MATERIKA

Materika is a service that simplifies the procurement and payment process for construction materials. Whether you’re working on a personal project or collaborating with a builder, we ensure that materials are ordered, paid for, and delivered smoothly. Our goal is to make material management hassle-free so you can focus on your project.

Our process is simple:

Ongoing support: We oversee the process to avoid delays and resolve any issues that might arise with suppliers.

Tell us about your project: Share the materials you need or let us help review your requirements.

We coordinate orders: We handle payments and communication with suppliers to ensure the materials are delivered on time.

Our pricing includes:

A 1% markup on the total cost of materials. This fee ensures that we provide a professional, streamlined service from start to finish.

A fixed fee of £249 per project, which covers administrative and coordination services.

No, Materika is not an escrow service. We do not hold funds or act as a financial intermediary. Instead, we facilitate transactions between clients and suppliers, ensuring payments are made correctly and materials are delivered as expected. Our role is focused on simplifying and managing the process, not on holding or securing funds.

Since Materika handles the material orders, payments, and delivery process, there’s no additional cost or added work for the builder. In fact, we take over the administrative burden, making their job easier.

If a builder is reluctant, it may raise concerns about their transparency or intentions. Since we ensure materials are sourced correctly and provide oversight, refusing to use a service like ours could appear questionable. We recommend approaching the conversation openly and emphasizing that Materika is here to help both you and the builder by simplifying the material procurement process.

• We do not work behind the client’s back or make decisions without approval.
• We only proceed with material orders and payments after receiving confirmation from both the client and the builder.

This ensures full transparency, trust, and accountability throughout the project.
