New Construction Building Tip - Purchase Through Your Builder

New Construction Building Tip - Purchase Through Your Builder

July 01, 20243 min read

Hey, what's up everybody! It's TJ with Sanctified Homes. Today, I want to share an important tip for anyone building a custom home: Stop thinking you’ll get a better deal by buying materials and appliances yourself. Here’s why you should always purchase through your builder.

Why You Should Purchase Through Your Builder

Better Pricing

One of the biggest misconceptions is that you can get better pricing by buying items like fireplaces, flooring, or appliances on your own. The truth is, builders often have established relationships with suppliers and receive significant discounts that aren't available to the general public.

  • Volume Discounts: Builders purchase in bulk and frequently, which gives them access to better pricing.

  • Supplier Relationships: Builders have long-standing relationships with suppliers, allowing them to negotiate better deals.

  • Trade Discounts: Suppliers often offer trade discounts to builders that aren't available to individual consumers.

Real-Life Example

Recently, a client went out and bought a fireplace on their own, thinking they were saving money. They ended up paying the full retail price. Had they gone through us, Sanctified Homes, they would have benefited from our discount, even after our markup. Plus, we would have handled delivery, and installation, and ensured everything was working correctly.

Hassle-Free Installation

When you purchase through your builder, they take care of all the logistics. This includes ordering, delivery, and installation. It simplifies the process and ensures that everything is handled professionally.

  • Seamless Coordination: Your builder coordinates with subcontractors to ensure timely and correct installation.

  • Warranty Coverage: Items purchased through your builder are often covered under the builder’s warranty, adding an extra layer of protection.

  • Problem Resolution: If there are any issues, your builder will handle them, saving you time and stress.

Warranty and Accountability

When you supply your own materials, the builder’s warranty might not cover them. This can lead to complications and added expenses if something goes wrong.

  • Single Point of Contact: With everything going through your builder, you have one point of contact for any issues.

  • Comprehensive Coverage: The builder’s warranty typically covers everything they supply and install, providing peace of mind.

Professional Expertise

Builders know which products and materials work best for your specific project. They can advise on the best options based on their experience, ensuring you get the best quality and value.

  • Expert Recommendations: Builders can recommend the best products that fit your budget and needs.

  • Quality Assurance: Builders ensure that all materials meet the required standards and specifications.

Conclusion

Purchasing materials and appliances through your builder not only saves you money but also ensures a smoother building process with fewer headaches. Builders have the connections, expertise, and resources to get the best deals and handle all the details for you.

If you’re planning to build a custom home, trust your builder to handle the purchases. It’s a decision that will pay off in the long run.
