A building supplier at 379 Madras Street in the Christchurch Central City, aimed mainly at tradespeople rather than home renovators. CARTERS says it has been in the building trade for more than 150 years, and it supplies building materials and tools for commercial, residential, joinery and rural work.
The business manufactures pre-cut, pre-nailed frames and trusses using CAD-CAM technology, and its estimating team produces job estimates for trade customers. Trade customers can request an estimate online, or see the team in store, and each account has a dedicated Account Manager. Account holders also get the CARTERS Trade Portal, and the CARTERS Advantage loyalty programme rewards regular buyers.
The company sponsors industry events, runs education and seasonal offers, and publishes the Trade Leader magazine with news and Licensed Building Practitioner requirements. Its toll-free line is 0800 227 8377, and urgent enquiries go to the local branch.
