Top 10 Lights Nairobi Developers Are Ordering In Bulk Right Now

A shortlist is useful only if it becomes a supply plan

For a development, the fitting is one part of the decision. You also need to know how many are required, whether the finish can be kept consistent and when the products can reach the project. A compelling unit price does not answer those questions on its own.

Use the ten fittings below as a starting shortlist rather than a complete specification. The right selection depends on your unit types, intended buyer, budget and handover programme. A feature that suits a show unit may not belong in every apartment or common area.

Build the schedule around unit types

List the rooms for each unit type, the quantity of each fitting and the finish required. Separate common areas and show units from repeated residential units. This prevents a small quantity error in the room schedule from being multiplied across the project.

Add product dimensions and any installation requirements that matter to the site team. If a choice is provisional, mark it clearly. An approved schedule should make it possible for procurement, delivery and installation teams to identify the same product without interpreting a mood board differently.

Compare quotations on the same basis

Ask how quantity and order value affect the applicable price, and whether the quoted discount applies to every item. Confirm VAT treatment, delivery, bulbs or drivers and installation separately. A project total is meaningful only when the inclusions and exclusions are clear.

The unit prices in this article are starting references. Request a current written quote against your quantities and timing before budgeting the final purchase. Ask how long the quote remains valid and what happens if the scope or delivery schedule changes.

For the buyer comparing those totals, a corrected schedule comes before a percentage saving. Only after the quantities, specifications and inclusions match can the quotations support a meaningful commercial decision.

Approve the detail before repeating it

Where practical, discuss a sample or first-unit approval before committing the same selection throughout the project. Check the finish and dimensions against the intended room. Have the installer confirm the product requirements on site.

Then agree how substitutions, shortages or damaged items will be handled. Do not assume that a visually similar product will have the same finish, dimensions or requirements. Record who can approve a change so a supply issue does not become a different specification without the project team noticing.

Send a project brief, not just a request for the best price

Include the project location, unit count, room schedule or quantities, preferred fittings and target dates. Add a floor plan if it is available, but do not delay the initial discussion because one document is missing. Explain whether you need staged deliveries and which units or areas come first.
