Sourcing construction materials in Luxembourg
Among Europe’s highest prices, and a posting to declare.
Luxembourg construction shows price levels among Europe’s highest, in a tight market where labour is largely cross-border. The gap with Lorraine, Wallonia or Saarland is structural across several material families, and wide enough to absorb transport on site volumes.
Exploiting it requires mastering two points. First the VAT applicable to immovable works, which does not follow the usual intra-EU reverse-charge rules. Second the posting declaration, mandatory before any foreign crew works on Luxembourg soil — its absence exposes the client as much as the contractor.

Services
What we take off your hands
Supplier sourcing & identification
You describe the need, we come back with 3 to 5 qualified, capable and available suppliers — not a 200-name directory.
RFQ & tender management
We write the RFQ, run it across the panel, chase the answers, and hand you a comparison grid where the bids are finally comparable.
Supplier audit & qualification
Documentary, financial and on-site verification before you commit. A failing supplier always costs more than the audit that would have ruled them out.
Negotiation & contracting
Negotiation is won before the meeting: a decomposed cost structure, credible alternatives, and a contract that holds when things go wrong.
Quality control & production follow-up
First article approved, in-line checks during the run, pre-shipment inspection. Defects get handled at the supplier, not on your dock.
Logistics, import & customs
Incoterm selection, freight organisation, customs paperwork and EU VAT handling. The landed price, not the ex-works price.
