Full House Furnishing from China: For Developers and Villa Owners

Furniture, tiles, kitchen cabinets, sanitary ware, lighting, doors and windows — all sourced from Foshan, consolidated into one shipment, managed by one contact. Here’s how it works.


Foshan is not just a furniture hub. It’s also China’s largest production centre for ceramic tiles, a major manufacturer of kitchen cabinets and sanitary ware, and one of the primary sources for architectural aluminium systems and decorative lighting. Which means that for a developer furnishing 20 villas, or a homeowner doing a complete property fit-out, everything needed — from the sofa in the living room to the tiles in the bathroom — can be sourced, quality-checked, and shipped in a single container from one geographic hub.

We manage full-house projects for residential developers, villa owners, and boutique hospitality operators who want consolidated procurement from China without managing twenty supplier relationships themselves.

Who this works well for

Good fit
  • Property developers furnishing multiple units
  • Villa owners doing a complete fit-out
  • Boutique hotel and guesthouse operators
  • Buyers who’ve priced locally and need better value
  • Importers with established freight arrangements
Not a good fit
  • Single-room or sub-container orders
  • Buyers needing delivery in under 10 weeks
  • Anyone wanting local warranty infrastructure
  • Buyers without confirmed site measurements for cabinets and windows

How the process works

Full-house projects follow a structured process. The buyers who get the best results are those who come with a clear specification — not necessarily a finished interior design, but a room-by-room list of what’s needed, with dimensions where relevant. Here’s how we run it:

Step 1 — BOQ and Brief

We start from your Bill of Quantities — a room-by-room list of every item, with dimensions, material preferences, and quantities. If you have an interior designer, their FF&E schedule is the ideal starting point. If not, we’ll help you structure a basic BOQ from floor plans.

Step 2 — Supplier Matching & Quote

Each category gets matched to the appropriate factories. We don’t use one factory for everything — we use the right factory per category, then coordinate between them. You receive a single consolidated quote.

Step 3 — Sample Approval

Physical samples of significant furniture pieces, plus tile and material samples for approval. Nothing enters bulk production without a confirmed approval on record.

Step 4 — Production & QC

We monitor production across suppliers against the schedule. Pre-shipment inspections are conducted for all significant furniture items. Building materials are checked against approved samples.

Step 5 — Consolidation & Shipment

All items are consolidated at one point, container is packed and supervised, export documentation is handled, and we coordinate with your freight forwarder. One container, everything inside.

Realistic timelines

A full-house project typically runs 4–20 weeks from brief to arrival at your destination port, depending on complexity and destination. This includes BOQ finalisation, sampling, production, QC, consolidation, and sea freight. We always begin by mapping your required delivery date and working backwards to establish order deadlines — the earlier we start, the more comfortable the timeline.
