What to confirm before sourcing tiles, stone, and hard finishes

Porcelain tiles, slabs, engineered stone, sintered stone, flooring, and wall finishes. For overseas projects, the important work is to define the exact scope, quote basis, packing expectation, and approval record before deposits are paid.

Useful checks

  • Tile and slab sourcing
  • Batch, size, and surface checks
  • Crate, breakage, and container loading plan
  • Destination country, delivery address type, and installation expectation.
  • Product images, dimensions, finish, material, quantity, package size, and CBM.
  • Payment schedule, production lead time, inspection point, and replacement policy.

Recommended workflow

  1. Send room list, drawings, or reference images.
  2. Build a product schedule with one row per item.
  3. Compare suppliers by details, not only by unit price.
  4. Confirm samples, finishes, and packing before bulk production.
  5. Collect production, packing, and loading photo records.
