Project communication and approvals

French documentation can support quotations and approvals, but the most important project language remains accurate drawings. Every manufactured element should carry a reference number that matches the packing list and installation sheet.

Climate and material strategy

Humid tropical conditions can influence timber movement, coating performance, storage and subfloor readiness. External metalwork and roof elements should be detailed for drainage and corrosion resistance, while finished timber products should remain protected from uncontrolled site moisture before installation.

Export, packing and site readiness

Long-distance shipping makes packaging quality part of the product specification. Crates should protect carved edges and finished surfaces, while moisture-sensitive items should not be left exposed during site storage. The local contractor should confirm unloading equipment and a dry, secure storage area.

Product strategy for Guinea

Projects can be structured in phases: first dome/minaret and major exterior elements, then qibla-wall furniture and doors, followed by carpet and lighting. This can help committees align spending with construction progress without ordering decorative components before the building is ready.

What to send for a quotation

• Project city, current construction stage and target completion date.
• Architectural plans, elevations and sections in PDF or DWG where available.
• Dome diameter and rise; minaret quantity and height where these are in scope.
• Qibla-wall width and height for mihrab, minbar and cladding coordination.
• Door schedule, carpet area, ceiling height and lighting scope where relevant.
• Preferred material/finish references and a realistic budget range.
• Whether local installation labour, crane/lifting equipment and protected storage are available.
