How the procurement runs

  1. 01

    Scope and documents

    Review of the FF&E schedule, BOQ, drawings and specifications, and agreement on what is in scope: supply only, supply and install, or full procurement management.

  2. 02

    Sourcing and bid comparison

    Specified items are priced as drawn; where an alternative is needed, like-for-like options are presented side by side for the designer to approve. No substitutions without written approval.

  3. 03

    Submittals and samples

    Shop drawings, finish samples and material data are issued for approval and every decision is logged, so the approval trail is clear for the owner, operator and designer.

  4. 04

    Production and QC

    Production is tracked against the programme, with inspections before shipment against the approved samples and specifications.

  5. 05

    Logistics and customs

    Packing, consolidation, freight, customs documentation and delivery are sequenced floor by floor to match site readiness.

  6. 06

    Installation and handover

    Placement, snagging, warranties and as-supplied documentation are handed over so the operator can open on time.
