How buying works today
The usual route to an order.
Purchasing is project-based, through established suppliers, rental firms and production managers, with many last-minute phone and email orders as a build comes together. Hired and purchased items are often mixed on the same job, and quantities change up to the last day.
Where it breaks down
What slows buyers down.
- 01Hard deadlines leave no room for late deliveries.
- 02Project lists are fragmented across suppliers.
- 03Quantities change late and deliveries get split.
- 04Last-minute substitutions are common.
