Imported materials can give your home a level of design quality that is difficult to find domestically. But they require earlier planning than local purchases. The key is understanding the timeline and building it into your project schedule from the start.
Start Material Selection Before Demolition
The biggest mistake is waiting until the walls are open to start choosing materials. Premium imported products need 6 to 8 weeks from order to delivery. If you start selecting materials before demolition begins, the products arrive exactly when your contractor needs them.
Work With Your Contractor Early
Share the sourcing timeline with your contractor from day one. They need to know when materials will arrive so they can schedule rough in work, electrical, plumbing, and installation in the right sequence.
DDP Shipping Eliminates Surprises
KOVAIRE uses DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping. This means all customs, duties, and freight costs are included in the quoted price. There are no surprise fees at delivery. The price you see is the price you pay.
The Result Is Worth the Planning
Homeowners who plan early get access to materials that are not available at local retailers, at pricing that is competitive with domestic options but with significantly higher quality.
