Harder working sample service from Marley Eternit
Marley Eternit study shows marked increase in the importance of samples in the overall specification process.
Research among architects and designers has highlighted the critical and growing importance of a trusted and guaranteed sample service when it comes to meeting the needs of the design and specification marketplace, according to leading roofing and cladding manufacturer, Marley Eternit.
Marley Eternit, which undertook an in-depth study across a cross section of architects and designers can reveal a marked increase in the importance of samples and the service that lies behind them when it comes to aiding the overall specification process.
Responders clearly signalled the central role a reliable product sample service is now playing in deciding on the final specification for large scale commercial projects, as well as general house building activity.
Its importance is highlighted by Rhys Cook, Senior Buyer at Persimmon Homes, who comments: " In the house building industry we have a need for roof tile samples to be sent accurately and quickly".
"It is important that we can view literature or go on line so that we can identify products suitable for our developments, fill out a simple request form and then receive the well-packed samples in days".
"That is the service we get from Marley Eternit".
Guaranteed and quality packaged sample services support the specifier's ability to make informed product choices quickly, and as the research demonstrates, will influence final decision-making processes.
Having the capability to speedily visualise how a chosen product looks and feels and how it works on the proposed scheme can be a crucial element in the success of the design.
Marley Eternit's acknowledged industry-leading sample service is designed with the end user in mind.
The roofing and cladding sample service aims to dispatch products on the same day following a request, backed up with a quality service that places great importance on sample packaging and distribution.
Sarah Hanlon, Marketing Manager for Marley Eternit comments: "The sample service is one of the core services we offer to our customers to ensure we are providing them with what they need to make their jobs easier".
"This is part of a range of services including technical advice and support both on and off line".
"We know how valuable all of our services are to our customers, which is why we will continue to work hard and invest in these essential areas in the future.
