China Sourcing
Based in Guangzhou
We help overseas buyers source building materials, MEP equipment, prefab systems and custom furniture from China. From requirement clarification and supplier verification to sampling, production follow-up, inspection and shipment, we manage the process on the buyer’s side.
What we source
made to spec.
These are the product groups we source most often. Most are custom or project-based rather than standard off-the-shelf goods. If your item is not listed, send us the drawings or specification anyway. We work for the buyer, not for any fixed factory.
01
Building Materials
Selected against performance requirements, with certificates and test reports checked against the actual specification.
- Architectural Hardware
- System Windows & Doors
- Green Building Materials
- Waterproofing Systems
- Thermal Insulation
02
MEP Equipment
Selected to technical duty points and operating requirements; functional testing can be arranged before packing.

03
Prefab & Modular
Checked as complete modules — dimensions, interfaces and services included — not just as individual materials.
Open group →
04
Custom Furniture
Assessed by timber species, moisture content, joinery, finish and sample approval — details a product photo cannot verify.
Open group →Replace fragmented supplier management with one accountable team.
When a project involves multiple factories, drawings, specifications and shipment dates, the hard part is not finding supplier names — it is keeping every supplier aligned. We act as your buyer-side team in China, coordinating suppliers from sampling through final loading.
How it works
from first brief
to shipment.
Each stage moves forward only after the previous stage has been reviewed and agreed. The aim is simple: define the requirement early, compare suppliers on the same basis, and catch issues while they are still inexpensive to fix.
Requirement review & sourcing plan
Send a drawing, BOM, specification, photo or existing quotation. We clarify the requirement, identify gaps in scope or specification, and define the sourcing target before contacting suppliers.
You receive: a written sourcing brief and target cost framework.
Supplier sourcing & verification
Potential suppliers are screened for capability and fit, with site visits arranged where appropriate. The same requirement is issued to each supplier so quotations can be compared on a like-for-like basis.
You receive: a qualified shortlist, typically 3–5 suppliers, with comparable quotations and cost breakdowns.
Sampling, negotiation & specification sign-off
We coordinate sample rounds and negotiate commercial terms. Before mass production, key dimensions, materials, tolerances, finishes, packaging and approved references are recorded in writing.
You receive: approved samples, agreed commercial terms and a confirmed production specification.
Production follow-up, QC & shipment
Production is followed at agreed milestones. Final inspection is arranged where required, followed by consolidation, loading supervision and checks for consistency and completeness of shipping documents.
You receive: inspection records, final shipping documents and shipment details.
Before we start,
four things to know.
Finding suppliers in China is often the easy part. The harder part is defining requirements clearly, comparing suppliers on the same basis, coordinating the process and managing changes along the way.
01What does a sourcing partner add beyond finding suppliers online?
+Finding suppliers online is relatively straightforward. The harder part is determining which suppliers are genuinely suitable for a specific project — whether they understand the specification, quote on the same scope, can reproduce an approved sample consistently in production, and can meet the agreed commercial and delivery requirements.
As your China-based sourcing partner, we help structure and coordinate that process. This may include clarifying requirements, verifying suppliers, comparing quotations on a like-for-like basis, coordinating samples and production follow-up, arranging inspections where required, and supporting consolidation and shipping.
The value is not more supplier contacts. It is clearer decisions, fewer avoidable errors and better visibility across cost, schedule and risk.
02Can you source custom or project-specific products?
+Our core categories include building materials, MEP equipment, building controls and automation, prefab and modular systems, bathroom pods and custom furniture. Many of the items we source are made to order or specified for individual projects rather than bought off the shelf.
If you have drawings, a BOM, technical specifications, photos, samples or an existing quotation, we can start by reviewing the available information, clarifying the requirements and assessing what type of supplier may be suitable.
Sourcing custom-made products from drawings, specifications or samples — as well as coordinating products across multiple categories — is a regular part of our work. If a request falls outside our scope, we will say so early.
03How do you help manage quality and reduce the risk of specification mismatches?
+Many sourcing problems begin before production, when requirements have not been defined or confirmed clearly enough. That is why we place so much emphasis on specification clarity and alignment.
Before production, we review the relevant specifications, materials, finishes, approved samples, quantities, packaging, quotation basis and lead time with the supplier. During production, we follow agreed milestones and document relevant changes. Where required and agreed as part of the sourcing scope, a pre-shipment inspection can also be arranged.
We cannot promise that every project will be problem-free. When we identify an issue, we report it clearly, document the available evidence and explain the practical options so the buyer can decide how to proceed.
04How are your service fees structured, and how are supplier quotations handled?
+We work independently of individual suppliers and support the buyer throughout the sourcing process. Our service scope and fees depend on the product categories involved, the number of suppliers, the level of customisation and the overall complexity of the project.
Before work begins, we agree the scope of our services and explain the applicable fees. Where the information is available, supplier quotations and separate costs such as sampling, inspection, logistics and sourcing services are presented clearly so that you can understand what each cost relates to.
A sourcing partner should make procurement costs easier to understand, not harder.
中国采购
立足广州
为海外承包商、开发商和采购团队提供中国采购支持,主要涉及建筑材料、机电设备、集成与模块化系统以及定制家具。从规格审查和供应商核实,到打样、生产跟进、验货协调和出运支持,我们站在买方一侧,协调整个采购过程。
我们采购什么
按规格来,不只是按目录买
下面是我们最常接触的几个产品类别。很多产品属于按项目定制,而不是现成的标准货。如果您的需求不在这些类别里,也可以把现有资料发来,我们先判断是否适合继续推进。
多家供应商,一个统一的协调窗口。
当一个项目同时涉及多家供应商、不同图纸、不同规格和不同出运时间时,真正困难的往往不是「找到供应商」,而是让各方始终围绕同一套要求推进。我们作为您在中国的采购伙伴,协助梳理信息、协调供应商和关键节点,让项目各环节更容易被看清和管理。
怎么合作
从第一份需求,
到出运。
尽量在前期把要求说清楚,让不同供应商基于相近的条件报价,并在问题仍然容易调整的时候尽早识别。
需求梳理与采购方案
把图纸、物料清单、规格、照片或现有报价发来。我们先梳理需求和范围,找出仍需确认的信息,再决定应该如何接触供应商。
您会拿到:一份整理后的采购需求说明,以及后续需要确认的关键问题。
供应商筛选与核实
根据项目要求筛选潜在供应商,了解其产品范围、生产能力和项目匹配度,必要时进一步核实相关信息或安排实地走访。同一份相对清晰的需求发给候选供应商,便于后续比较报价和条件。
您会拿到:初步筛选的候选供应商名单,以及主要匹配依据和需要进一步确认的问题。
打样、商务沟通与规格确认
协调样品,比较商业条件。进入批量生产前,把关键尺寸、材料、公差、饰面、包装和确认样等要求尽量形成书面记录。
您会拿到:样品与关键确认记录,以及可作为后续生产依据的规格信息。
生产跟进、验货与出运
按约定节点跟进生产;根据项目和服务范围,在需要时安排出货前检查;随后协调拼柜、装柜并核查相关出运文件。
您会拿到:项目中实际形成的跟进记录、验货记录和出运资料。
开始之前,四件值得先知道的事。
在中国找到供应商通常并不难。更难的是把要求定义清楚、让不同供应商在相近条件下比较,并在整个采购过程中协调信息和变化。
01采购伙伴除了网上找供应商,还能带来什么?
+网上找到供应商并不难。真正困难的是判断哪一家适合具体项目:它是否真正理解规格,报价范围是否一致,确认样是否能稳定复制到生产中,以及能否满足约定的商业和交付条件。
作为常驻中国的采购伙伴,我们协助梳理并协调这个过程。根据项目不同,工作可能包括需求澄清、供应商核实、同口径报价比较、样品协调、生产跟进、按需安排验货,以及拼柜和出运支持。
价值不在于多给您几个供应商联系方式,而在于让决策更清楚、减少可避免的错误,并让成本、时间和风险更容易被看见。
02可以采购定制或项目型产品吗?
+可以。我们的核心领域包括建筑材料、机电设备、楼宇控制与自动化、集成与模块化系统、整体卫浴以及定制家具。很多产品本身就是按订单或按项目规格生产的,并不是现货。
如果您有图纸、物料清单、技术规格、照片、样品或现有报价,都可以先发来。我们会先看现有信息,梳理需求,再判断什么类型的供应商可能更合适。
按图纸、规格或样品采购定制产品,以及协调多个品类共同推进,都是我们经常处理的工作。如果某项需求超出我们的能力范围,我们会尽早说明。
03你们怎么帮助管理质量,并降低规格不一致的风险?
+很多采购问题其实在生产之前就已经埋下了:需求没有被定义得足够清楚,或者关键规格没有被双方确认。
生产前,我们会和供应商一起审查相关规格、材料、饰面、确认样、数量、包装、报价基础和交期。生产过程中按约定节点跟进,并记录重要变更。根据项目需要和双方约定的服务范围,也可以安排出货前检查。
我们不能保证每个项目都不会出现问题。发现问题时,我们会把事实说明清楚,整理已有证据,并把现实可行的处理选项列出来,供买方决定下一步怎么做。
04服务费怎么收?供应商报价怎么处理?
+我们独立于具体供应商工作,服务对象是买方。服务范围和收费会根据品类、供应商数量、定制程度和项目复杂度确定。
项目开始前,双方会先确认服务范围和适用费用。能够获得相应信息时,供应商报价以及打样、验货、物流、采购服务等不同费用会尽量清楚分开,让您知道每一笔费用对应什么。
好的采购伙伴,应该让采购成本更容易看懂,而不是更难看懂。
