Finding the best deals for construction supplies in the Philippines

Sourcing is the term used to describe the act of looking for a supplier of goods and services.  Sourcing, especially for construction supply wholesale in the Philippines, is a science and an art altogether.  Depending on the magnitude of a project, sourcing of project requirements such as materials, labor and services is usually undertaken by several people during the project lifecycle.  

Here are proven ways to find the best deals for your material requirements.

Use Facebook Marketplace to source construction supply for wholesale

Your specific requirement requires a creative approach such as browsing Facebook Marketplace.  Be sure to be extra patient and creative in keying in words to describe the material that you need for example, “good lumber price philippines”.  

Alternatively, you may also post on your Facebook wall or in relevant page groups detailing your material or service requirements to get as many interested suppliers. This gives you the leverage to choose which one offers the best deal.

Look for online deals

Watch out for construction sites or demolition listing

If you are looking for something to spruce up your home or office building but also would like to save money, construction sites or demolition listings can help you get the satisfaction you want. Floorings, windows and doors, cabinets, trim and railings–you can get any or all of those in whatever material available in the property to be demolished. 

They say that one person’s trash is another person’s treasure. That is very true when sourcing materials in a construction/demolition site.  One caveat though, you may get most materials at a very low cost or even free sometimes; however, the quantity of your chosen materials might not always be the same quantity that is available.  

Barter and trade

In other countries, Craiglist is a haven for cheap construction materials, and barter, too!  Here in the Philippines, you may also try negotiating for a barter and trade.  This goes something like, ask an acquaintance, a neighbor or a friend if they have materials that they wish to trade with your skillset.

So there you have it.  And the list may go on.  One last caveat: Because you are looking at low-cost/pre-loved items that will be useful to your own construction, you might need an extra determination to get it in an unconventional way.
