Trade pricing pathways
Approved account customers can discuss volume pricing, repeat project supply and product bundles across the current CSA catalogue.
Trade account enquiries
Build a better supply line for repeat trade jobs.
Send an enquiry about recurring construction supplies, project quote history and account-based support. The account covers the live catalogue, not one trade.
Why open one
For crews buying materials again and again.
A trade account should make the buying workflow clearer: what you bought, what was quoted, which job it related to and whether the next order is a catalogue line or needs trade desk review.
Quote history by project
Keep recurring orders, custom lengths, flashings, fixings and delivery references easier to track across multiple jobs.
Credit discussed separately
Submitting this enquiry does not grant credit. The trade desk will explain any separate assessment and documentation if credit terms are available.
Dedicated trade desk
Account holders can route cut-to-length, custom flashing, mixed-material and large-volume requests through the trade desk.
Portal access 24/7
The account portal is open around the clock: browse account pricing, re-order saved lists, track quotes and download invoices any time.
Who it's for
Built for trades that buy materials as part of the job.
Trade accounts work best for businesses that purchase construction materials regularly - per project or per month - and want pricing, quoting and invoicing handled through one account.
- Residential and volume builders
- Electrical and services contractors
- Roofing, facade and cladding trades
- Civil, fit-out and commercial teams
- Shed, rural and agricultural builders
- Owner-builders with an active project
Eligibility
Active ABN or ACN
Trade accounts are for trading businesses. You will need a current ABN or ACN registered for construction-related activity.
Regular purchasing intent
Accounts suit buyers ordering materials across repeat jobs - monthly or per-project - rather than a single one-off purchase.
Nominated contacts
A primary contact for ordering and an accounts contact for invoices and statements keeps the account workflow clean from day one.
References if credit is requested
If a separate credit application is offered, it may require trade references, director details and supporting information.
Don't tick every box? Send an enquiry and the trade desk can recommend an account or quote pathway.
How account setup works
A practical account process, not a mystery form.
Send business details
Submit your ABN, trade type, locations, expected monthly supply and the products you normally buy.
Trade desk review
CSA checks the fit for your account, confirms product requirements and identifies whether you need catalogue supply, custom quotes or both.
Next step confirmed
The trade desk explains the available account pathway and whether any separate credit assessment or supporting information is required.
Complete account setup
If an account is offered, the team confirms the setup terms, account references and available ordering tools before account purchasing begins.
Supply coverage
Trade account support across the live catalogue.
CSA is a construction-supplies business. A trade account buys from the same ranges as the public catalogue. No single trade is the account.

Enquiry details
Tell CSA what you buy and how you work.
The more detail you provide now, the easier it is for the trade desk to work out whether you need standard account access, custom supply support, credit review or a project-specific quote process.

Trade account FAQ
Questions before sending an enquiry.
Who can send a CSA trade account enquiry?
Builders, electricians, roofers, civil and fit-out trades, procurement teams and other recurring construction buyers can send an enquiry. Any account offer depends on business details, supply requirements and the available purchasing pathway.
Does a trade account enquiry grant credit terms?
No. The form is an enquiry only. If credit terms are available, they require a separate assessment and acceptance before any credit limit applies.
Can I use a trade account for custom lengths and flashings?
Yes. Trade account enquiries can include custom lengths where available, fabricated flashings, mixed material schedules and large-volume supply. Include drawings, takeoffs or product schedules when you have them.
Is a trade account limited to one trade?
No. The account covers the same multi-trade catalogue as the public store: electrical, fasteners, chemicals, glazing, timber, roofing and the other live ranges. One account can buy across those ranges.
How quickly will CSA respond?
Response timing depends on the business details, requested products, custom supply requirements and delivery locations. The trade desk reviews the enquiry before confirming the next step.
