Purchasing steel casing is a highly technical and logical task, especially when it comes to selecting steel casing with good quality and after-sales service. A successful casing procurement not only meets the required specifications and quality standards, but also shows impressive cost-effectiveness and directly reduces the overall budget. Based on numerous purchasing experiences, the following general tips for selecting steel casing have been summarized.
1、 Prioritize qualifications
When it comes to checking supplier qualifications, it seems that many companies have this step in their procurement process. However, in addition to verifying the manufacturer's own business license and production standards, the qualification inspection of steel casing also requires careful study of various parameters of the steel casing product itself and background issues such as whether it has patents. That is to say, adding some bonus points to the basic items to screen out high-quality products.
2、 Check the source of materials
The material source refers to the raw materials used to make the steel casing. There are two main reasons for tracing its source. On the one hand, if the raw materials pass the inspection, it indicates that the quality of the products produced using them is relatively more guaranteed. On the other hand, if the manufacturer can directly purchase raw materials for production, there is more room for price reduction. When purchasing in large quantities, it is more likely to negotiate and transact at a low price.
3、 Check delivery capability
Steel casing is used in large-scale construction or civil engineering projects, and those who have experience in operating such projects are very aware of the impact of project duration on costs. Therefore, the ability to deliver goods on time and with quality is an important factor in testing the service level of steel casing. If you choose a cheaper steel casing supplier but delay delivery, resulting in a delay in project duration, the savings in procurement costs and loss of work are nothing compared to a drop in the bucket.
Any materials used in the construction process must be carefully checked before use, otherwise it will pose safety hazards, affect use, and even endanger life. The role of steel casing in civil defense and waterproofing determines that its quality issues cannot be ignored. When purchasing, principles should be upheld but communication with suppliers should be flexible to ensure that suitable manufacturers can be selected and long-term cooperation can be maintained.
