The client sent over drawings and requested a batch of custom-made furniture for the Journal Uni Place student accommodation project in Melbourne.
All products are required to meet high standards in both design and durability, as they are intended for use in a premium student living environment.
The client emphasized strict quality requirements: samples must be developed and approved before mass production can begin.
We handpicked specialized manufacturers for each product type—like wood tables, side tables, bar stools, office chairs, filing cabinets, and plastic chairs.
Each factory has years of experience and a strong track record in its category.
Before placing orders, we personally visited and evaluated every factory to ensure quality and reliability.
The client sent us the drawings for the sample furniture. We had all selected factories make the samples and shipped them to the client for approval.
After the client approved the samples, we proceeded with bulk production. We signed purchase contracts with each factory, clearly defining the quality standards, after-sales terms, and penalties for late delivery to ensure the project stays on schedule.
We confirmed all technical and production details with the factories in advance, closely followed up on the production process, and ensured everything was delivered on time and met the agreed standards.
Once bulk production was completed, we conducted strict quality inspections at each factory. Detailed inspection reports were sent to the client for review.
In most cases, issues are found during inspection — such as missing items or incorrect details. We immediately ask the factory to rework and fix the problems before shipping.
Catching issues before shipment makes them much easier to resolve. If problems are only discovered after the goods arrive by sea, it becomes much more difficult and costly to fix.
We consolidate goods from multiple factories and use highly experienced container loading teams to ensure safe and efficient loading. A professional loading report is provided to the client, clearly showing what items were loaded and where they are placed inside the container.
We also provide all necessary customs clearance documents for the destination port to support a smooth import process.
Shipping and container planning starts early — even at the order stage, we estimate the total volume and weight of the goods to help ensure the containers are fully utilized without wasted space.
All goods are securely packed, and the loading process is carefully managed to prevent damage and avoid exceeding the container’s weight limit.
We choose shipping lines based on the destination port and offer the best shipping option by balancing freight cost, transit time, and service quality.
With over a decade of hands-on experience in managing mixed shipments from multiple factories across various projects, we’ve developed reliable and cost-effective logistics strategies tailored for international construction procurement.
With more projects and more products comes the occasional issue — and we take full responsibility for any quality problems caused during production or shipping.
We sign after-sales agreements with all manufacturers to ensure accountability. During the warranty period, if any non-human damage occurs, we will provide free replacement parts or repair service.
