Introduction: The Balancing Act Builders Face
Every builder knows the daily challenge: delivering quality projects while keeping costs under control. Materials prices fluctuate, suppliers add hidden charges, and poor aftercare leads to expensive delays. Meanwhile, clients demand transparency, speed, and top-quality finishes.
It’s no surprise that many builders feel squeezed between tight budgets and high expectations. But what if you could access large-scale buying power, premium products, and hands-on support — without being a national contractor?
That’s exactly what The Trade Village (TTV) provides. By consolidating over £15m in annual purchasing power and combining it with a trade-only platform, TTV gives builders cost-beating prices, reliable supply, and 24/7 ordering tools.
Here’s how smart builders are cutting costs — without cutting quality.
Harnessing Buying Power That Protects Margins
On most jobs, builders face two pressures: win the contract at a competitive price, and still make a profit after material costs. Unfortunately, many traditional suppliers offer pricing tiers that favour large contractors and penalise independents.
TTV flips this model. By pooling trade spend, we bring £15m of buying power to every account. Whether you’re ordering a single FD30 fire door or outfitting an entire housing project, you get consistent, competitive pricing.
This means builders can price competitively while still protecting their margins.
Products That Deliver On-Site
Cutting costs doesn’t mean cutting corners. Builders need materials that perform on site, comply with regulations, and impress clients. That’s why TTV only supplies products that are proven, premium, and trusted:
- Composite Doors: Solidor, Door Stop, Comp Door, FD30 Fire Doors, Barbican.
- Aluminium Entrance Doors: Signature Aluminium Composite and Designer Aluminium ranges.
- Bifolds & Sliders: Korniche, Smart, Cortizo systems.
- Windows: uPVC and aluminium options for every project type.
- Roofing & Glazing: Lanterns, skylights, warm roofs.
With TTV, builders can order confidently, knowing products won’t cause expensive call-backs.
Faster Quotes, Faster Wins
Clients want quotes yesterday. Waiting days or weeks for supplier pricing is no longer viable. Builders who can quote fast are the ones who win contracts.
TTV provides instant, accurate pricing 24/7 via our online platform. Builders can:
- Quote jobs on the spot.
- Present clients with realistic costs early.
- Secure work before competitors have even responded.
Speed is an edge in today’s market — and TTV gives builders that edge.
Deliveries Direct to Site
Every wasted trip to collect materials costs money. Every late delivery disrupts schedules.
With TTV, all orders are delivered direct to site, saving builders time and ensuring projects run smoothly. Reliable logistics translate into fewer delays and happier clients.
One Account, One Team Behind You
Instead of juggling multiple suppliers and chasing half a dozen reps, builders using TTV get a single account, a dedicated manager, and a support team. That means:
- One point of contact for every query.
- A partner who resolves problems quickly.
- Less admin, more time on site.
This efficiency is invaluable for builders managing multiple jobs.
Flexible Promotions That Add Real Value
TTV offers promotions tailored to project needs — from £100 off your first orders to bespoke repeat discounts. Builders can pass these savings on to clients (winning contracts) or keep them to boost margins. Either way, it’s a win.
