Category 02

Construction & Building Materials

A building package mixes heavy commodities priced by the tonne with finishing items priced by the piece, on completely different lead times. REPONS structures the bill of quantities into sourcing lots so the site is supplied in the sequence it is built.

  • Structural and reinforcing steel, profiles and sections

  • Industrial halls, warehouses and prefabricated structures

05Procurement considerations
  • Commodity items and finishing items belong in separate shipment plans
  • Where a specified brand is unavailable, equivalence must be agreed in writing before order
  • Destination standards and test documentation shape the supplier list from the start
  • Steel and cement pricing moves with the market; quotations carry a stated validity

  2. 02Mill and factory options compared on standard, certificate and lead time
  3. 03Container and break-bulk planning decided per lot, not per item
