Sector · Construction and fit-out
Building materials sourcing in China for companies
For distributors, project buyers and fit-out companies: we compare suppliers and coordinate samples, specifications, checks, documents and deliveries around the needs of the site or warehouse.
We coordinate purchasing and supply. We do not carry out structural validation, engineering calculations or installation.
Who it is for
Who we work with
Companies that buy material in volume or by project lot and need compared suppliers, clear criteria and coordinated deliveries.
- 01
Distributors and wholesalers
You need to extend your range or secure continuity of references with compared suppliers.
- 02
Project purchasing
Refurbishments, developments or hospitality with defined lots, a schedule and several product families.
- 03
Fit-out companies
Bathroom, kitchen, joinery or furniture with your own specifications and recurring batches.
- 04
Recurring purchasing
You already import and want to keep references, suppliers and criteria consistent between orders.
Indicative categories
We can assess these categories according to the specifications, intended use and scope of the project:
- Wall and floor coverings
- Bathroom fittings and taps
- Joinery and finishes
- Home and fit-out products
Lighting and other electrical products require a review of their specific regulations according to their design and intended use. Structural elements need a specific technical review of their suitability for the project.
What we coordinate
From the requirements list to delivery on site or in the warehouse
We coordinate suppliers, samples, specifications, documentation, controls and logistics according to the agreed scope.
Requirements sheet
Measurements, references, intended use, quantities and schedule as the basis for the search.
Suppliers and samples
Manufacturer comparison, sample requests and review of shade, finish and dimensions.
Tolerances, batches and deliveries
Tolerance, finish and shade criteria, identification by reference and batch, and partial deliveries or dates agreed around the needs of the site and the agreed scope. Availability and continuity of references are confirmed for each order.
Performance and documentation
We check the specification and intended use and, where applicable, that a declaration of performance (DoP) —or declaration of performance and conformity, depending on the applicable regime— or the relevant technical sheets and tests exist, and who provides them.
Packaging and transport
Palletising, protection and transport resistance, with agreed checks before shipment.
Consolidation and deliveries
Grouping of several suppliers and delivery planning around the site or warehouse schedule.
An aesthetic sample is not a certified performance
Both matter, but they answer different questions. Before ordering, it helps to know which one you need for each product family.
- 01
Aesthetic sample
Shade, texture, finish and dimensions compared by eye and with basic instruments.
- 02
Technical performance
Strength, absorption, slip resistance or other characteristics that require testing and documentation from whoever performs it.
- 03
Batch and logistics
Continuity between batches, packaging, palletising and transport resistance to destination.
Diagram: the agreed reference for the order brings together three different checks: the aesthetic sample, the certified technical performance, and the batch with its logistics.
What we take on and what we do not
What we coordinate
Suppliers, samples, specifications, quantities, required documentation, agreed controls, consolidation and deliveries, with each party's responsibilities set out in the proposal.
What we do not do
We do not carry out structural validation, calculations, site management or installation, and we do not provide our own engineering services. Those decisions belong to the project and its technical team.
See product compliance and documentationRegulation: not everything shares the same framework
Construction products and fit-out products do not necessarily follow the same rules. We review with you the intended use, whether a harmonised specification exists and which regime applies to each family before defining the documentation.
- Regulation (EU) 2024/3110 progressively replaces Regulation (EU) 305/2011. Requirements coexist during the transition, and neither all obligations nor the digital product passport are universal or immediate.
- The declaration of performance (DoP) and CE marking apply to construction products covered by a harmonised specification, not to all fit-out equipment. We do not carry out building approval or structural validation.
- Not all housewares, furniture or fit-out products carry CE marking: it depends on the legislation applicable to each product and its intended use, not on the commercial category.
- We coordinate the required documentation with suppliers and specialists and check that it is consistent with the intended use and that it is clear who provides it.
- The definitive CBAM regime applies from 2026 to certain goods. Before assuming obligations, the CN code, origin, threshold and exemptions, as well as the importer's role, must be checked. Depending on scope, we identify manufacturer data that may be required and coordinate documentation with specialists; we do not verify or certify emissions and do not act as an authorised CBAM declarant. Not every material is covered, and the treatment of direct and indirect emissions depends on the goods.
Official source
Quantities, prices, lead times and samples are set per operation
They depend on the supplier, the product family, the packaging and the transport. Delivery and logistics terms are defined for each operation in the proposal.
Frequently asked questions about materials
01Can you help me select the material for a specific project?
We start from your requirements sheet and the project specifications to locate and compare suppliers. Technical suitability for the intended use is defined by the project, its technical team and the product documentation.
02How are samples and batches compared?
Shade, finish, dimension and tolerance criteria are agreed against an approved reference. Batches are compared with that reference before shipment under the agreed control.
03Does everything carry CE marking?
No. It depends on the legislation applicable to each product and its intended use: many housewares or furniture items do not require it, while others need specific documentation.
04Can you consolidate several suppliers into one shipment?
Yes, when the operation allows it. We coordinate production, collection and consolidation schedules to reduce partial shipments.
05Can you plan deliveries around the site or warehouse schedule?
We can coordinate production and freight with the planned dates. Specific lead times depend on each supplier and route and are agreed per operation.
06Do you handle one-off or recurring orders?
Both. A one-off order is coordinated as a closed operation; for recurring purchasing we keep references, suppliers and criteria consistent between orders.
Next step
Do you have a project lot or a range to supply from China?
Send us your requirements sheet or the references you are working with and we will propose the scope: supplier search, coordination of a project lot or recurring supply.
