Project evidence archive

Evidence is tiered. ‘Verified Project’ means UBI checked a project-specific contractor or system-provider document; it does not mean UBI inspected the site. ‘Manufacturer Reference’ remains a supplier declaration until owner, architect or handover evidence is obtained.

Frequently asked questions

01Is this product project-ready?

It is currently an opportunity-identified product. Supplier, technical, compliance and project evidence remains pending.

02Are the images completed projects?

No. They are generated application illustrations used to communicate design intent and system boundaries.

03Can UBI provide a quotation now?

UBI can start supplier screening and clarification after receiving the country, project type, duty, quantity and delivery programme.

04Which documents are required?

The document center lists the minimum technical, safety, installation, warranty and O&M package; exact requirements depend on the project and jurisdiction.

05How is the country index calculated?

It combines climate fit, project demand, delivery practicality, compliance complexity and available local evidence. It is not a sales or investment-return forecast.
