The cost and availability of concreting tools could be two of the main concerns faced by builders at the moment.
According to Rod Bennion, non-executive chairman of the National Merchant Buying Society (NMBS), a representative organisation for procurement in the building, plumbing, timber, hardware and heating industries, stock and pricing levels are key factors in meeting customer demand at present.
Speaking at the recent NMBS Strategic Sales Conference, he explained that each issue is instrumental in allowing suppliers to meet the wants and needs of their client base.
Concreting tools that offer good quality levels without putting undue strain on project budgets could be particularly in demand among builders looking to achieve more in a competitive environment.
Mr Bennion's speech is summarised by the NMBS with the words: "Suppliers need to be both agile and responsive."
While he noted the presence of other concerns in the market as a whole, cost and availability were singled out as the two main factors at present.
