Bahamas Residence Building Materials and FF&E Procurement Case Study
Bahamas residential building materials and FF&E procurement case with China sourcing, supplier follow-up, QC attention and shipment preparation.
Kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, vanities and joinery packages sourced from Foshan and Guangdong factories, inspected and shipped by full container.
Cabinet and wardrobe packages are the most drawing-intensive scope on an apartment, hotel or student-accommodation project: every unit is made to a room type, and a small error repeats across hundreds of rooms. FBM Sourcing manages the entire China procurement package for overseas construction projects, and for joinery that means we take your room schedules and elevations, match them to cabinet factories in the Foshan and Guangdong cluster that already build for export, coordinate shop drawings unit by unit, run a mock-up or sample unit for finish and hardware approval, inspect before shipment with our own FBM Sourcing QC team, and pack knocked-down or assembled to suit your installer.
Recent joinery scopes include hotel wardrobes and vanities for a Florida hotel, cabinet and storage units for a Florida school, and kitchen and wardrobe packages for apartment projects in Australia. All quotations, invoices and shipping documents are issued by FBM Sourcing — you deal with us, and we carry the responsibility. For suppliers you nominate, we charge a 5% commission; for products we source for you, we quote a direct price.
Cabinet and joinery items we source and coordinate for construction projects, produced to your room schedules and finish samples.
From room schedule to loaded container, one FBM Sourcing team coordinates the drawings, the factory, the inspection and the shipping.
Send your room schedules, elevations, finish specification and destination country. We confirm the cabinet construction, board standard and a sourcing plan.
We shortlist cabinet factories with export records to your market, compare carcass, door and hardware options, and organise a sample unit or mock-up for approval.
We coordinate unit-by-unit shop drawings, follow production, and inspect finished units — dimensions, finish, hardware, edge-banding and packing — before shipment.
Units are packed knocked-down or assembled as agreed, labelled by room type, and consolidated with the rest of the project package. We always ship by full container.
| Standard / approval | What it covers |
|---|---|
| CARB Phase 2 / TSCA Title VI (USA) | Formaldehyde emission limits for composite wood panels; factories supply certified board and mill certificates. |
| E1 / E0 (EU, Australia, Middle East) | European formaldehyde classes referenced in most specifications outside North America. |
| EN 14749 / AS/NZS 4386 | Performance and safety requirements for domestic and kitchen storage furniture. |
| ANSI/KCMA A161.1 (USA) | Kitchen cabinet performance testing referenced by US specifiers. |
| BS 5852 / CAL 117 | Where upholstered joinery elements (banquettes, headboards) are part of the same package. |
Which standards apply depends on the destination country and the specification. FBM Sourcing confirms the required test reports with the factory before production and checks the documents during the pre-shipment inspection.

Yes, for most joinery packages. A sample or mock-up unit lets your design team approve finish, hardware and construction before the factory cuts hundreds of units. Site measurement before custom production is coordinated where the building is already at fit-out stage.
Either. Hotel wardrobes and vanities usually ship assembled; apartment kitchens often ship knocked-down to save container space. We agree the format with your installer before production and pack accordingly.
CARB Phase 2 / TSCA Title VI for North America, E1/E0 for Europe, Australia and the Middle East. Board certificates come from the factory and are checked during inspection.
Our own FBM Sourcing QC team inspects at the factory before shipment: dimensions against the drawings, finish and colour against the approved sample, edge-banding, hardware function, and packing. You receive photos and a report before loading.
