5 Costly Mistakes When Buying Timber

We see the same timber mistakes repeatedly, and every one of them costs more than the saving that caused it.

The short version

  • Buying on headline price and paying twice when it fails early.
  • Ordering short and eating a second delivery charge.
  • Ignoring the spec sheet because two products share a name.
  • Leaving the contract rate unasked — it is almost always available on volume.
  • Not confirming lead time against the site programme.
