For projects that proceed, the main service fee is based on the total purchased goods value and confirmed before work starts.
Service model
Not a factory. Not a simple middleman. A one-stop project service provider.
FoshanBuild charges for professional project work: sourcing, quote comparison, supplier follow-up, QC, packing records, delivery handoff, and optional installation guidance. The goal is a steadier route and better total value, not a product resale pitch.
If the project does not proceed or no purchase is completed, we charge only for the actual working days already used.
Product value, service fee, shipping, customs, tax, local delivery, installation guidance, and reserve are separated so the buyer can see the true landed picture.
Scope
What FoshanBuild can help coordinate.
Product category mapping, supplier shortlisting, showroom route planning, and first quote comparison.
EXW, FOB, CIF, DDP assumptions, CBM, packaging, inland trucking, samples, and payment schedule checks.
Room-by-room list, product images, dimensions, finish notes, lead times, supplier contact, and risk notes.
A professional project manager follows the order from brief, selection, quote, deposit, production, QC, packing, shipping, and delivery handover.
Plan a practical route around Foshan product clusters, not random showroom hopping.
Sample review, production photo checks, dimensions, hardware, surface finish, pre-assembly, and packing photo records.
CBM collection, packing list coordination, loading photos, forwarder communication, and destination delivery questions.
For suitable projects, paid on-site guidance can support the local installer with sequence, product handover, issue checking, and final placement.
How this differs from a factory or middleman
We charge for project service, not for pretending to be a factory.
Multiple categories
Furniture, cabinets, doors, windows, tiles, stone, bathrooms, lighting, and hardware are handled as one project schedule.
Decision records
Every important decision needs image, material, size, price basis, supplier, and approval status.
Export awareness
Product choices are checked against packing, shipping, replacement, and destination-market practicalities.
Installation handover
The handover can include installation sequence notes, packing labels, room tags, and optional paid site guidance.
Proof of process
What a serious buyer should expect before money moves.
For a mixed furniture and building-material order, trust comes from records. The work should leave a clear trail that a homeowner, builder, designer, forwarder, or installer can inspect.
Room-by-room item schedule
Images, dimensions, finishes, room tags, supplier, price basis, lead time, packing notes, and approval status are kept in one working schedule.
Quote comparison and scope log
Supplier offers are compared by material, hardware, packaging, trade term, CBM, warranty assumption, and what is excluded, not only by lowest unit price.
Sample, drawing, and finish approvals
Key decisions are locked before deposit or production: color, surface, door direction, handle, stone pattern, glass, hardware, and accessories.
QC, packing, and loading records
The useful evidence is production photos, size checks, surface checks, packing photos, labels, crate notes, loading sequence, and missing-item records.
Delivery and installation handover
Room tags, packing references, installation sequence notes, and issue lists can be prepared for the local team. Paid site guidance is available for suitable projects.
Risk control
What we clarify instead of hiding.
Product cost, sourcing service, inland trucking, freight, customs, tax, door delivery, installation guidance, and reserve must be separated.
Windows, glass, electrical items, plumbing, fire, tax, and local installation rules must be checked by market and project.
Use schedules, quote basis, QC, packing, and delivery handoff records to judge whether the project is being controlled.
Small, urgent, highly regulated, or installation-heavy orders may be better sourced locally. The first step is judging whether the route is worth it.
Service fee guide
A practical budget anchor before we scope the work.
First route check
Quick review of destination, categories, current quote, and what information is missing before a real sourcing plan.
Quote and supplier review
For checking supplier quote basis, product details, packing notes, and obvious risk points before deposit.
Remote sourcing coordination
For multi-category sourcing, item schedule building, supplier comparison, samples, and decision records.
Full project coordination
For higher-value projects that need ongoing Foshan-side follow-up, QC points, packing records, and shipping handoff.
On-site installation guidance
For selected projects that need a project manager or technical coordinator to support local installation handover, sequencing, issue checks, and final placement.
If no purchase is completed
If the project does not proceed to purchase, we charge only for the actual working days already used.
These are service fee reference ranges. They do not include product value, sample fees, third-party inspection, international freight, duties, insurance, or local delivery. Final scope is confirmed case by case.
200 sqm home budget
Three package levels buyers can calculate quickly.
Use this as a fast planning model for a 200 sqm overseas home. Buyers can start from the package level, then add or remove product categories.
Essential Series
Approx. RMB 3,900/sqm. A practical base package for core furniture, selected materials, lighting, and soft furnishing needs.
Signature Series
Approx. RMB 5,100/sqm. The recommended middle package for better finishes, fuller category coverage, and stronger design consistency.
Prestige Series
Approx. RMB 7,700/sqm. A higher-spec package for villa, show home, hospitality, or premium residential projects.
Full-scope project budget
When logistics, customs, tax, door delivery, local installation coordination, project management, and reserve are included.
RMB 2 million can be reasonable only as a full-scope project budget, not as a pure product procurement price.
