Procurement

LEVERAGE YOUR PURCHASING POSITION

Paying more than your competitors is never a good thing. It reduces your margin, hobbles your business and limits your ability to win work.

Asset Builders works with 600 independent builders, across three states. We use this leverage to negotiate deals with over 170 suppliers. From footings to flashings and everything in between, we got you covered. It’s not rocket science - our members expect three things: 

  • Professional & Timely Service

  • Quality Products

  • The Right Price

We partner with quality suppliers who have the power to deliver on all three.

PROFESSIONAL & TIMELY SERVICE

Save money and frustration

Clients expect you to be on time, on budget and to communicate if there's any issues. Why should you expect any less of your suppliers?

Doing business with suppliers that let you down will cost you time and money - not to mention your sanity! Asset expects all it's suppliers to provide members with professional know-how and advice, in a timely fashion. Information you need, when you need it. 

Asset's, cloud-based business platform Agility Project Portal brings communications together and helps suppliers get in touch with you when and where you need them. We also operate weekly updates for your state to notify you of any updates from suppliers. If and when issues do arise - your Asset Business Manager is here to help. Working with you and the supplier to iron out any crinkles.


QUALITY PRODUCTS

First rate materials for first rate builders

Professional builders are building homes, not houses. From a million dollar pad to a humble first-home, your clients expect the best they can afford. Your reputation depends on it!

Utilising inferior quality products will not only leave a sour taste in your clients mouth, but could also cost you a lot more if they are not up to the job! Top quality doesn't have to mean top price - it does mean the best you can do within your limits!

Asset invests time and resources into discovering what separates different suppliers before we bring them on board. With a team that boasts manufacturing, engineering and design experience, Asset has evaluated each Accredited Supplier individually to ensure they meet the rigours of quality that our members expect! 


The Right Price

Why pay more than your competitors?

Asset works with suppliers to get our members a better deal. As it stands 0.4% of builders own 65% of the market, the other 99.6% compete for the remaining 35%. It's not difficult to see that suppliers can 'divide and conquer' offering the best deals to the big guys, and making their profits from the smaller ones!

Asset works hard to ensure our members get the best deals - and we pride ourselves on helping them claw back market share from the big players. Join the group and get a better deal!
