Are you new to the log cabin business? Do you need a reliable supplier of wood for your constructions? So here we have your back on all the things you need to focus on when engaging in a B2B log cabin deal. In a B2B deal, you search for a lumber supplier or a log cabin kit supplier based on your type of business. If you are a manufacturer producing lumber to customer requirements, you may need a quality lumber supplier. However, if you are a turnkey builder, where you assemble the parts and deliver the fully framed building to the client, then you may want to look for a supplier that delivers log cabin kits.
Consider your type of business by trying to find the potential vendor that has good peer review and considerable market access. Get to know a provider considering your type of business and explore further to learn the pros and cons of your business. However, for a new entrant in the business, it is quite difficult to find a supplier with the right attitude. If your business is manufacturing a log cabin from raw timber, you should deal with the local timber supplier who can supply quality timber that will not only suit the customer’s requirements but also match the prevailing weather conditions in that particular place. Check out the most common types of wood like white pine, red pine, yellow pine, white cedar, cypress, and the hardwoods of oak, poplar, and walnut.
On the other hand, if you want to assemble the parts and deliver the cab to the customer, you should contact the local manufacturer who knows the area well.
There are many such companies that manufacture the entire log cabin and supply it to local businesses. These companies are happy to build a good dealer network locally to make their builds indigenous. Patch up with one of those companies looking for local dealers and deliver the building to the client for a nominal or reasonable commission. In most B2B log cabin transactions, we see transactions of this type, as many prefer to outsource the manufacturing task to a third party.
However, few want to see the progress of the project on their own. Then for that crowd you can provide the lumber and labor they require and you can charge them for both. If you want to get into this business, it’s always best to get experience endorsing someone else’s work as a distributor.
