Direct from the makers · Vietnam

Buy the materials. Not the markups.

By the time a materials package reaches a project owner it has usually passed through a trading company, an importer and a contractor — and you never see the factory's number underneath. Send us the bill of materials and we go straight to the makers: six material groups, one consolidated proposal, 48 hours.

What one developer found

A third of the contractor's quote

The owner had a contractor price for the full window and frame package. Going to the manufacturers directly, the same specification was concluded at roughly a third of that total. Nothing exotic happened — the layers between the factory and the project simply came out.

Project: 80-unit condominium development
Where: Massachusetts, USA
Package: Windows & aluminium framing

As related to our desk by the project owner; details anonymised. One project's outcome — not a quotation or a guarantee. Savings depend on specification, quantity, freight and duty.

And what they found instead

A better material than the one specified

High-silica engineered stone became restricted mid-tender. Rather than lose the package, the specification moved to a large-format porcelain alternative — supplied with the WELS and WaterMark documentation the wet-area package needed, priced landed at zero duty under AANZFTA.

Project: Residential project, mid-tender
Where: Australia
Package: Engineered stone → large-format porcelain

Where the money goes

The gap isn't the factory. It's everything stacked on top of it.

What an owner is usually quoted

The factory's price for the material
+ the trading company that fronts the factory
+ the importer / distributor holding stock
+ the contractor's markup, overhead and profit

Each layer is a real business doing real work — but you pay for all of them, and you never see the number underneath.

What buying direct looks like

The factory's price for the material
+ freight, duty and our margin — inside one price you approve

One counterparty, one consolidated price, and the factory quote is no longer hidden from you.

Then there's duty. Vietnamese origin lands at 0% into the EU, UK, Australia and Japan — and under the US framework, still below the China-plus-surcharge alternative.

The part nobody expects

Buyers come for the price. They stay because we found them a better option.

A specification written from a distance is a best guess about what a market can supply. Once you are talking to the people who actually make the material, better answers surface — a compliant substitute when a rule moves, the cluster that makes your line properly, a load plan that halves the freight. That is the part clients tell us they valued most.

A material that clears the rule you just hit

When a code or ban moves under a live tender — engineered stone in Australia, a fire classification in the EU — the useful answer is a compliant substitute that holds the design intent, with the certificates already in hand.

The silica question →

The same spec, from a cluster that makes it better

Vietnam's factories concentrate by material — tile in the Red River Delta, wood in the southeast, quartz in the northern midlands. Knowing which cluster makes your line properly is worth more than a lower quote from the wrong one.

One container instead of four shipments

Most projects span three or four of our groups. Consolidating them into one load plan cuts freight per unit and synchronises arrival, so the site isn't waiting on the one group that shipped alone.
