Who this is for
Developers, quantity surveyors and purchasing departments.
Shortlist by capability, not marketing reach
Start with system type, factory capacity, engineering capability, finish standard, project geography and realistic delivery programme. Ask each bidder which elements they directly manufacture and which they subcontract.
- Relevant delivered project references with permission to verify.
- Factory capabilities, production rate and quality procedures.
- Named engineering responsibilities and technical document deliverables.
Normalise commercial offers
Two quotations may use different Incoterms, taxes, transport allowances, installation exclusions and warranty boundaries. Compare the delivered-and-commissioned scope on the same basis before choosing.
- Separate manufacture, engineering, freight, lifting and site works.
- Check currency, schedule, payment protection and change orders.
- Obtain a written exclusions and assumptions register.
Verify project-specific requirements
Evidence of general factory certification cannot substitute for project-specific fire, acoustic, accessibility or plumbing compliance. Technical approval belongs to the project's qualified designers and authorities.
- Check certificates and test reports for the proposed product and market.
- Review component substitutions and available local spares.
- Agree inspection, defect resolution and aftercare across borders.
Questions project buyers ask
Do you manufacture bathroom pods?
Premier Sanitary is a project sourcing and procurement information service, not a factory. We use project requirements to identify appropriate supply approaches.
Can you source across different countries?
The sourcing brief can consider local and international supply options, subject to technical suitability, logistics and actual supplier capacity. Availability must be confirmed per enquiry.
Can I ask for comparable quotations?
Yes. Share a common brief with unit counts, types, drawings, destination and project schedule so the scope can be aligned.
Decision note
Codes, permits and system performance vary by location and selected manufacturer. Ask your architect, MEP consultants and approving authorities to review the specific proposal before contract award.
