ARCHITECTURAL SOURCING & PROCUREMENT

Our Sourcing Process

Phase 1: AlignmentTimeline: 1 - 2 Days

Client Discussion

We begin by hosting an in-depth alignment session to unpack your project's architectural drawings, interior layout blueprints, design aesthetics, and material schedules.

Our team collaborates directly with your project stakeholders to understand budget limits and strict delivery dates.

Key Milestones:
Review architectural blueprints
Align on budget limits
Define delivery deadlines
Establish initial material list

Phase 2: DiscoveryTimeline: 3 - 5 Days

Feasibility Analysis

With your material specifications in hand, our sourcing teams coordinate with vetted manufacturing units across primary production clusters.

We request factory production availability, confirm material durability standards, estimate shipping times, and negotiate initial factory rates.

Key Milestones:
Vetting manufacturing units
Confirming material standards
Initial cost estimation
Feasibility and risks report
Phase 3: TransparencyTimeline: 2 - 4 Days

BOQ Creation

Once sourcing viability is established, we translate the requirements into a detailed Bill of Quantities (BOQ) with itemized factory unit pricing, freight estimates, and site trucking fees.

This BOQ provides complete financial transparency, listing exactly what portion of the budget goes to product manufacture versus freight logistics, with zero hidden costs.

Key Milestones:
Detailed material breakdown
Itemized factory unit pricing
Freight calculations
Last-mile delivery costing

Phase 4: QualityTimeline: During Manufacture

Product Inspection

We do not leave quality to chance. Daftlabs employs specialized inspection agents at each manufacturing cluster who visit the factories throughout the production cycle.

Before any container is packed and sealed, our agents perform randomized stress tests, verify color consistency across tile batches, measure dimensional tolerances, and send a complete photo report to you.

Key Milestones:
In-line manufacture tracking
Dimensional tolerance testing
Color shade consistency check
Pre-loading photo report
Phase 5: LogisticsTimeline: Port to Site

Dispatch & Site Delivery

After inspection sign-off, we handle the entire logistics pipeline: booking cargo space, packing securely to prevent breakage, and preparing dispatch documentation.

Upon dispatch, we manage the transport timeline and arrange trucks to deliver the materials straight to your project site.

Key Milestones:
Container cargo booking
Secure seaworthy packing
Dispatch documentation handling
Site-truck unloading support
