Before you release a purchase order.
Use these questions to compare suppliers against the same technical and delivery scope.
Can a standard carrier lift any modular house?
No. The module designer must approve pick points, load distribution and allowable deformation before the lifting package is selected.
What is the minimum order?
Ask for a quotation for one complete machine. Confirm the commercial minimum and exactly which attachments and services are included.
Which certificates and tests are included?
List the destination-specific compliance documents, factory acceptance test and site load or travel tests in the purchase specification.
How long will delivery take?
Request a dated factory dispatch commitment measured from deposit and approved drawings; show freight, erection and commissioning separately.
