Re: KDR - non-inclusions from Overseas 4Feb 09, 2024 3:52 pm dotty Thanks Simeon for your industry insight, and nuggets of gold (questions/risks) for us to think about. If anyone has any experience, I'm all ears. Hi Dotty I was just thinking as I was driving between jobs today, If I were you, once your plans are developed a little further, speak to 3 or 4 local builders to get some estimates and get their opinion as to how they would deal with you supplying those items. You might find some who say no flat out, but you might find some who have worked in this way before. We allow our clients to supply some items, provided they are locally sourced and aren't part of our warranty. For instance on a recent job the client supplied roughly half of the windows but we were able to quiz the local supplier about their installation practices and they warranted the windows until installation. My issue with overseas supplied windows is who locally is going to install them and take responsibility. I use windows as my main example as from experience, so much can go wrong from scratches, broken glass whilst they are being carried, incorrect sizing and shipping delays etc. Just food for thought.
