Disadvantages in approaching Façade Access Supplier directly
Since Façade Cleaning Systems are custom made products, the supplier’s always try to promote only their limited soluƟons during design stages.
Then during tender stage, it becomes difficult for other bidders to comply with given designs, non achievable budgets etc.
This makes easier for the iniƟal design provider to take the project in their favour during finalisaƟon for non negoƟable commercial values with high margin profits.
Then the client ends up with hidden surprises like safety deviaƟons, non compromise variaƟons, short warranƟes, maintenance, non availability of spare parts, accidents etc.
