Sourcing & supply
Material sourcing across every category
One requirement, one quotation, one delivery — including material we do not stock.
What Obra sources
Obra is a sourcing and supply business. Send a requirement — a list, a BOQ, a photograph of a part, or a description of what the job needs — and one quotation comes back covering all of it.
Nothing here is confirmed with the supplier. Availability, brand, specification and lead time are confirmed on quotation. That is the point of a sourcing business: the specification is matched to the requirement rather than to whatever happens to be on a shelf.

How sourcing works
1 · Send the requirement
A material list, a BOQ, a photograph, a part number, or a description. Mixed categories in one list are normal — that is the point.
2 · We source and confirm
Availability, brand options, specification and lead time confirmed against suppliers. Alternatives offered where the exact item is slow or discontinued.
3 · One quotation
Everything on one document, priced, with lead times stated per line. Not five quotations from five suppliers.
4 · One delivery
Consolidated where possible, staged where the site needs it. Delivery is quoted by location and load.
Hard to find
Obsolete parts, discontinued fittings, non-standard sizes, single spares. Send a photograph and the measurements — identification is part of the sourcing process.
Repeat lists
Monthly consumable and maintenance lists held on file and re-quoted against current rates, so the same list does not have to be rebuilt each time.
Who this is for
Contractors
Mixed material lists across trades, site delivery, staged supply against a programme.
Projects and builders
BOQ pricing, alternatives where a specification is unavailable, stage-wise delivery.
Factories and workshops
MRO, consumables, spares and machine supply. Repeat purchase lists.
Hotels, villas and facilities
Maintenance kits, cleaning supply, replacement fittings, repeat monthly lists.
Offices and shops
Fit-out material, replacement items, safety equipment and consumables.
Private customers
One item or a whole list. The same process applies at any size.
How you receive it
Obra sources and supplies products. It does not run a shelf. That is deliberate — holding stock across every category would mean stocking none of it deeply. Sourcing means the specification is matched to the requirement rather than to whatever happens to be in the building.
Delivered
The usual route. Consolidated onto one delivery where the items allow, staged where the site needs it. Delivery is quoted by location and load.
Collection
Arranged and confirmed when the order is ready. The collection point is confirmed on the quotation, with the day and time.
Direct from supplier
For bulk, machines and project quantities, supplier-direct delivery is often faster and cheaper than routing through us. Quoted either way so you can choose.
Add an item to your requirement
Anything, from any category. Build the whole list here and send it once — paint, steel, a machine, a spare part and a BOQ line can sit on the same enquiry.
Cannot name it? Add what you can — “fridge door seal, model on the plate” is enough to start. Photographs can be attached when you send the list.
Send a requirement
A list, a BOQ, a photograph or a description. One quotation comes back.
