How to Buy

1. Platform Overview

Contractor Mart is a dedicated B2B supply chain platform. We do not cater to retail consumer quantities. Our portal connects active construction and infrastructure projects directly with verified manufacturers and wholesale distributors to ensure you get the best bulk rates and priority dispatch.

2. Finding Your Materials

Our catalog is divided into main divisions (e.g., Construction Materials, Water Infrastructure) and sub-categories.

• Smart Sizing: When viewing products like TMT Steel, you can use our built-in auto-calculator to input your requirements in either Pieces or Tonnes. The system will automatically convert the measurements for you.
• Filters: Use the left sidebar on the Products page to filter materials by Verified Brands (e.g., UltraTech, Jindal) to meet your specific site approvals.

3. Uploading BOQ & Requesting Quotes (RFQ)

If you are starting a new phase of construction and have a large, multi-product requirement, you do not need to add items to your cart one by one.

• Upload BOQ: Click the "Create RFQ" button located on the homepage or bottom mobile menu. You can directly paste your requirements or request to upload your Bill of Quantities (PDF).
• Custom Pricing: Once submitted, our sales team will cross-check inventory with manufacturers and generate a custom, discounted quotation directly into your User Dashboard.

4. Placing Bulk Orders

Once you are ready to purchase, proceed to the Checkout page. Please ensure you provide the following critical details:

• GSTIN: Enter your company's valid GSTIN to ensure you receive a B2B tax invoice for Input Tax Credit (ITC).
• Site Instructions: Use the "Order Notes" field to provide specific site entry rules (e.g., "Heavy trucks allowed only after 10 PM" or "Contact Site Supervisor Ramesh").

5. Payment Methods

We offer specialized B2B payment methods to accommodate corporate accounting workflows:

• Direct Bank Transfer (NEFT/RTGS): Transfer funds directly to our corporate account. Your order will be dispatched once the transfer clears.
• Corporate Credit Account: Available for pre-approved, long-term partners. Credit limits and cycles (e.g., 30-day net) will be applied automatically at checkout.
• Pay at Site: Available for select local deliveries (Advance partial payment may be required).

6. Site Delivery Guidelines

We manage the logistics of getting heavy materials to your site safely:

• Freight charges are calculated dynamically based on weight, volume, and distance to your site.
• Unless explicitly stated in your quote, unloading of materials is the responsibility of the buyer. Please ensure you have labor or cranes ready at the site upon truck arrival.

7. Managing Your Dashboard

Log in to your "My Dashboard" to have full control over your procurement process. From there, you can:

• Track the real-time dispatch status of your active orders.
• Download official B2B invoices and approved quotations.
• Save multiple Site Delivery Addresses so you don't have to re-type them for every order.
