Three Times The Price!!!!

That’s what a guy just told me…he said
“I’ve had several quotes, and yours is three times
the price of the cheapest”

To be precise, we quoted £48000.00 and he’s
telling me he’s had a quote for £16000.00.

Ummm…Something fishy going on if you ask me.

Even more so when you consider his next comment
was “it’s a building. A building is a building”…

Try telling that to a Jaguar driver, when you ask him
to jump in an Austin Allegro….

Yes, a building might be a building, but there are so
many ways to cut down on the spec of the building
when designing it…
Ways to cut corners in the manufacturing…
Ways to cut corners in the installation…
Ways to cut corners in the accessories supplied….

Yes, there are a number of ways to cut down on
the costs of supplying your building..

And if you really do believe a building is just a
building, you may well be happy with the result…

I doubt it though, because in my experience,
we all like to feel we’re getting value for money
in whatever it is we buy, but when it comes to
buying a building, I think it’s well, well worth
thinking long and hard about why there’s such
a difference in prices, from one company to
another…

Because let’s face it. Really, what are the chances
of this guy ultimately being happy, with a building
which costs a third of the price….

But given he’ll have to pay for it up-front and will
have absolutely no guarantees at all – Only the
guarantee of the cheapest price – he’s most likely
going to find his ‘cheapest’ deal wasn’t such
a good deal, after all.

It’s nice to get feedback from people talking about
how they are impressed by the speed of installation
AND the finish…

And it’s that word FINISH which is so important with
a new building..

Cladding and flashing can hide a multitude of sins, especially
when the building has been supplied with minimum profit
margin and installed by sub-contractors working on a fixed
price….

Our policy is to ensure our own full time employed staff
have the necessary time to install the building correctly
and that all of the necessary parts have been supplied
to ensure the finish on the building is 100% perfect, too
every time….

The devil is in the detail, and the finish of the building
is very important to us, which is why it’s nice to get
feedback about the level of finish.

Something to consider when buying a temporary building is the materials used for the building.

More and more now, insurers are becoming very reluctant to provide cover when the temporary
building has a pvc fabric roof.

There are insurers who will provide insurance, but it’s very, very expensive compared to a building with a ‘proper’ steel roof.

Which is one of the reasons we introduced our range of
steel-clad buildings.

PVC is combustible, whereas steel is not.
PVC has a fire-retardant life span of a maximum of 10 years,
whereas steel is warranted for up to 35 years…

And insurers are more and more likely to insist upon
steel cladding because their exposure to risk of payout
is significantly increased when you use a temporary building
with a ‘tented’ PVC fabric roof cover.

Obviously, a building with a steel roof and walls is far more secure from a theft angle, than a pvc one is..
