Hello Everyone

Why you need stuff from stock? And trust me more often that not its not from stock as you end up with half a kitchen on site.

Hi Chip


The "from stock issue" is a logistical issue on the property sale side of the equation.

A normal house sale should take around 12-16 weeks from agreement to completion with lots of key milestones along the way. because the actual exchange of contracts and therefore the move date can alter within this time period, ordering a kitchen from a supplier with a long lead time would cause logistical problems ( who stores it if exchange of contracts is delayed etc). I also don't to order anything until the buyer has 100% committed to the house which in legal terms is the date of the exchange of contracts, up until this point the sale could fail.

I intend to get final colour choices and full specification from our client at least one week before the exchange of contracts deadline and pre-empt the local supply branch with this data. The day after the exchange of contracts the fitter can collect the goods and go ahead with the fit. If the sale fails at the last minute no one is at risk of having paid for goods unnecessarily.

As a sales progresses through these milestones I can give a much more targetted fit out date, we will move from a projected fit date ( within 12 weeks ) to a target fit date ( within 7 days ) to an actual date.

I hope to build a pipeline of target orders for our fitters. It should mean that you would know you have work pre-booked throughout the year.

Happy to take suggestions from you if you have a supplier who can deliver with short lead times.

Regards

Phill
