Questions buyers usually ask
Why work with an Indigenous-owned furniture partner?
IHS is CCIB-certified, Indigenous-owned and based in Six Nations of the Grand River. Working with us keeps procurement dollars in the Indigenous economy and supports your economic-development priorities. For public-sector partners, our Indigenous procurement guide explains how purchases are counted.
Can IHS work with our council procurement protocols?
Yes. We provide transparent budgets, documented change control and itemized invoicing, and adapt our deliverables to the formats and approval steps your governance requires.
How do you handle cultural elements in design?
We listen first. The functional program is shaped by what your community tells us matters — gathering spaces, Elder accessibility, language signage and any cultural design priorities.
Does spending with IHS count as Indigenous procurement?
Yes. IHS is a certified Indigenous business, so the full amount you spend with us is reportable Indigenous procurement spend.
Can we order furniture online?
Yes. Shop online and pay by card, or send your cart as a quote request if you need a formal quote. Organizations with an approved purchase order account can also order on account.
What does a typical timeline look like?
It depends on scope. Every project starts with a fixed scope and milestones sequenced around your operational and ceremonial calendar.
