Freefoam
Today's market place is a tough place to be.
The kindness of the weather has made the first quarter of the year comfortable but there are signs of tougher times ahead. The building industry is operating on a background of cut backs, reduced building plans, and restricted maintenance programmes. Day to day, all of us face the impact of the general austerity measures that our Government has introduced. Then we have to navigate our way through the very real problem of increasing costs on all fronts. Fuel, energy bills, rates, water and labour costs are on the upward trend. We can all see it happening right in front of us on the forecourts and with the readily available comparison sites on the web.
With PVC, it's more difficult as there is little or no visibility on how the cost for PVC roofing products is arrived at for customers. There is so much scepticism and cynicism surrounding the need for price increases it's hard to have a real conversation about it. To a degree that's understandable when you consider the stories of production plants being closed down along with fires and floods creating 'force majeure' situations.
Our commitment is that we'll face these challenges together to create a win-win outcome whenever possible by only passing on price increases when they are needed based on our aim of maintaining our continuous investment programme. A programme which has to date enabled our customers to benefit from the development of industry leadning guarantees and innovative new products such as the Freefoam co-extruded gutter systems.
Here at BJ Roofing Contractors we're strengthening our relationship Freefoam for the long haul through the tough times ahead to continue to bring our customers the best PVC roofing solutions on the market.
This is our 40th year in business meaning we can offer experience workmanship and all the proper warranties on our work.
