Global Sourcing for
Construction Projects:
The Vireo Approach
Vireo Procurement Group is an architect-led procurement and sourcing consultancy connecting North American construction professionals with qualified manufacturers across Asia — managing the full process from quotation to delivery, with a single flat fee and no hidden markups.
Global Sourcing. Quality Delivered. Projects Built.
Flat-fee pricing, starting at $1,500 per project. No hidden charges, no markup on supplier pricing.
Going direct, a trading company, or Vireo?
Unlike trading companies, we are project-focused. Unlike manufacturers, we are product-neutral. Unlike freight forwarders, we understand construction. Vireo bridges the gap between design intent, technical specification, and global manufacturing capacity — operating as an extension of your purchasing department.
| Factor | Going Direct (DIY) | Trading Company | Vireo Procurement Group |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | You negotiate and pay suppliers directly, but carry the full sourcing and QC risk alone | Markup is often built into the product price, hard to see | Flat service fee starting at $1,500 — you pay suppliers directly, no markup |
| Project focus | No dedicated project manager on your side | Product-focused, not construction project-focused | Project-focused — acts as an extension of your purchasing team |
| Construction expertise | Depends entirely on your in-house knowledge | Often product-neutral but lacks construction context | 10+ years of combined construction sourcing & procurement experience |
| Point of contact | You manage every supplier and step yourself | Single contact, but limited technical/spec review | One point of contact from quotation through delivery |
| Where funds go | Direct payment, but no negotiation or vetting support | Funds often pass through a third party | No funds ever run through Vireo — you pay suppliers & logistics directly |
