Why move to install only?

With rising energy costs, economic uncertainty, and the likely impact on demand, installer-fabricators, like many in the industry, are feeling the pinch.

It's time to evaluate all that you do to make sure your business is fit for the difficult economy predicted ahead. As market conditions go, the last couple of years have been among the toughest we’ve ever seen. The initial pent up demand post-pandemic has been marred by supply chain issues and raw material shortages. Throw in this year’s difficult economic conditions and rising energy costs, and it’s clear to see why so many businesses are taking stock and considering how they may do things differently going forward.

According to the latest Insight Data market report (2021), more than 9,000 installers were fabricating their own windows and doors in the UK. With rising costs and a recession looming, everyone is looking to tighten their belts. For companies who both fabricate and install their own products, this might mean making the decision to outsource fabrication rather than continuing to do so in-house.

It’s a huge decision and one we’ve worked on with a number of businesses who have reviewed their set up, explored the potential, then seized the opportunity to move to install only.
