BuildDirect - Transforming the global building supply industry.

What is BuildDirect?

Not a broker, distributor, or agent.

Simply put: We’re the manufacturer. In fact, we’re the world’s leading online manufacturer/wholesaler of building materials. Since our beginnings in 1999, we’ve established a reputation for offering quality supplies at the lowest price, in 60 countries on six continents.

We're more cost effective.

You will always pay less when you order with BuildDirect, because we are the manufacturer. Which means, you’re not dinged for costs associated with broker fees or high overhead.

We're more consistent.

Because we are the manufacturer, we guarantee product consistency. Brokers, for example, frequently use multiple manufacturers to complete a single order, resulting in you being on the receiving end of mismatched product.

We're less of a risk.

All of our products come with warranties supported by BuildDIrect. And, before we ship, we provide you with a third-party 30-point inspection report for your approval. Based on this, you can refuse your order – no questions asked.

We're more upfront.

We are a member in good standing of the National Wood Flooring Association, the Marble Institute of America, the Cedar Shake and Shingle Bureau, the US Green Building Council, and the Canadian Green Building Council. But we don’t just rely on industry-credentials. We post detailed product information, complete with buyer ratings and unedited testimonials.

We're less hassle.

We handle all aspects of your order so there’s no need to worry about converting import duties and export taxes, international language barriers, or customs challenges, for example. From initial quote to delivery, we take care of it for you.

Shipping? No sweat.

With BuildDirect, you can remove any shipping-related angst from the equation. Here’s why:

• We use our own proprietary logistics technology that ensures an exact all-inclusive quote and the most cost-effective shipping route. (There are absolutely no hidden delivery fees or handling charges.)

• We ship just-in-time, door-to-door, without inventory carrying – or warehousing – costs and pass these savings on to you.

• We assume all the risk by taking title of the goods until they arrive at your location.

• Because we handle over 2,000 container shipments – and over 25,000 shipments overall - per year, we have the know-how to ship a variety of order sizes to a variety of locations, from anywhere in the world to any point in North America. So your order will be a no-hassle experience.
