Before you commit

Use these resources before the project becomes a pricing problem.

These resources are designed to help you think clearly before committing to a qualified offshore manufacturing path. They are not quotations, proposals, or promises of suitability — just practical materials to help you ask better questions.

The goal is simple: understand the commercial case, the capability fit, the risk boundaries, and whether the project is worth a proper feasibility review.

Short video explainers

Three quick ways to understand the ProLink pathway.

These short videos are intended for joinery company owners who want the point quickly: what ProLink does, whether the numbers work, and why going direct still requires control.

What ProLink Does
A concise overview of how ProLink helps assess whether selected joinery projects should be explored through a wider manufacturing pathway.
Does the Money Work?
Factory price is not enough. The real question is whether the full landed cost leaves margin worth having.
Why Not Go Direct?
Going direct can look simple from the outside. This video explains the invisible work behind factory selection, technical coordination, production control, and issue management.

Risk & Responsibility

Offshore manufacturing does not remove risk. It makes responsibility worth defining earlier.

The right question is not whether risk exists. It is whether the critical risk points are visible, documented, and assigned before production starts.

  • Your client relationship, design approval, site measure, installation, and final client experience remain yours.
  • ProLink’s scope is defined around feasibility assessment, factory suitability review, technical clarification, production checkpoints, and pre-shipment review coordination.
  • Not every risk can be removed. The point is to make risk visible before it becomes a site problem.
During project review

Capability evidence is shared in context.

ProLink Capability Reference is a curated selection of photography from manufacturing partners, covering residential joinery, commercial joinery, specialist materials, and complex geometry. It is not a public download.

Relevant examples are shared selectively during the project review process, where specific capability is relevant to the project being assessed.

Project-specific review

Have a project you are weighing up?

Start with the free Feasibility Check and get a preliminary indication of whether a ProLink route is worth assessing — or whether local production is the better call for this particular project.

These resources are general guides only. They do not confirm that any project is suitable for offshore manufacturing and do not replace a proper project-specific feasibility review. Any suitability view, cost range, timeline, or manufacturing pathway must be assessed against the specific project information provided.
