WHO WE SERVE / BUYER GUIDE
Construction Companies
Construction teams need materials and equipment to arrive in the sequence the programme demands. Primegate supports contractors with BOQ-led sourcing, technical clarifications, supplier coordination and phased delivery planning.

01 / IN FOCUS
How this buyer type typically procures
Contractors buy against a build programme, not a calendar date — materials and equipment are needed at a specific point in a sequence, and arriving early can be almost as disruptive as arriving late if there is nowhere on site to store them. BOQs, technical specifications and phased release of funds all shape how and when a construction buyer can commit to an order.

Support built around your organisation
- BOQ and materials schedule review to identify sourcing packages and technical clarifications.
- Construction materials, hardware and site-consumable sourcing.
- Electrical and mechanical product sourcing matched to the build's technical requirements.
- Tools, PPE and site-equipment supply.
- Coordination for fabricated or specialist items where sourcing capability allows.
- Delivery sequencing aligned to the site's phase and receiving capacity.
03 / IN FOCUS
Documentation considerations
Delivery documentation is organised by phase and, where the project spans multiple sites, by location — so the contractor's own site management and any external quantity surveyor or client representative can trace what arrived, where, and against which part of the BOQ.
04 / PRACTICAL GUIDANCE
Illustrative example
Illustrative example: a contractor's finishing-phase materials are needed only after structural work completes, four months into the programme. Primegate sources the full BOQ package upfront to lock pricing and availability, but sequences delivery so finishing materials arrive on the contractor's phase-three trigger rather than sitting on site as a storage liability from day one.

Frequently asked
Can you quote against a full BOQ, or only individual line items?
Both — a full BOQ is usually the more efficient starting point, since it lets us group items into logical sourcing packages and flag technical clarifications in one pass.

A specification, a BOQ or a clear description is a useful place to begin.
