Evidence at the right stage

See the details behind your selections

Ask for evidence that relates to the actual product and approved specification. A showroom image helps with style; a sample, drawing or inspection record helps answer a different question.

  • Record the approved material and finish references.
  • Confirm drawing versions and final dimensions.
  • Agree on product-specific checks and photo or video records.
  • Keep packing labels and order references for the handover.

Prepare / A useful first enquiry

Start with the information you already have

You do not need every detail ready for an initial conversation. Tell us your project stage so the team can identify what needs clarification.

For an initial discussion

  • Project type and destination city or port.
  • Rooms and product categories you are considering.
  • Available plans, photos or reference styles.
  • Budget priorities and target arrival date.

For a detailed quotation

  • Product quantities and dimensions.
  • Material, finish and hardware preferences.
  • Drawing and sample approval requirements.
  • Design, inspection and delivery scope to include.

Share drawings and project documents through the private channel agreed with your project contact. An initial budget discussion is not a final order quotation.

Questions / Before you commit

Answers for your sourcing decisions

Practical questions about product scope, design, quotations and delivery. Confirm the terms that apply to your project with the team.

What does your one-stop construction material shop service include?

You can discuss coordinated supply of cabinets, doors, windows, tiles, bathroom products, stone, lighting and furniture, together with design, order follow-up, quality checks and shipment support. The products, deliverables and services included are confirmed for your project. A one-stop order does not automatically include every construction material or local building work.

Can I buy only a few product categories instead of a whole-house package?

Yes, you can start with the categories your project needs. Share the products, approximate quantities and any customization requirements so the team can review suitable options. Minimum quantities and order suitability vary by product; there is no single published minimum that applies to every category.

Can I start before my architectural drawings are complete?

Start with your project location, stage, room list, reference photos and the products you are considering. These help identify the next questions. An initial discussion or budget review is different from a final quotation, which needs confirmed quantities, dimensions, specifications and service scope.

Do I need to travel to China to source my materials?

Discuss remote product selection, photos, samples, drawing reviews and video communication with the team. Confirm which steps can be completed remotely for your order. If you visit Foshan, share your product list and preferred dates in advance so the relevant displays and project discussions can be planned.

Is design support free or included in the product price?

Design arrangements depend on the agreed scope. Confirm the drawings or other deliverables, file formats, revision rounds, fees and any order-credit arrangement before commissioning work. Product supply should not be assumed to include every design service or site measurement.

Who checks measurements and approves drawings?

Agree on who takes and verifies the site measurements and who approves the final product drawings. Share opening dimensions, access restrictions and relevant site conditions with the project team. Your architect or local installer should review the information that affects their work before production is authorized.

How can I compare quotations from different suppliers?

Compare the same product specification, quantity, accessories and delivery scope. Check whether design, samples, inspection, packing, freight, insurance, destination charges and installation are included. Ask for an itemized quotation and written inclusions so a lower headline price is not mistaken for the same scope.

Can different products be consolidated into one shipment?

Consolidation can be discussed once the product list, packed sizes, weights and production schedules are understood. Confirm storage arrangements, packing protection and what happens if one category is ready later. A single shipment is not suitable for every order; split shipments may need separate agreement and costs.

How long does a whole-project order take?

The schedule depends on product selection, drawing or sample approvals, quantities, customization and shipping arrangements. Ask for separate milestones for approval, production, inspection, packing, transit and destination delivery. Confirm what starts each stage and how changes to the order affect the schedule.

What quality checks can I see before shipment?

Agree on the checks and records required for the selected products before production begins. These may include dimensions, finishes, operation, approved samples, inspection photos, packing lists and loading records. Product test reports and any third-party inspection must match the relevant product and agreed requirements.

Does the quotation include customs, taxes and delivery to my site?

This depends on the written quotation and delivery terms. Confirm freight, cargo insurance, clearance, taxes or duties, destination handling, local delivery and unloading separately. Share the destination and site access information early so the responsibilities and charges can be reviewed.

Who handles installation and problems after delivery?

Ask which product instructions, videos, drawing services and remote guidance are available. Local installation work and any visiting team must be agreed separately. If an item is damaged, missing or needs review, keep the order reference, package labels and clear photos; the applicable remedy and costs depend on the issue and written order terms.
