A building material puts a whole project on the line — and often a ten-year warranty.
Tiles whose caliber varies from one batch to the next, faucets without ACS or WRAS approval, joinery whose thermal performance is not substantiated, flooring and wall coverings without a fire rating: in construction, non-compliance is paid for on the job site and in front of the insurer.
Our teams, as close to the factories as possible.
Our building category, led by a former purchasing manager at a building materials distributor, requires declarations of performance (DoP) and CE marking under the Construction Products Regulation, has products tested in a lab (slip resistance, frost resistance, strength, reaction to fire, Uw of window and door units) and inspects every container: colors, sizes, packaging and palletization.

Frequently asked questions.
Do you work with trading companies and big-box retailers?
Yes: we know their specifications (packaging, labeling, DoP, technical data sheets) and prepare listing submissions.
Can you supply export projects outside Europe?

Do you handle custom joinery?
Yes, from your measurements, with approved pre-production runs and thermal performance calculations.
