Oga If buy from company directly its more expensive than buying from distributors..

Unless you are distributor

Those distributors selling below the company price make more money.
Here is the secret
Most companies have rebates of up to 10% on every product a distributor buys. Say you buy a product a product of #10k, the company will record #1k rebate in their system for you.

Big distributors are already established in their private businesses, they don’t need to withdraw their accumulated rebates immediately. They have other sources of income. So their rebates continue to grow for about one year.

Now the business gymnastics .
Big distributors mostly are credit worthy at these companies. Meaning they don’t even have to pay right away to carry products worth millions.

As an illustration
A distributor goes to a company and purchases goods worth #50M on credit. With 10% rebate, that is #5M profit. But that is not the magic.

Because he knows he now has #5M with the company, he would instead sell those goods for say #48M (below company price) to smaller retailers and end users.

The retailers and consumers are happy to buy from this distributor because he sells cheaper than the manufacturer. He is not selling at a loss, since he still makes #3M after the rebate.

Another distributor who is not using this strategy would wait forever to make one sale while this other person cashes out his rebate steadily. Market is very competitive.

Imagine if this distributor makes an annual sales of #500M. That is #30M in rebate profits without having to use his own cash.

lol,

there's room for arbitrage in every sector but this is easier in the books than in reality, especially in our climes (no pun intended)

michlins:
well my statement is based on an individual builder.

There's another point I raised. If the stated price is not within your reach, bargain what you can pay. Believe me no artisan will leave any money which will execute the job when offered.

I did this gate for someone in this thread (didn't reveal his or her identity) the money I charged, my boss will charge double and will probably get the job if we both submit quotation at same place and he will use same materials as me. He has built such a massive customer base that will take me years to cultivate and he is reaping the rewards.

A Samsung phone of relative spec with Tecno will be more expensive than the Tecno. You're not just buying the product but the confidence of after sales service

. . . i see what you did there grin

it's the last line for me cheesy

don't forget 'it's a world where we find a problem for every solution'

This is not arbitrage in the real sense of it. The reason is that there is only one cost price for the product from the company.
But I would agree that the distributor has created an artificial arbitrage by cutting the margins of his rebate.
It’s not only theory,
I know people who are distributors for NB and International distillers, that is what they do.

Hi Everyone,

I got a roofing quotation of 4m for a 21x10m building.
Sandcoated roof tiles

I am thinking of decking instead.

The money is too much.

Let it be open to the Dinning room, not directly to the sitting room,and construct it in a way that'll make it easy to be closed Incase you want convert it back to closed kitchen if the Open kitchen option fails.
in most apartments the dining is open to the sitting room, so when u open the kitchen to the dining u will have like an opening to the sitting room also. except it's a closed dining

Was the structure built to carry the weight of decking? Also thinks about heat, damp and maintenance..
I would rather you use longspan, if stone coat is expensive.

Cost of building materials depends on location. The expert in he house can give you a rough estimate. To me you can budget between 13m to 20m depend on your taste

Bros,20m for carcass abi the building and furnishings? That house will take nothing less than 40m to set up as building materials are very very expensive these days but I would advice him to first start with what he has and keep on it until he is done.

One of the factors to consider when doing architectural design is the cost.
Maybe you should explore other options.

the Architect should have taken cost into consideration during Design but my bet is that he wasn't paid enough to do the detailings.

A quantity surveyor is in the better position to advice on cost.

Nevertheless, he needs to share more details of the roof i.e drawings

4m is Terribly high. However, let's see the design from your architect...who knows, ... the design of your roof might just be like the picture previously shared .....20m high roof grin

that's after a Design is completed however during Design phase the Architect has a vivid idea on what materials to use to beat down costs. though you are right, he has to share the plan for a better advise.
