How It Works?

Understanding Client Needs

The client sent over architectural drawings and requested a batch of custom-made furniture for the GSA Pelham 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.

Choosing the Right Factory

We carefully selected manufacturers based on their specialties—for example, factories that focus solely on metal chairs, office chairs, modern minimalist wood furniture, or sofas.

Each factory has years of experience, a proven production scale, and deep expertise in its category.
Before placing any orders, we personally visited and assessed every factory involved.

Sample Development and Approval

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.

Order Confirmation & Production Scheduling

We sent the PI.
The client paid a 40% deposit.
We signed a contract with the factory covering product details and delivery terms.
Then we followed up on production.

Quality Checks

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.

Loading Container & Shipping

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.

After-Sales Support

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.
