INC. Business Matchmakers · Personal introductions
Timber and woodworking matched to your project’s use.
INC. Business Matchmakers discusses what you need and explores which personal introduction through our network could fit. You and the specialist then agree directly on the work to be carried out.
A timber component may need to look right, fit precisely and perform in a particular environment. INC. helps describe those requirements before exploring an introduction to appropriate timber supply or woodworking expertise.
Define the component and its setting
Explain indoor or outdoor use, dimensions, quantities and connection details. Share drawings and identify visible surfaces or critical fits. Ask which material characteristics, moisture considerations and construction details need assessment for the application. Structural or other performance-critical use requires suitable technical expertise, not selection by appearance alone.
Discuss finish, sourcing and consistency
Clarify species or material preferences, surface treatment and acceptable variation. Ask for samples where visual matching matters. If certified sourcing is required, request documentation for the actual supplied products and claims. A supplier’s general statement about sustainability should not replace the evidence your project needs.
Coordinate production with installation
Agree who measures, approves drawings and handles transport or assembly. Discuss storage conditions, protection and the order in which components are needed. INC. prepares the introduction; material supply, machining, finishing and installation are agreed directly with the relevant specialists, including handling of changes and replacement parts.
Frequently asked questions
Can we supply our own wood?
Describe its identity, condition and available quantity. Ask the maker to assess suitability and clarify responsibility for defects or extra preparation.
Can natural variation be avoided completely?
Discuss the appearance you need and request representative samples. Agree acceptable variation and selection criteria rather than assuming every piece will look identical.
What should we prepare before requesting a proposal?
Bring application, dimensions, quantity, finish and installation timing. Mark uncertain measurements clearly so they can be checked before production.
