Innovative partnership for modular construction sourcing
Our client, an innovative construction technology company specializing in steel-based modular systems, partnered with CuB Consultants to source building materials from Turkey. Our client, a US-based company managing projects exceeding a budget of 1 billion USD, has been seeking new suppliers with the aim of achieving not only time and cost advantages but also high-quality outcomes.
Offsite construction model: Faster, smarter, greener
Through offsite manufacturing, the client completes 95% of construction before reaching the site, drastically reducing build time and improving quality. All processes follow the Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) philosophy, ensuring that design, production, and assembly are fully integrated.
Turkey’s sourcing advantage
Turkey has become an attractive sourcing hub for foreign companies in the modular construction and building materials sector. With a strong manufacturing base, skilled labor force, and strategic geographical location, the country offers competitive pricing and production that meets international quality standards—especially in steel, prefabricated components, insulation materials, and fastening systems. Its proximity to both European and Middle Eastern markets provides a significant logistical advantage, enabling faster delivery and flexible production capabilities. These factors make Turkey a highly appealing market for global firms seeking reliable suppliers for modular construction projects.
Scalable and sustainable modular solutions
By adopting an industrialized approach to modular construction, the company delivers repeatable, scalable, and sustainable results across all its projects. Each structure is optimized for time, cost-efficiency, and high performance.
CuB Consultants’ strategic sourcing support
CuB Consultants supported the client through each stage of supplier identification and coordination in Turkey:
- Research and identification of qualified local manufacturers
- Verification of certifications and compliance with quality standards
- Organizing an accredited inspection company to conduct on-site production audits.
- Communication support in the coordination of outbound logistics
- Providing communication support for customs, shipping, tariffs, and anti-dumping procedures.
Facilitating reliable supplier engagement
The initial phase included refining supplier profiles, forecasting purchase volumes, and establishing evaluation criteria with the client. CuB Consultants screened 11 potential manufacturers and organized video meetings with shortlisted suppliers. We joined these sessions to facilitate effective communication and confirmed our official role as the client’s local representative.
On-the-ground support in Turkey
Once a suitable local partner is identified, part-time field representation services are provided in Turkey by CuB Consultants as an extension of the client’s local team. All communication processes are managed, business partners are monitored, and any issues that arise are promptly resolved.
Enhancing efficiency and communication
We also supported renegotiation processes, arranged third-party solutions for inspection, shipping, and customs, and accompanied the client during their visits to ensure maximum efficiency.
