How it worksStart here
Send the plans. We’ll come back with a landed cost.
Drawings, schedules or a rough sketch — whatever you have. Tell us the finish level you’re chasing and we’ll work out the rest, freight and duty included.
Reply within one business day. Mon–Fri, 7am–6pm AEST.
What to send
Five things make the quote accurate
- Plans, elevations or a joinery schedule — a marked-up sketch is enough to start
- The finish level you costed the job at, and any nominated brands
- Quantities or room counts, even approximate
- Delivery suburb and how a container or truck can access the site
- Anything already locked in with the client that cannot change

The problem
The budget never moves. The specification does.
Material costs have climbed and stayed there. Every set of hands between the factory and your site takes a cut — importer, distributor, wholesaler, retailer — and by the time the product reaches you, the number bears no relation to what it cost to make.
So the finish gets downgraded. Cheaper joinery, thinner flooring, substituted tapware. The client notices, and it’s your name on the job.
The specification isn’t the problem. The supply chain is.
The solution
Three steps, no middlemen.
We removed every layer between the people who make the product and the people who install it. What is left is the factory, the container and your site.
01
The factory floor
We buy at the factory gate from suppliers we have walked through, audited and sampled. Our own staff sit in the same cities as the production lines, so a query is answered by someone standing in front of the machine.
02
Consolidation and compliance
Product is inspected during production, certified against the standards it has to meet in Australia, documented, then consolidated into full containers and shipped by sea. Timber is treated and ISPM 15 marked before it loads.
03
Your site
Customs clearance, quarantine, transport and delivery are handled end to end. One Australian point of contact from the first drawing to the last pallet coming off the truck.
Inside the factories
We stand on the factory floor.
Every supplier we work with has been visited, audited and sampled in person. These are our own photographs from the factories and showrooms behind the product we supply.

The difference
Three ways to buy. One that keeps the spec.
Every route to the same product carries a different risk. This is where we sit, and where we don’t pretend to be different.

Compliance
Imported is not the risk. Undocumented is.
Anyone can put a container on a boat. The reason imported product gets torn out of buildings is not where it was made — it is that nobody could produce the certificate when the certifier asked for it.
Compliance is specified before production starts, verified during it, and handed to you as a documentation pack with the delivery.
Engineered stone benchtops have been prohibited in Australia since 1 January 2025. We do not supply them under any circumstance. Where a stone-look benchtop is specified, we quote compliant alternatives — porcelain, sintered surfaces, natural stone or solid surface — and provide the silica content documentation for each.
A written summary of the standards that apply to imported building products in Australia. Ask for it in the form and we’ll email it through — or call 0481 228 836.
WaterMark
Plumbing and tapware
Every tap, mixer, waste, cistern and flexible hose that touches drinking water carries a WaterMark certificate, with WELS registration for flow and water efficiency. Uncertified plumbing product cannot legally be installed in Australia, and a plumber who fits it wears the liability.
RCM
Electrical and lighting
Lighting, fans, transformers and controls are supplied with a Regulatory Compliance Mark, an Australian responsible supplier on record, and the electrical safety and EMC test reports behind the mark. Our director is a licensed NSW electrical contractor, so this is checked by someone who signs off installations.
AS 2047
Windows and external doors
External windows and doors are tested and labelled to AS 2047 for water penetration, air infiltration and structural wind load against your site's wind classification. Without it, no certifier will pass the building envelope.
AS 1288
Glass and glazing
Glass selection, thickness and grade in accordance with AS 1288, with Grade A safety glass where the code requires it — doors, low-level glazing, wet areas, balustrades and overhead applications.
AS/NZS 4386
Domestic kitchen assemblies
Cabinetry built to the material, moisture-resistance and construction requirements of AS/NZS 4386, with low-formaldehyde E0 or E1 board and documented hardware ratings.
AS 1657 / NCC
Stairs and balustrades
Staircases set out to NCC rise, going and going-to-rise limits, with balustrade heights, gap limits and load resistance verified before manufacture. Staircase geometry is the single most common cause of an imported product being rejected on site.
ISPM 15
Timber and quarantine
All timber packaging, pallets, crating and dunnage heat-treated or fumigated and stamped to ISPM 15. Product is packed to survive a biosecurity inspection so containers are not held, treated at your cost or re-exported.
Slip and fire
Flooring, tiles and linings
Slip resistance classified to AS 4586 for wet areas, ramps and external paving, and fire hazard properties documented for linings where the NCC calls for a group number.

The paperwork
Every order arrives with its own file.
Product is only half of it. What protects you at handover is the record behind it — what was drawn, what was checked, what was certified and what was in the carton.
Production inspection report
Photographs and notes taken by our staff on the factory floor while the order is being made, not after it is packed.
Approved shop drawings
The drawings the factory worked to, signed off by you before production starts, so the built item matches the spec.
Product certification
Test reports and compliance documentation for the products supplied, filed against the job for your certifier.
Treatment and biosecurity paperwork
Timber treatment and packaging certification prepared for Australian quarantine requirements.
Packing list and carton schedule
Every carton itemised, so what is on the truck can be reconciled against the schedule on site.
Landed cost breakdown
Goods, freight, duty and handling shown separately — you can see what you are paying for at each stage.
The process
From plans to site.
Six stages. You are told where the product is and what happens next at every one of them.
01
Enquiry and scope
You send drawings, schedules or a sketch. We read the spec, ask the questions that matter and come back with a scope in writing.
02
Indicative landed cost
A single number per line item that includes product, freight, duty, GST and delivery to your site. Nothing added later.
03
Samples and approvals
Physical samples for finish, colour and hardware. You sign off on what will be made before anything is put into production.
04
Production and inspection
Our staff inspect during production, not after. Photos, video and a written report at each checkpoint, plus live video calls from the floor on request.
05
Certification and freight
Certificates issued and checked against the standards for your build. Timber treated and marked. Loaded into a consolidated container and shipped by sea.
06
Clearance and delivery
Customs, quarantine and transport handled. Product arrives on your site with the documentation your certifier will ask for.
About
Why this business exists
I’m Matthew Neil. For the past seven years I’ve run a licensed electrical contracting business in Sydney, working across residential, strata and commercial sites.
I watched the cost of building change from the inside. On site, I saw the same thing happen over and over: the budget didn’t move, so the specification did. I started sourcing product direct out of China for my own projects, then for other trades who kept asking.
So I went and did the part most importers skip. I flew over, walked the factories, audited the ones worth working with and put our own staff on the ground in the cities where the product is made.
The buying isn’t the hard part — the compliance, quality control and freight are. That’s the part we handle.

Questions
The things builders ask first.
If your question isn’t here, call 0481 228 836 and speak to the person who handles the order.
How does buying direct from the factory actually work?
You send drawings, a schedule or even a sketch. We price the package at the factory gate, add freight, duty and compliance, and give you one landed figure delivered to your site. If you proceed, we place the order, our staff inspect during production, and we handle shipping and clearance.
Who is responsible if the product doesn't meet Australian standards?
We are. Compliance is specified before production starts, verified during it, and handed to you as a documentation pack with the delivery — WaterMark certificates, RCM evidence, test reports and treatment certification, depending on the product.
Do you supply engineered stone?
No. Engineered stone benchtops, panels and slabs have been prohibited in Australia since 1 January 2025. We quote compliant alternatives such as porcelain and natural stone instead.
Can I see the product before it ships?
Yes. Our staff are in the same cities as the production lines, so we send photos and video from the floor, and we can walk you through the product on a video call before it is packed.
What product lines can you source?
We source joinery, staircases, flooring, tiles, windows and doors, tapware and bathroom fixtures. If it is made in a factory in China, we can usually price it, inspect it and land it — just send through the schedule or specification.
Can I get samples before placing a full order?
Yes. Samples are ordered once the initial price range is accepted. We send physical samples or high-resolution photos and video from the factory so you can confirm finish, colour and quality before production starts.
How does delivery and site handover work?
We consolidate your order into a container, handle customs clearance and freight, then deliver to your site on a booked day. You receive the compliance documentation pack at the same time as the delivery.
What are the payment terms?
A deposit is required to confirm the order, with the balance due before the container leaves the factory. Terms are set out in the quotation and in our terms and conditions of sale.
What is the minimum order?
There isn't a fixed minimum, but the economics work best on a full internal package or a single trade line at volume. Send the scope and we'll tell you honestly whether it is worth importing.
Do you deliver outside Sydney?
Yes. We consolidate into containers and deliver anywhere in Australia. Interstate and regional delivery is priced into the landed figure so there are no surprises at the gate.
Build the job you drew.
Send through the drawings and we’ll price the package, landed on your site, with the compliance path in writing.
