PROCURE

| GENERAL INFORMATION | 828’s procurement service is self-performed, including full time
828 procurement coordinators. The installation is provided through careful selection that includes
professional installers with whom we have partnered in the past or have been referred to. No day
laborers are used for any of our installations. To obtain the best price for our clients we negotiate
buying agreements direct with the manufacturers to ensure we obtain the best price for you. Any
savings incurred are passed on to the Owner.
