Our team works hand-in-hand with the Owner, Design, and Project Teams to lock in lead times, pricing, and pre-purchase equipment earlier than the traditional procurement process allows. SourceBlue clients have the agility and market intelligence to overcome traditional supply chain obstacles.
Secure production time slots early in the
design process Release component for fabrication while the balance of the design work is completing An extensive array of vendors, relationships, and experience for consideration Strategic procurement schedule established early to avoid unnecessary escalation costs National level engagement with vendors, provide access to information and opportunities not other realized Significant purchasing volumes allow for discussions with vendors at the national level to hinder such practices
Equipment lead times are 2 to 3 times longer
Designs are not finalized when equipment needs to
be bought Buildings are “locked in” on sole-source manufacturers, and competition eliminates Escalation continues to increase price while buys
are delayed Opportunities to find cost savings from manufacturer specific VE options are missed Price gouging when late changes are necessaryOur holistic approach fosters trust and alignment, ensuring open communication and real-time visibility for optimized efficiency and mutual success.
