n3 TRADE is specifically tailored to meet the needs of the construction industry. With a dedicated team of Trade Account Managers, n3 TRADE provides specialised support and services to help you maximise the benefits for your trade business.

The amount your business can save with n3 TRADE varies based on the products and volumes purchased. Savings differ from Supplier to Supplier, as most do not offer a flat discount across all products or services. Instead, savings can vary by product category and even individual products. The savings percentage shown on our website for each Supplier is intended as a guide only, and your actual savings will depend on your specific purchasing profile.

If your business already trades with one of our Suppliers, we can "Link your Account," meaning your existing account will be switched to n3 pricing if beneficial. You'll maintain your direct relationship with the Supplier with the added benefit of n3 pricing.

In addition to accessing competitive pricing across our range of Suppliers, n3 Members have access to:

  • Monthly reporting of your spend and savings
  • A dedicated Trade Account Manager to support your business and identify areas to save.
