The cost of selfbuild building materials to the self builder is affected by three main factors. The first factor is the lack of knowledge of the self builder. There is no doubt that it costs the builders' merchant more to service the needs of a self builder than a professional tradesman. The tradesman often knows exactly what materials he wants, how much he needs and when he needs it. The average self builder, however, is normally reliant on others to specify and quantify materials and, indeed, many merchants offer different types of "take off" services to attract this customer. The problem, of course, is that the self builder will not know if the materials and individual products chosen are providing best value. Another vital factor is spending volume. Most building material suppliers rely on a range of customers with different levels of spend, for example, a nationally acclaimed house builder may build several thousand homes each year and spend millions of pounds with their chosen suppliers.

A busy builder may spend huge amount in buying the materials. What is certain is that they buy the materials at different prices. Both pay "trade price" but at different levels. The more you spend, the cheaper the selfbuild building materials. Every business has a credit control policy and the builder merchant is no exception. A suitable credit limit is absolutely vital to a smooth running building project. The last thing a professional builder or a self builder wants is to have work stop as a result of lack of materials!
