Five gates.
Pass them, or you're not in.

For designers, developers, hospitality, and institutional buyers. Apply once. DAF becomes your procurement partner on every project — one contract, one point of contact.

01 — The qualifier
01
Documentation

Business registration, design credentials, factory audits, COI. Before we talk pricing, we know who we're working with.

02
Volume

Annual minimum + a commitment letter. Pricing reflects the working relationship. One-time buyers use the retail path.

03
Standards

Spec template alignment before the first project. We propose, you sign off in writing. No surprises mid-brief.

04
Lead times

Lead times agreed in writing by category before sourcing begins. Tracked against actuals. Honest, on paper.

05
Onboarding

One Specialist, one account, one master agreement. Apply once — the relationship covers every project from here.

Every trade account is a contract — not a listing

02 — Who we work with

Four lanes.One procurement stack.

I.
Designers

Residential and commercial studios. Spec packages, sample programs, signed schedules. Your client sees your name, not ours.

II.
Developers

Multifamily, condominium, mixed-use. Volume sourcing, phased rollouts, spec kept on file for repeat projects.

III.
Hospitality

Hotels, restaurants, members clubs. Brand-standard kits sourced per brief, OS&E integration on request.

IV.
Institutional

Government, education, healthcare. Bid-compliant, spec-graded, documentation audit-ready at every stage.

Workshop network

We know where every piece comes from.Because we source it.

Every piece in your plan carries a maker name and a city — not a catalog code. We have direct relationships with workshops that don't advertise. You access them through the 20% fee.

The fee
0%

Flat. Always.On supplier cost only.

B2B procurement

Commercial structure.One agreement. Every project.

Trade accounts run differently. One master agreement, project addenda, phased delivery, and repeat sourcing from the same spec. Below is how it works.

01Master agreement
Week 1
DAF + Client

Single contract covers all projects under the account. No new agreement per brief — just a project addendum. Lead times and scope are locked before sourcing begins.

02Project addendum
Per project
DAF + Client

Each brief generates an addendum to the master agreement. Scope, budget, timeline, and sourcing plan are locked. No new legal review — the master covers it. Signature to start: 24 hours or less.

03Phased delivery
Per schedule
DAF

Commercial orders ship in phases if the site isn't ready for everything at once. We coordinate phase windows with the site manager, hold pieces when needed, and deliver to a schedule that works for the fit-out.

04Repeat sourcing
Ongoing
DAF

For repeat clients: the spec is kept on file. A follow-on order doesn't require a new brief — we reference the original sourcing plan and quote from there.
