How to spend less on building supplies

Shopping for home building supplies to update or build anew does not have to be expensive. With the right preparation and the following tips below, you’ll get your walls, floors, roofs and base covered for less bucks!

• Plan right! Failing to create a sound plan for your building can end up costing more in the long run. When planning, account for the possible timeframe, check for seasonal changes (heavy snow and rain periods can halt the construction), the availability of your contractors and the budget. Having to wait long periods in between construction means time and money lost.
• Ask for several quotes from different contractors. Compare their prices and check the breakdowns. Having a table of breakdown costs for each separate section of your building can help you track expenses and effectively reallocate and maximise resources.
• Shop during season sales for huge discounts. Building supplies for decks are the cheapest during late summer to early fall. Meanwhile the first few weeks of the new year are the golden time to trade building supplies since suppliers are willing to cut off prices to keep the cash flowing.
• Some dealers of local building supplies and liquidation stores also sell used materials in good working condition – so take advantage of this.
• Always buy bulk building supplies over retail prices where possible. Suppliers are often very willing to reduce prices, and sometimes offer free delivery services if you opt buying in wholesale.
