homes does not maintain a list of approved suppliers or criteria for approving suppliers. Franchisees can purchase items meeting these specifications from any source, effectively making any supplier who meets the standards an approved supplier. However, Beehive Homes retains the right to review the franchisee's supplier determinations.
Prospective franchisees should note that these specifications are provided after signing the Franchise Agreement. This means the franchisee will need to rely on the franchisor's representations about these specifications when deciding whether to invest in a Beehive Homes franchise. It would be prudent to discuss these specifications in detail with the franchisor and current franchisees during the due diligence process to fully understand the requirements and potential costs.
