Services & how it works

Sourcing with a designer's eye

I help Australian interior designers, developers and hospitality teams source furniture and finishes from Guangdong — specified properly, made by a suitable factory, and checked before it ships.

01

Project sourcing

FF&E and finishes for a project, coordinated as one package: specification advice, factory matching, samples, quotes, production follow-up, pre-shipment inspection and shipping coordination.

02

Specification & sample round

For one to three categories: material and product recommendations, and samples or finish references so you can judge quality before committing.

03

Stand-alone pre-shipment inspection

Already ordering from a Guangdong factory? I visit before shipment and check dimensions, finish, colour, function and packaging against your approved sample, with a photo report.

What I source

Core categories

  • Custom designer furniture
  • Wall-hung bathroom vanities (tapware excluded)
  • 600×1200 large-format tile packages
  • Aluminium-frame rope outdoor dining chairs
  • Soft furnishings to complete the scheme

How it works

Seven steps, brief to shipment

  1. BriefDrawings, schedule, quantities, timeline and delivery city.
  2. Specification adviceMaterials, finishes, sizes and practical alternatives.
  3. Factory matching & samplesSuitable factories shortlisted; samples or finish references for your approval.
  4. QuoteFactory quotes shown as issued, with my fee listed separately.
  5. OrderYou sign with and pay the factory directly.
  6. Pre-shipment inspectionI check the goods against the approved sample and your spec, with a photo report.
  7. ShipmentShipping documents coordinated with your nominated freight forwarder.

How you pay

Clear money flow

You pay the factory directly — your money for goods doesn't pass through me. Factory quotes are shown as issued.

Transparent fee, quoted per project — agreed in writing before any order is placed.

I'm independent: I don't own a factory and I don't resell goods.

Not included: installation, and delivery within Australia.

Quality

Checked before it ships

The approved sample or finish reference becomes the standard. Before shipment I check dimensions, finish and colour, function and packaging against it, and send you a photo report.
