CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

The chapter present the background of the study, objectives of the study,
scope and limitations of the study, definition of terms, and the methodology which
include the research design, locale of the study, the respondent, sample and
sampling procedure, data preparation and processing and data analysis.

Rationale of the Study

The major area of wholesale distribution is the Construction Materials

Industry. The construction materials industry includes suppliers of raw materials
used by construction firms when building commercial and residential properties.
This means that commonly used hardware and construction supply materials
such as sand, gravel, stones, wood, and many other naturally occurring in
addition to masonry products like cement, steel, hollow blocks, plywood,
lumber, wood paneling and other grinding mill works fall into this category.
Additionally, distributors also supply polyvinyl chloride/PVC, roofing,
guttering, insulation products and many other essential masonry and carpentry
tools and equipment used by construction firms.

The building materials are materials used for construction. Many naturally

occurring substances such as clay, rocks, sand, wood, and even twigs and leaves,
have been used to constructing buildings. Apart from naturally occurring materials
and many man-made products are in used, some more and some less synthetic. The

1
manufacturing of building materials is an established industry in many countries
and the use of these materials is typically segmented into specific specialty trades,
such as carpentry, insulation, plumbing, and roofing work they provide the make-
up of habitats and structures.

Additionally, hardware stores in a number of countries shops sometimes

known Philippines stores and sell household hardware for home improvement
including fasteners and building materials hands tools, powers tools, keys locks
and things, chains, plumbing supplies.

Electrical supplies, cleaning products, housewares tools utensils paint and

lawn and garden products directly to consumers for use at home or for business.
Many hardware stores have specialty departments unique to its region or its
owner's interests. These departments include hunting and fishing supplies, plants
and nursery products, marine and boating supplies, pet food and supplies, farm and
ranch supplies including animal’s feed.

METHODOLOGY

This part of the study is including the research design, locale of the study,
respondent, the study sample and sampling procedure, data gathering procedure
data analysis.

Research Design

Generally, there are three levels to define construction within the literature
(Dang & Low, 2015). At one extreme, construction is referred to as an economic
activity that involves the entire construction process from producing raw and
manufactured building materials and components, and providing professional
services such as design and project management, to executing the physical work
on site. In this view, construction is an economic activity that crosses over all three
economic sectors: primary sector that involves the extraction of natural resources;
secondary sector that involves the manufacture of building materials and
components, and the transformation of these materials into finished buildings; and
tertiary sector that involves the provision of consultancy services such as project
management, design and structural engineering (Gruneberg, 1997).

The descripted survey research design is use because the study has to describe
quantitatively the services provide by the industry to the customers, the most

6
preferred hardware constructional supply materials by the respondent, and the
factors effecting the preference of customers-respondent for the industry.

Table 3.3 show the price and pricing strategy. The business will be using
economy pricing strategy because the business tends to apply wholesale price and
low-cost approach to the market, and to set the business at minimum level and
keep prices low to attract customers who are very price sensitive. The price is base
on the normal wholesale in the market place.
