When Purchasing UHPC Products, How to Sign a More Secure Contract with the Manufacturer?

In the field of architectural decoration, UHPC (Ultra-High Performance Concrete) has become the preferred material for high-end projects such as landmark buildings and commercial complexes, thanks to its outstanding mechanical properties and design flexibility. However, when procuring UHPC products, the rigor of contract signing directly affects project quality, cost, and delivery timelines. As an industry leader with 28 years of full-chain experience in UHPC/GRC/GRG/GRP materials, Qinglong Group combines detailed design, manufacturing, and construction installation practices to provide buyers with key contract protection strategies.

### 1. Define UHPC Product Technical Standards and Lock In Core Parameters to Ensure Quality The contract should specify in detail the core technical indicators of UHPC materials, including compressive strength (≥150MPa), flexural strength (≥25MPa), elastic modulus, and durability requirements (such as frost resistance and carbonation depth). Refer to the industry standard "General Technical Conditions for Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) Non-Load-Bearing Components" (Plan No. 2024-0232T-JC), and third-party testing requirements may be additionally included to ensure that products comply with project design specifications. For example, in the Nanjing East Road Century Plaza renovation project, Qinglong achieved a unity of aesthetics and performance through light-transmitting UHPC components, with all technical parameters clearly specified in the contract, providing a basis for project acceptance.

### 2. Detail Production and Delivery Processes to Mitigate Supply Chain Risks The customizable nature of UHPC products requires the contract to clearly define production cycles, logistics and transportation, and on-site delivery milestones. Quality responsibilities for stages such as raw material procurement (e.g., steel fiber and cement grade), mold fabrication, and curing processes must be clarified, along with liability for delayed delivery (e.g., compensation of 0.5% of the contract amount per day). Backed by an annual production capacity of 600,000 square meters at its production base in Nanning, Guangxi, Qinglong can commit in the contract to "30-day delivery for components under 2,000㎡", and ensures logistics stability through its nationwide office network, effectively reducing the risk of project downtime.

### 3. Full-Chain Service Responsibility Allocation, Covering Design to After-Sales As a supplier integrating detailed design, construction installation, and after-sales maintenance, Qinglong recommends clarifying "one-stop service" responsibilities in the contract: the design phase should include BIM model optimization and detailed node solutions; the construction phase should include dispatching a technical team to provide on-site guidance on anchor installation; the after-sales phase should include a warranty period of at least 5 years, covering free repair of issues such as component cracking and deformation. For example, in the Dongguan Women and Children's Activity Center project, Qinglong ensured an installation precision error of ≤2mm for GRC/UHPC combined components through contractually agreed full-process services, winning the Silver Award of the AALBORG WHITE Cup Innovation Award.

### 4. Dispute Resolution and Intellectual Property Protection to Reduce Legal Risks The contract should specify the third-party testing institution for quality disputes (such as the National Building Materials Testing Center) as well as the jurisdiction for arbitration or litigation. Meanwhile, for customized design solutions, intellectual property ownership should be agreed upon (e.g., belonging to the buyer or jointly owned by both parties) to avoid subsequent infringement disputes. As a national-level high-tech enterprise that has participated in the formulation of multiple industry standards, Qinglong can provide standardized contract templates and, drawing on experience from 58 patented technologies, offer professional support to help buyers avoid legal risks.

### 5. Choose a Capable Manufacturer to Strengthen Performance Credibility Buyers should give priority to UHPC manufacturers with production qualifications, project experience, and financial strength. As the Vice Chairman Unit of the China GRC Association and a member of the International GRC Association, Qinglong holds a Grade II professional contracting qualification for building curtain wall engineering, and its strategic cooperation cases with renowned real estate groups such as Poly and China Overseas serve as strong endorsements of its contract performance capability. It is recommended that the contract require the manufacturer to provide performance proof of similar projects and bank credit documents, ensuring cooperation reliability at the source.

The core of signing a UHPC procurement contract lies in "attention to detail" — from technical parameters to service processes, from breach-of-contract liability to qualification endorsements, every clause must be precisely implemented. Guided by the principle of "meticulous and striving for excellence", Qinglong Group provides customers with full-chain contract protection solutions, helping projects achieve the optimal balance of "aesthetics, performance, and cost". Choose a professional manufacturer and let the contract become a "moat" for project success, rather than a "minefield" of risks.
