Trade Supplies finds live prices for construction materials, trade consumables, and building supplies from regional merchants. Search for one item, compare prices across suppliers, or estimate a multi-item materials basket before you request a quote or place an order.
It uses live shopping results localised by country and ranks known trade merchants first: Screwfix, Travis Perkins, Wickes, B&Q, Toolstation, Home Depot, Lowes, Bunnings, Leroy Merlin, Bauhaus, Hornbach, and similar suppliers by region.
What you can do
- search_supplies — find current product listings for a material or trade supply with supplier, price, availability, and link
- compare_prices — sort priced listings cheapest-first and calculate savings against the highest priced option
- estimate_materials — price a bill of materials by multiplying live unit prices by quantities, with job, VAT, markup, collection, and accounting fields for quoting workflows
- supplier_coverage — see preferred suppliers and currency assumptions by country
Who it's for
Builders, renovators, quantity surveyors, facilities teams, and contractors checking current material costs before ordering or quoting work.
How to use it
- Start with supplier_coverage if you want to see which suppliers are preferred in your country
- Use search_supplies for a specific item with size/spec, such as "15mm copper pipe 3m"
- Use compare_prices when price matters more than supplier rank
- Use estimate_materials for a basket of materials with quantities
