What Each Service Includes

Technical Drawing Review

We analyze your shop drawings for wind load implications, thermal compatibility, material conflicts, and code compliance. Our review identifies potential constructability issues before they become site problems.

  • Wind load and structural adequacy check
  • Thermal performance and condensation risk assessment
  • Material compatibility verification (sealants, metals, coatings)
  • Local code compliance mapping (ASTM/EN/GB/AS standards)

Prescriptive Sourcing

We don't just match keywords—we match performance requirements to the right factory formula. Every spec parameter (alloy temper, coating chemistry, test methods) is verified against your actual design loads.

  • Performance-based material matching (not brand-based)
  • Factory capability audit (equipment, certifications, track record)
  • Alternative spec proposals for cost optimization
  • Sample coordination and client approval management

Lab-Level QA/QC

Our on-site inspections use calibrated instruments (coating thickness gauges, hardness testers, dimensional calipers) to verify compliance before shipment. We reject non-conforming materials at the factory, not at your site.

  • Coating thickness verification (ASTM D7091)
  • Alloy composition spot-check (XRF analyzer)
  • Dimensional tolerance inspection (±2mm typical)
  • Surface defect audit (scratches, dents, color uniformity)

Single-Point Consolidation

Facade projects often require materials from 3-5 specialized factories (glass, aluminum, stone, sealants). We consolidate into one shipment, saving you freight costs and reducing coordination complexity.

  • Multi-factory pickup and staging at consolidation warehouse
  • Optimized container loading plan (maximize cube utilization)
  • Protective packaging and damage prevention measures
  • Single commercial invoice and bill of lading for customs clearance

Common Questions

How do you charge for the core sourcing service?

We offer two pricing models: (1) Fixed project fee for known scope, or (2) 5-12% commission on material cost. Commission rate decreases with project size. We discuss pricing after the free technical review when scope is clear.

What if I already have a factory contact?

We can work with your existing supplier. Our value-add is technical verification (ensuring the spec matches your design loads) and QC (catching defects before shipment). Many clients use us to audit their existing supply chain.

Do you handle payment to factories?

We can facilitate payment as your agent (via T/T or L/C), or you can pay the factory directly. If we handle payment, we provide full transparency with factory invoices, payment confirmations, and shipping documents.
