/Inside BUILT/ – Birmingham’s new, time-saving builders warehouse

BUILT/ is Birmingham’s brand-new builders warehouse, conveniently located just off the A38 in Aston. It stocks everything you would expect to find at a trade supplier, from timber to tools, bricks to bathrooms, and tons more materials and essentials in-between. But BUILT/ is not your average builders merchant…

As you drive in to the BUILT/ branch on Bourne Road in Aston, you immediately get the sense that you’re part of a smooth operation.

Recognising your vehicle’s reg, an overhead display ushers you to a pre-determined loading bay where the supplies you ordered on built.co.uk earlier that morning, sit waiting. By the time you’ve applied the handbrake, and switched off your engine, BUILT/’s friendly and attentive staff are on-hand, ready to load everything into your vehicle with the same level of skill and precision of a professional racing pit crew.

As you sit-back and scan the surrounding 60,000 sq. ft site you can clearly see how it’s been built for speed. Rows upon rows of building materials stretch out along the perimeter and beyond your line of sight, each stacking up neatly into the rafters. At the centre, an open road guiding you from entrance to exit, and back to site quickly, with everything you need to complete your next job.

And it really is only a matter of minutes before you’re all set. A van-load of supplies in the back, complimentary coffee in the front, and the rest of your day laid out before you. That must be why they call it ‘Building Supplies On Demand’.

We’re really excited to see our first builders warehouse up and running in Aston” said Nick Thomas, Managing Director of BUILT/. “We’re offering the Birmingham trade a fantastic new way of sourcing and collecting high-quality materials, reliably, conveniently, and at competitively low prices, 7 days a week”.

Our ultrafast Click & Collect service means tradespeople can order what they need online; drive to the warehouse to pick it up from as early as 6am; and be on their way back to site faster than ever before […] Wasted journeys for materials that aren’t available are a thing of the past, because if you can see it online, you can get it in branch too”.

BUILT/ also offers customers guaranteed delivery slots to get those bulkier items from their site to yours, on time and in full. They’ve recently released their first comprehensive trade catalogue and are already eying their second Birmingham branch. Could this be the future of building supplies? Watch this space.
