We don't have a big box moving hardware store where we live or even one close by that made it economical to have goods shipped in. We worked with local suppliers and once the know your an owner builder, they are happy to work with you. Mostly I dealt with quote per job and don't have a fixed "trade" price. I'd just walk in with my shopping list and they would normally email me a quote the same day. For any adhoc purchases, the hardware store provided be a tradie card ( screws, odd sticks of timber, paslode nails and gas etc). They also offered a credit account if you are willing to set one up and can provide references. This was a bit of a catch 22 for me as I'm not in the building industry , nor am I self employed. My hardware store and bathroom/kitchen/tile/plumbing places all gave up with me doing small transactions in the end and just gave me a credit account once I proved I was a good payer. Now when I walk if for anything, i get it at a trade price automatically. We have since finished building, but we still have all of our trade accounts in place. Overall the people I dealt with were very friendly and professional. Like others say, it all comes down to volume as to the discounts you will see. Good luck with your build. The irony. I'm starting to wonder if this a Bimguys second account. 84 29254 I recently went through a similar renovation and move scenario when updating our family home. We also swapped some rooms around and tackled a major… 2 3672 nothing to do with salespeole. you'd do well to read and ccomprehend the post before bashing away at the keys with some negative comment again. 4 5044 |
