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, Beehive Homes may provide franchisees with specifications for certain items of furniture, fixtures, equipment, supplies, and materials. These specifications may include minimum standards for performance, warranties, design, appearance, and other restrictions.
As a franchisee, you are allowed to purchase items that meet these specifications from any source. Beehive Homes does not maintain a list of approved suppliers or criteria for approving suppliers, so any supplier that meets their specifications is effectively an approved supplier. Franchisees can determine which suppliers meet the specifications without prior approval from Beehive Homes, but Beehive Homes retains the right to review these determinations.
These specifications are provided to franchisees after signing the Franchise Agreement and can be found in the Owner/Operator Training Outline. This means a prospective franchisee will not have access to these specifications until after they have committed to the franchise. It is important for prospective franchisees to understand these specifications before signing the agreement to ensure they can source the required items within their budget and to Beehive Homes' standards.
