If the quality and provenance of steel, concrete and timber are vital to the integrity of construction then how much more so is the quality and provenance of the fixings which hold those materials together. Once again, a period of rapid growth brings a labour supply and skills shortage. Fixing solutions must reach beyond the obvious and consider the commercial advantage of creative solutions offering ease and speed of installation. This is not a market where you should be confined by the products of one manufacturer or find yourself restricted by the absence of technical knowledge and experience evident in many general building supplies distributors. To ensure that you make the most of the opportunities presented, you need a partner – an independent fixings expert – to supply solutions and alternatives in response to ever-changing demands.
