Port de Mer Condominiums
Shower glass, vanity mirrors, and medicine cabinets — single-source supply saved $91,000 in vendor coordination and reduced from 3 suppliers to 1.
Port de Mer is a condominium development in Longueuil requiring shower glass, vanity mirrors, and medicine cabinets across three towers built in phases. The developer was coordinating 3 separate vendors, managing 3 different delivery schedules, and absorbing a 1.7% glass breakage rate that cost $19,000 on a previous tower. We consolidated everything under one contract, one schedule, one point of contact — and achieved a breakage rate of just 0.8% across 1,100+ individual glass pieces.
Financial Impact
Total project savings — vendor consolidation ($34K) + volume pricing ($38K) + breakage reduction guarantee ($19K)
Coordination savings — eliminated project management overhead of 3 separate vendors (glass, mirrors, cabinets)
Breakage cost savings — our packaging brought breakage rate down to 0.8% vs. the 1.7% industry-average across 1,100+ pieces
The Challenge
Three towers being built simultaneously with staggered completion dates — delivery had to match construction floor-by-floor
Previous project lost $19,000 to glass breakage in transit (1.7% industry rate across 1,100 pieces) — target was under 1%
Developer was managing 3 vendors (shower glass, vanity mirrors, cabinets) with 3 different timelines and contacts
Tight storage on-site — no space to warehouse more than 2 floors of material at any time
Condo association required consistent quality across all units — zero visible variation in glass, mirrors, or hardware
Our Solution
Single contract covering shower glass + vanity mirrors + medicine cabinets — one timeline, one invoice, one project manager
Custom crating with corner guards, surface film, and foam separators — engineered to minimize breakage
Just-in-time delivery: 2 floors of material per delivery, aligned exactly with framing completion dates
QC batch sampling: every 50th unit inspected for dimensional accuracy, surface quality, and hardware consistency
Staged manufacturing by tower: Tower A (Weeks 1-5), Tower B (Weeks 4-9), Tower C (Weeks 8-14) — overlapping production
Our Work
From Montréal to the world.
Frameless shower enclosure — consistent quality across all units
Vanity mirror and medicine cabinet — single-source supply
What Our Partners Say
On our last tower, we lost $19,000 to broken glass and spent 120 hours coordinating 3 vendors. With this approach, we had one phone number, breakage under 1%, and saved $91,000 total. We've already signed for Phase 2.
