We understand that building material costs have blown out bottom lines for many construction companies. With many head contractors having signed fixed price contracts with property owners or developers and subcontractors having signed fixed price contracts with head contractors. The shortage of building materials have led to an increase in building material costs which were not accounted for.
Covert Procurement will help builders and trades reduce costs on building materials by doing the following:
1. Purchase directly from the manufacturer
We will purchase Australian standard compliant building materials directly from the manufacturer. By doing this you will by-pass the margin that third party suppliers apply to all their products sold. By purchasing directly from the manufacturer you will have unlimited access to reduced prices for the same quality building materials, this will be more cost effective for your business which will enable you to stay within fixed price contracts.
2. Two partners one team
Our team are procurement specialists and negotiating the price in the customer’s favour is a major component of the procurement process. The main objective in our business model is to bring savings back to the end user so whether you are a head contractor, sub-contractor or owner builder we will strive to achieve the lowest price possible for you.
We treat ourselves as an extension of your procurement team so we negotiate with the manufacturer in order to get you the best deal possible.
As we like to say, we are two partners but one team.
