Their client expected the designer&#8217;s intent to arrive intact, so substitutions had to be approved and every line had to be traceable from schedule to delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every Source Foshan project follows the same managed flow: brief, compared shortlist, one confirmed quote, orders placed with each supplier, production tracked with weekly photo updates, inspection against the confirmed specification, then consolidation into one shipment. The overview below shows how that flow applied to this scope. Client names, addresses and invoices are confidential; we share further detail, including the inspection report format, on request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sourcing\">What was sourced, and how?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For each line we returned two or three compared options with unit price, frame and cover materials and lead time, plus our recommendation. Approved lines went to the best-fit supplier: upholstery to a Longjiang factory, stone to a Foshan stone workshop, casegoods and joinery to specialists, decorative lighting from Lecong showrooms. The studio stayed front-of-house throughout; we worked as its China team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table sf-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Stage<\/th><th>What the studio received<\/th><th>Format<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Sourcing<\/td><td>Options sheet per line item<\/td><td>Spreadsheet with photos and factory notes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sampling<\/td><td>Fabric, stone and finish samples<\/td><td>Couriered sample sets<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Production<\/td><td>Weekly photo updates on open orders<\/td><td>One consolidated update<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pre-shipment<\/td><td>QC report per item<\/td><td>Photos and video against the spec<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Delivery<\/td><td>Packing lists by room, customs paperwork<\/td><td>Site-ready documents<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">How the schedule was handled<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large sf-figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sourcefoshan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/098-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Drawer of finish sample cards used when specifying furniture\" class=\"wp-image-286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sourcefoshan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/098-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sourcefoshan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/098-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sourcefoshan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/098.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Finish samples were confirmed against the designer&#8217;s schedule before production.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"quality-control\">What was checked before it shipped?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quality is built in through seven checkpoints rather than inspected once at the end: material selection, incoming inspection, production monitoring, assembly inspection, final quality check, packaging verification and shipment approval.
