How does everyone here purchase their supplies for jobs? I consider these items such as rough-in rings and boxes, wall-plates, QuickPort jacks, various connectors, etc., etc.
Do you: a) order mass quantities of certain products and just use them as you need them? b) order exactly what is needed per job right before you need it? c) purchase them as you need them from a local supply house? d) just scrounge through an install van 'till you find enough various adaptors to make it all work?
What I'm getting at is a possible new business idea that came to me at 4 in the morning (I know, I know........). Nothing drastic or revolutionary, it may even already be out there. I just know there's nothing like it in my area.
More details to come.

Maybe what DavidatAVX meant by e is purchasing from various vendors based on price and timing. I tend to get specialty items as I need them for the job JIT and commonly used items are lumped together on larger weekly orders to save frieght costs.

I may be schizophrenic, but at least I have each other. |

I'm always right. The only time I was wrong was the time that I thought, that I was wrong.

E - we order our goods based on a maxxed out work week. So if we are slow a week then we have less to order.. Unlike most around here we work on 3 days out meaning when the builder calls we can schedule them upto three days later.. of course as well all know.. the builder HAS to have it done the next day so there is no way of ordering for the following day or what the schedule looks like.. Just order a shitload and call it a day.. Of course on the good stuff it is JIT or sometimes TFL (too fncking late)
