Why Applicators Should Lean on Suppliers for On-Site Clarity
On complex waterproofing jobs, suppliers are more than material providers - they’re a knowledge base. Here’s how applicators can get the most out of supplier support.
9/30/2025
Every waterproofing applicator in NZ knows that no two jobs are alike. Details change, substrates throw up surprises, and weather never reads the program. In these moments, clarity is critical - and often, the best support comes directly from your supplier.
Most major suppliers in NZ, like Nuralite, Viking, Allco, Ardex, Sika, etc; assign account managers to applicators. These reps aren’t just salespeople; they’re technical partners who can:
Clarify details on-site: From tricky junctions to install questions, they can offer guidance that saves hours of guesswork.
Support open spec projects: When architects leave systems open, suppliers can step in with tailored specs - ensuring compliance and long-term performance.
Strengthen documentation: With supplier input, scope notes and drawings are harder to dispute, giving applicators more confidence when working with builders and main contractors.
From a QS perspective, engaging suppliers early is also a safeguard. It ensures that the system being priced is the system being installed - no costly surprises mid-project.
