Hi Everyone,
Our plans and my price comparisons for our new home are growing nicely and I want to share some vital info with you.....
So you're about to start building. Your plans are approved and you're excited to get going! Stop, wait and save money! You'll often be told that Wholesale building supply is the way to go, but is it?
It doesn't matter whether it's a brand new home or an add on. The cheapest discount building supply will be to buy Wholesale Building Supply. Now there are so many companies that have "Wholesale Building Supply" as part of their marketing or branding, that's it's difficult to choose the right one. And the honest one! We where quite surprised at the differences we found in price when sourcing
wooden garage doors.
First I think we need to look at the meaning of Wholesale Building Supply. Wholesale building suppliers sell large quantities of building supply to building supply stores to then be retailed to you. That's according to the meaning of the word wholesale (Oxford Dictionary).
Now unless you're building a brand new house that uses a large quantity of building supply, you may not be buying from a Wholesale Building Supplier. Even though you think you are.
Often these Wholesale Building Supply companies are really just retailers. There price is no better then your local Building Supply Store.
So don't take their word for it. Compare prices, and always, always, always, ask for a discounted Building Supply price. Even if you only get a 2% discount. On a large project the discount received will be large enough to pay for things like, an extra kitchen cupboard or one rooms' carpets.
When looking for true Wholesale building supply, I've learned to forget the advertising of various Building Supply Stores. I feel it's best to go to the source!
If it's Log Home Building Supply or Stock Home Building Supply. Go to the manufacturer of the product you need.
If your building a log home, then make sure whoever you're buying your timber from has their own saw mill. That way you know, you're getting your Log Home Building Supply from the manufacturer of the wood. You're not buying from a Wholesale Building Supply Store, that has bought the wood from the manufacturer. This way you're guaranteed of getting the best price.
If your looking for Stock Home Building Supply, and you're wanting to buy bricks, don't go to the Wholesale Building Supply store. Go straight to the brick yard, where the bricks are made. This way you're guaranteed of getting the best price.
As we begin to plan the building of our own home, and we compare prices and quality of products, we're finding it is definitely a tricky business. Just because the Building Supply Store promises Wholesale Building Supply, doesn't necessarily mean that they do have Wholesale Building Supply prices.
My husband is quite keen to have us install a hot tub, but one of my concerns is what
hot tub chemicals we'll have to buy. With the family all pushing to get a
portable hot tub, I think that I'm all out of excuses not to get one.
No matter what you're building from a small wooden picket fence to a mansion of a home, do your research, compare the prices offered by Wholesale Building Supply stores,
to the prices offered by the manufacturer. And always remember to ask for that discounted building supply price. No matter how reasonable the price seems, ask for a discount anyway. You'll be surprised at the amount of money you'll save.
Happy Building Supply hunting.
Susan
PS. I almost forgot! Always ask them for the delivery charge that you're going to have to pay to get your Building Supply to your site. This charge may be the difference between using one Building Supply Store or another! You'll be shocked at the prices they sometimes charge!
