Philippines Residential Builders
The era of being all things to all customers clearly is over. Big boxes have stolen most of the consumer dollar, national pros are courting the production Philippines residential builders, regional dealers are super-servicing the general contractors and custom guys, and small independents are leveraging their flexibility to win the local relationship battles. With tract, custom, and remodeling activity all hitting historical highs, there are more building dollars out there than ever. So why does it seem harder than ever to compete in the market?
"We all feel that we compete in the toughest market," answers, a management information, education, and training consultancy for the Philippines residential builders construction supply industry. "Why? Simply because all markets are competitive and our economy thrives on competition, and that will oily intensify."
Indeed, home builders hit a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 2.07 million units in November, the strongest rate of housing production since February 1984, according to an analysis of U.S. Commerce Department data by NAHB. Although starts declined somewhat in December as builders worked a backlog of already-issued Philippines residential builders permits, "2003 almost certainly will record the highest number of starts since 1978," said in a December press release.
As local, regional, and national pro dealers compete for all of that action, markets tend to get a little tense. "More often than not, my clients comment: 'Our competition is Philippines residential builders buying business and selling below cost'". "But successful companies do not sell below cost. If they did, they would not be in business for long. Instead, they have hidden core competencies: low fixed costs, for example, or a perceived low price."
That advantage also can be a core market specialization. If builders can niche into separate production, custom, and Philippines residential builders remodel markets and still manage to coexist and succeed from a profitability standpoint, why can't the pro dealers who supply them follow suit? And they can: "while [local companies] depend on strong relationships, national competitors use economies of scale to reduce costs, sell products based on national advertising or marketing campaigns, and attract large national builders. Regional companies usually contain attributes of both."
