Product universe / selected scope

Products we bring in.

Every set of hands between the factory and your site takes a cut, and the specification is what gets downgraded to cover it. We buy at the factory gate instead. Full internal packages, or a single trade line, specified to Australian requirements before production starts.

If you can imagine it, we can help source it.

    Kitchens, vanities, wardrobes and custom carcass work

  • Staircases

    Timber, steel and glass balustrade systems

  • Timber and engineered flooring

    Solid, engineered and laminate, with logging due diligence handled

  • Tiles and natural stone

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.

  • Licence 389893C

  • Own staff based in China managing inspection

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.

Marks we specify to: WaterMark, WELS, RCM, AS 2047, AS 1288, AS/NZS 4386, AS 4586

Every order arrives with its own file: production inspection report, approved shop drawings, product certification, treatment and biosecurity paperwork, packing list and a landed cost breakdown.

Request the compliance guide

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.

Questions

Straight answers before you order.

If your question isn’t here, call 0481 228 836 and speak to the person who handles the order.

Is the quality actually good?

Many products sold in Australian showrooms are already made in China. We go to the factories directly, compare several per package, and approve samples before production.

Do I need to travel to China?

No. Our team in China visits factories, checks samples and inspects before shipping. If you want to come, we can organise the factory visits for you.

Will it meet Australian standards?

We check compliance before production, not after. Tapware and plumbing need WaterMark and WELS, windows need applicable Australian glazing evidence, timber needs biosecurity and legal-logging paperwork, and engineered stone can no longer be imported. If a product cannot comply, we tell you to buy it locally.

What happens if the factory changes the price?

Your accepted price is locked when you pay the deposit. Any proposed change must be requested in writing and approved by you before work continues.

Is importing right for every project?

No. Some items are better bought locally. We will tell you which packages are worth importing and which are not.

Can I see the product before it ships?

Yes. Our team can send photos and video from the factory floor, arrange samples where practical and walk you through the product before it is packed.

Do you supply engineered stone?

No. Engineered stone benchtops, panels and slabs have been prohibited from import into Australia since 1 January 2025. We quote compliant alternatives such as porcelain and natural stone instead.
