Why is a trusted supply chain critical?

What is a trusted supply chain?

In construction, a trusted supply chain refers to the network of companies involved in the production and delivery of building materials and components. A typical supply chain includes suppliers of raw materials, manufacturers of building products, distributors, contractors, and sub-contractors.

Why is a trusted supply chain important?

A reliable supply chain ensures that construction projects are completed on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards.

The construction industry is a complex web of relationships between contractors, sub-contractors, suppliers, and clients. Construction projects go through different stages and are subject to countless decisions being made, and every choice has a ripple effect throughout the supply chain. This is why choosing a trusted supply chain is one of the most critical decisions in construction.

Why is regulation important in the construction sector?

As our societies evolve, the need for a regulated and structured frame of development becomes evident and construction is no exception. In the UK for example, in the construction sector alone, there are several government agencies that work together to ensure that the construction industry operates safely, efficiently, and in compliance with relevant laws and regulations. 

Health and safety, building codes and standards, planning and zoning, environment and employment law have now been regulated for decades in the construction sector. 

Is there new legislation in the construction sector?

Tragedies like the Grenfell Tower disaster have highlighted some of the challenges of modern construction and the need for new areas of regulation. 

In January 2022 the Government Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities created the Governing bodies Guidance on Collaborative Procurement for Design and Construction to Support Building Safety. The document sheds light on the importance of the use of trustworthy and reliable supply-chains.

How important is it to be part of a reliable supply chain?

Combined, the team at Telling Rainscreens have got decades of experience working in the construction sector and have worked together as a team for over 10 years. 

We understand our industry but most importantly, we understand the significance of the relationships with all the stakeholders. We believe that building strong relationships with our clients and our suppliers is crucial to promote trust, collaboration, loyalty, and innovation, all of which contribute to mutual long-term success and growth. 

We recognise the importance of being part of a reliable supply chain and the responsibilities that come with being one of its moving parts. That’s why, over the years, we have chosen our business partners carefully and we nurture our relationships. 

Only this way we are able to provide a trustworthy and reputable route to market with a track record.

Taylor Maxwell and Telling Rainscreens partnership

The partnership of Taylor Maxwell and Telling Rainscreens was built on solid foundations back in 2004, and is still growing, and going from strength to strength to this very day. 

Telling Rainscreens provide an unrivalled technical support and expertise that sits very comfortably with Taylor Maxwell’s 60+ years of experience supplying external facade products to the construction industry through their 16 offices in key locations across the country.  

Taylor Maxwell’s enviable team of sales professionals have strong relationships with renowned architectural practices, Main Contractors and the leading building façade contractors. They understand the challenges of the construction industry and have tailored a sales process with the needs of the installer in mind.  

Argeton and Telling Rainscreens partnership.

Our relationship with Argeton began in 1997 when we delivered the Beckenham Leisure Centre in London with LA Architects from Brighton.

The Argeton of the 90’s was a very different company to the multinational it is today operating under brick giant Wienerberger. However, their philosophy and core values remain untouched and so is our partnership which 26 years later, is stronger than ever. 

Years working together have allowed us to understand the way each company works and we have perfected a route into the marketplace. Today, it’d be hard to find a façade contractor that hasn’t heard of Telling and Main Contractors across the country trust our supply chain.

So when it comes to a trusted supply chain – the difference is Telling!
