There are many times during a trademans life where we need to call on the experience and skills of building material suppliers. Regardless of the scale and cost of the job, you need to be able to trust that company, large or small to deliver on cost and service.Finding a trusted building material supplier  can be very difficult to identify, especially for those without much prior knowledge or experience in dealing with people in trades.

So therefore, how can you find a building material suppliers who has not only the skills, but the level of mutual trust to work for you? It is a vitally important question for many up and down the country, especially as we now live in a climate where the media paints disturbing stories of suppliers going out of business each month.

Firstly, it is a good idea to ask your business colleagues, other trades and similar trades for any recommendations. They can give you a detailed analysis of the building material suppliers, their level of service, costs and their promise to deliver on time.

Visit their premises, check what stock they carry, what type of delivery vehicles they use, are they their own vehicles or do they use a third party? Do they offer an account? What are their payment terms?

Not all building material suppliers have their own premises. The rise of the internet and online sales have triggered a boom in the “middle man”, where small companies are working from home or a small office and still offer a great service. However, these you cannot visit for that last minute order, the small order you need at the last minute or was forgotten on the order.

However, where these small online suppliers might be more successful, is in their pricing, their overheads are much smaller and can reflect in their prices to you. They also will go out of their way to get hard to source supplies. They also generally have a large network of suppliers, not reliant on one delivery a week or so but can go to more than one supplier, and with better buying power than you, can get supplies, materials at reduced cost, passing on these savings to you.

Try the Building Shop, a small independent supplier, working from an office with an online presence. They will go out of their way that a larger supplier might not, to get you the materials YOU want, deliver it when YOU at prices YOU also want!!
