Project purchasing requirements
Developers purchase multiple categories of building products: flooring, plumbing, lighting, doors and hardware, HVAC, and other technical equipment. Many packages pass through different distributors. Reviewing the bill of quantities, previous projects and future orders can reveal recurring items suitable for direct manufacturer requests without changing engineer or architect requirements.
Procurement strategy
An effective report compares current quotes with factory pricing, minimum orders, applicable approvals, landed costs and installation dates. Projects in Montréal, Québec City, Ottawa, Miami or Hollywood need local code checks, storage arrangements and phased site delivery. Potential savings may come from purchasing across phases, standardizing approved references and improving supplier visibility.
Key checks
- Audit bills of materials and future project demand
- Obtain professional approval of technical equivalents
- Consolidate purchasing and phase delivery by project
