On a fit-out the programme is rarely lost on labour. It is lost waiting on hardware. Switches on a twelve-week lead, controllers held at a distributor, a cable drum that never left the warehouse.
We manage the material chain for the packages we deliver - quoting off the schedule, placing orders against the construction programme, tracking lead times weekly, and releasing to site in the sequence the builder actually needs.
What we deliver
- Bill of materials built from the drawings and the door / outlet schedule
- Supplier quoting, order placement and purchase order control
- Lead-time tracking with weekly status against the construction programme
- Consolidation and staging so deliveries match the build sequence
- Goods-inward inspection, serial capture and damage reporting
- Substitution management where a specified part is discontinued
- Handover of the final as-installed materials register
Specification
| Scope | ICT, structured cabling, fibre, electronic security and AV materials |
|---|---|
| Reporting | Weekly lead-time and delivery status against programme |
| Control | PO-level tracking, serial capture, goods-inward inspection |
| Risk | Early flagging of long-lead items at tender stage |
| Handover | As-installed materials register with serials and warranties |
Standards we work to
Long-lead items are identified at tender stage, not at installation stage.
When the supply chain crosses a border
Consolidating an order offshore saves money on the materials line and introduces a question nobody on the project usually owns: who is the legal importer at the other end.
The answer has to exist before the purchase order, because it decides the classification, the documentation and whether the tax paid on import is recoverable or simply gone. Discovered at the border, it is a held consignment. Decided at the purchase order, it is a line item.
- Tariff classification settled at order stage, including on encryption-capable network and security hardware
- Serial numbers captured at consolidation, so the customs declaration and your asset register agree from day one
- Importer of record identified per destination before anything is committed
- Landed cost built with duty, tax and storage included rather than added later as a surprise
- End-of-life route agreed for what the new equipment replaces
The import side is set out on our importer and exporter of record page, and what happens to the equipment being replaced on our IT asset disposal page.
