Summer is one of the busiest times of the year for builders. The longer days, warm weather and client demand create the perfect storm of activity. But with packed schedules and high stakes, the last thing you want is to get hit with material shortages, rising costs or project delays.
That’s where you can depend on CBUSA.
As a group purchasing organization built specifically for independent home builders, CBUSA gives you the power to prep for summer more efficiently and cost-effectively by securing better deals on materials, tools and equipment. Here’s how it works – and why now is the time to take advantage.
Outfit your job sites without blowing your budget
Every builder knows summer demand puts pressure on supply chains. Lumber, concrete, HVAC systems – you name it. As jobs ramp up, suppliers get stretched thin, and prices tend to climb.
CBUSA’s group purchasing model helps you stay ahead. By combining your buying power with hundreds of other high-performing builders across the country, you gain access to pre-negotiated pricing with top manufacturers like Weyerhaeuser, Lennox, Cambria and more. That means you can order with confidence – knowing you’re getting competitive rates without scrambling to find inventory.
Save on tools and equipment for outdoor work
Summer means full crews on site, pushing to complete framing, roofing, concrete pours, decks and landscaping. That kind of production requires serious gear – and the costs can pile up quickly.
CBUSA partners with national brands to give members exclusive discounts on job site essentials. From power tools and scaffolding to generators and temporary fencing, you can outfit your team without blowing the budget.
Strengthen local supplier relationships
Strengthen local supplier relationships
CBUSA isn’t just about national deals – it’s also about building local strength. Through your regional market, you’ll collaborate with other respected builders in your area to negotiate better pricing and terms from your local suppliers and distributors.
This local focus means you’ll get more than good pricing – you’ll also benefit from faster deliveries, priority stock access and stronger service. That kind of reliability is crucial when you’ve got multiple projects running and no time for delays.
Forecast smarter with data
Planning ahead is key when your summer calendar is packed. With CBUSA’s purchasing platform, you get access to data that helps you anticipate material needs, watch for supply chain trends and place orders before issues arise.
Plus, you have support from CBUSA’s expert purchasing team, who can help you optimize orders and navigate any last-minute challenges. It’s like having an extra operations team in your corner – without the overhead.
Earn rebates while you buy
Want to turn your summer material purchases into extra revenue? CBUSA makes that possible. Every time you buy from a CBUSA partner, you become eligible for quarterly rebates – money that goes right back into your business.
Many members see significant rebate returns every year—sometimes in the six-figure range. That’s money you can use to invest in more tools, hire more labor, or grow your business without increasing your prices.
