Questions buyers ask买家常问

Can you send an engineer to install?可以派工程师安装吗?
Yes, on request. We quote supervision separately — flights, visa, accommodation and daily rate — and most clients find local labour plus our remote video guidance is enough.可以,需单独报价(机票、签证、食宿与日薪)。多数客户用当地工人配合我们的远程视频指导即可完成安装。
What happens if I change the drawings after production starts?生产开始后改图纸怎么办?
Changes before fabrication are free. Once steel is cut, we quote the delta and adjust the schedule — which is why step 5 matters more than any other.下料前修改免费;钢材一旦切割,我们按增量报价并顺延工期——这也是第 5 步最关键的原因。
Can I inspect before paying the balance?付尾款前可以验货吗?
Yes. Inspection can be arranged before loading; the 70% balance is due before shipment.可以。装柜前可安排验货,70% 尾款发货前付清。
Can you ship to my port?能发到我的港口吗?
We quote FOB Chinese ports as standard, and CIF to most major ports on request. Tell us the destination and we will compare routes.标准报 FOB 中国港口,可按需报 CIF 至主要港口。告知目的港,我们会比较航线给出方案。

Wondering about the budget?想先了解预算范围?

Standard uninsulated workshops start at USD 35–40 per m² — see the full price guide.无保温标准厂房 35–40 美金/平方米起,详见价格指南。
