Buying guide
The case for buying surplus on your next job
Concrix Team
Lower cost, shorter lead times and less waste: why more contractors are sourcing used and surplus stock first.
New materials are not always the right call. For a lot of jobs, surplus stock does the same work at a meaningfully lower cost. It is often available the same week, rather than after a supplier lead time.
Cost you can put back into the job
Surplus scaffolding, formwork and fittings frequently sell well below new prices. On a margin-tight job, that difference is the difference.
Available now, nearby
Because Concrix is focused on the Klang Valley, buyers can find nearby stock and ask the trade desk to confirm availability with the seller.
Less waste
Every reused pallet of material is one that does not get scrapped. Buying surplus keeps usable stock in circulation and out of the skip. That is good for costs and good for the industry.
