Trading & procurement.

Buying is where a complex interior is quietly won or lost. We source, sample, buy and ship against the frozen specification — one accountable line from maker to installed finish.

Materials and procurement studio with labelled stone, timber and metal samples laid out against technical schedules

01

Sourcing & sampling

Every specified material is traced to a mill, quarry or maker before it is bought. Samples are presented as controlled sets, signed off once, then locked to the frozen specification.

  • Stone, timber, veneer and metal sourcing
  • Sample boards and control samples
  • Equal-and-approved alternates with cost and lead-time impact
  • Finish libraries retained for maintenance and future phases

02

FF&E & OS&E procurement

Loose furniture, lighting, sanitaryware and operating supplies bought as one package, so the room delivered matches the room designed — down to the last accessory.

  • Package-by-package buying schedules
  • Prototype rooms signed off before bulk release
  • Operator standards and brand compliance
  • Warranty, spares and attic stock

03

Vendor control

We pre-qualify, audit and hold the vendors we buy from. Where a supplier cannot hold tolerance or programme, the work moves into our own workshops rather than into a claim.

  • Pre-qualification and factory audits
  • Inspection and test plans at source
  • Progress and payment milestones tied to production
  • Escalation route into in-house manufacturing

04

Logistics & landed cost

Consolidation, documentation and sequencing so material lands in the order the site can install it, at a landed cost agreed at freeze — not discovered at the port.

  • Consolidated shipments sequenced to the install programme
  • Customs, certification and country-of-origin documentation
  • Bonded and site-adjacent storage
  • Damage, replacement and re-order protocol
