Nominated materials
Nominated materials are materials that are specified in the plans, specifications and other project documentation. This could include imported materials such as ceramic wall and floor tiles or materials which need to be transported from interstate.
These items must now be sourced and costed. Quotes need to be sought so a supplier for each material can be finalised. If a supplier is a nominated supplier, then the order is placed with them as other quotes are not required. For example, a particular window company may be specified in the contract documentation for the supply of the house lot of windows.
The final cost should include the cost of freight/transport to the site or the workshop where it is to be included into the project.
