Browse Forums Owner Builder Forum 1 Jul 20, 2009 4:01 pm Has anyone tried to get a bulk discount from any of these suppliers? I wonder how much discount, if any, they would offer if getting all the building material from the same company. Would anyone like to share their experiences? Boral Bricks, Cornice, Pavers, Plasterboard, Roof Tiles, Timber Decking , Timber Flooring (I've already asked Dowell windows and doors but appearently it is a Boral Company which operates independently so no further discount) Stegbar Wardrobes, shower screens, windows and doors, mirrors CSR Bradford Insulation, GyprockTM Plasterboard, HebelTM Lightweight Concrete, Monier Roof tiles, PGH Bricks and Pavers Re: Bulk discount / Buying power with Boral, CSR and Stegbar 2Jul 21, 2009 2:58 pm I've already got a windows quote from Stegbar but they can't provide me with quotes for any of the other things as they first need to measure, and since the house hasn't been built yet that's not possible (yet). I asked them how much discount (overall) I could get if I was to get all those things from them and they said: "Unfortunately we are not allowed to reveal our discounts, however we would definitely look after you if you decided to go that way" Does anyone have any idea as to how much they might offer? Re: Bulk discount / Buying power with Boral, CSR and Stegbar 4Jul 21, 2009 3:11 pm borg boral have different reps for different divisions so it is very hard. Hard but possible or hard/impossible? Re: Bulk discount / Buying power with Boral, CSR and Stegbar 5Jul 21, 2009 3:15 pm My Opinion is dont limit yourself from where you buy stuff. Shop around and buy whats good at the time. I think the only way you will get a discount from all divsions is if you are a fairly big builder. Would also like an opinion from anyone that has used xcem over hebel for floors.
