About activities of agents involved in the wholesale of timber and building materials

NACE code 46.13 covers the activities of agents involved in the wholesale of timber and building materials. This industry plays a crucial role in the construction and home improvement sectors, facilitating the distribution of essential raw materials and supplies. As an intermediary between manufacturers/producers and retailers/end-users, agents operating under this NACE code help to ensure the efficient flow of timber, lumber, plywood, bricks, cement, and other building goods throughout the economy.

Production process

Agents in this industry typically do not engage in physical production activities. Instead, they focus on brokering transactions, negotiating contracts, and arranging the logistics of wholesale distribution. Key tasks include identifying suppliers, matching them with buyers, arranging transportation, and handling the financial aspects of wholesale trade.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for this industry are access to a network of suppliers and buyers, strong industry knowledge, and expertise in wholesale trade operations. Agents must maintain relationships with manufacturers, importers, and other wholesalers to source a diverse range of timber and building materials. They also require office space, telecommunications equipment, and transportation services to facilitate the wholesale distribution process.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is the wholesale distribution of timber, lumber, plywood, bricks, cement, and other building materials. These outputs are then consumed by a variety of other NACE codes, including 41.20 Construction of residential and non-residential buildings, 43.11 Demolition, 43.12 Site preparation, and 43.99 Other specialized construction activities n.e.c..
