Building & Construction

Building & construction material cost is recognized as a key part of overall construction project budget. The material procurement process has to be well planned and executed to meet overall cost objective.

There are challenges for companies to undertake oversea procurements with issues of reliability, quality and cost overshooting. It is essential to have procurement professionals to manage oversea procurement process and to ensure the entire project meeting the objectives.

Creating Low Cost Supply Chain

For building and construction companies, creating a low cost supply chain is essential for companies' competition strength and profitability. However for many companies, they found it with enormous challenge to source materials from oversea, with the issues of reliability, quality and lack of management ability due to distance. Our procurement service offers exceptional results of optimizing procurement cost with our streamlined management process to ensure our client's oversea supply chain is reliable and efficient and within budget.

Specific Quality Standard

Materials are used in construction are highly strict in its quality and precision. This is one of the major reasons that companies are reluctant to sourcing materials from oversea with the afraid of compromising material quality and safety.

There are a large number of quality standardizations in building and construction materials and varies in different countries and regions. It is important for the manufacturers to understand and follow the specified product quality standard.

There is the risk to solely rely on manufacturers' ability to follow quality criteria and standardization, Continental Solution allocates great resource to monitor and manage the quality issues during the production process.

Cost overshooting

Building materials are subjected to great uncertainty of cost, due to the materials are mostly made from metal commodities that has the nature of price volatility. This increases the difficulties to manage the material cost and in some case, price overshooting occurs that undermine the overall project budget management.

In order to mitigate the cost overshooting risk, we adopt cost management mechanisms such as commodity options and futures to lock in the cost for certain time frame to prevent cost overshooting.

Operation Management

Building industry has stringent requisite for construction company to fulfill its obligation of completing the project within deadline. However, clients found sourcing material from oversea is a prolonged process and rigidity in its operation management. Delayed material delivery can affect overall project operation as construction schedule is tightly planned and organized.

We put high focus on supplier relationship managements to deal with various operation challenges that we are getting all parties to work together under the same objective and guidelines.
