When comparing HVAC suppliers in Qatar, compare the same requirement. A price for an incomplete list cannot be compared fairly with a price covering equipment, fittings and accessories. Start with a defined scope, then contact the Doha branch to discuss the categories Refco Supply already showcases.
Define what the supplier is being asked to supply
List each item with a reference, quantity and unit of measure. Separate equipment from installation materials and consumables. Identify whether the enquiry concerns a new project or replacement parts for existing equipment. Share the approved specification or relevant drawing revision; avoid asking several suppliers to interpret different versions of the same requirement.
Compare the response, not just the total
Check which lines are included, excluded or proposed as alternatives. Ask for availability and the collection or delivery arrangement to be confirmed for your order; do not infer a delivery promise from a location page. Questions about installation design should remain with the project's qualified professional. Supply support and site installation are different responsibilities.
A practical enquiry example
If one response includes fittings and another excludes them, add the missing lines before comparing totals. A simple included/excluded column makes the difference visible without assuming that either supplier has supplied a complete installation package.
Put comparable enquiries in the same format
Send a schedule using these column headings: Item number | Reference | Description | Quantity | Unit | Approved specification. At the top, add Project location: [Qatar location] and Drawing/specification revision: [reference and date]. Ask the response to mark each line “exact match”, “alternative requiring approval” or “not included”. For each proposed alternative, request its reference and supporting specification so the responsible technician can review it. Compare the same quantities, units and accessories across replies; a lower total that excludes a line is a different supply scope. This format makes responses comparable without claiming any particular item is in stock.
Contact the Doha office for the order details
The Doha branch page provides the office address at The Pearl, opening hours and direct contact channels. Send your schedule before arranging a visit and ask which lines can be supplied, what documentation is available and how the order will be handed over. The Doha branch provides delivery within Qatar only. Confirm the timing and delivery details for your requirement directly with the team. Refco technical support can be requested through contact channels, office visits or a requested site visit; identify the application and question when arranging help.
Enquiry checklist
- One shared specification revision
- Clear quantities and units
- Written identification of alternatives
- Confirmed arrangements with the Doha branch
Should I compare suppliers by the cheapest total?
Only after checking that the totals cover the same items and approved specifications. An omitted accessory or unsuitable substitute can make a low total misleading.
Discuss your requirement with Refco
Prepare the approved references and quantities, then contact the branch to confirm availability and collection details before visiting.
