Three signs your current supplier is quietly costing you the project.
Most architects catch the first one only after the client conversation has already become difficult🤷🏻♀️
1. The lead time keeps shifting.
Every update adds another two weeks. You're communicating delays before you've confirmed them yourself — and your client's confidence in the timeline starts eroding long before the materials arrive on site.
2. The samples are never quite right.
Wrong colourway. Wrong finish. Close enough to move forward with, but not close enough to feel certain about. Every correction round costs time that wasn't built into the fee.
3. The depth only exists in one category.
They're credible in wallpaper — or flooring — but the full palette still ends up split across three suppliers.
Three lead times. Three delivery windows. Three relationships to manage for a single project.
The right supplier doesn't generate these problems. They eliminate them before they start.
