WHAT IT CAN INCLUDE

01

Supplier search

Manufacturers, distributors and dealers who carry the material, in your region and neighbouring ones, checked for capacity and delivery to your site.

02

Quotes requested and chased

Requests for quotation sent with the right specification and quantities, followed up until each supplier answers, and their questions handled.

03

Spec compliance check

Every quote checked against the specification, approved makes and test certificates, with deviations flagged before price is compared.

04

Comparison and negotiation

Compliant quotes side by side on landed cost — price, freight, taxes, lead time and payment terms — with a recommended option and negotiated final offers for you to approve.

QUESTIONS06

Questions about procurement desk

Send a project

The BOQ or material list, the specification and any approved makes, the quantities, the site location and when you need the material.

Yes. Quotes for the main materials before you price mean your estimate rests on today's prices, so you know whether the job makes money before you commit.

Our agents do it end to end: they find the suppliers, send the requests, chase every reply, check each quote against the specification and handle the back and forth. You approve the final choice.

No. You approve the supplier and place the order. We prepare the order details from the agreed offer and chase the confirmation.

Anything in the BOQ that is bought rather than made on site: steel, cement and ready-mix concrete, pipes and fittings, precast items, and electrical and mechanical equipment.

A fixed fee per material list, or a monthly fee while you're buying for a project. We quote within a working day of seeing the list.
