Frequently asked questions

a

How does CBUSA add value to my business?

CBUSA gives independent builders the power to buy like national builders, without sacrificing their independence. With over 850+ members and $10B+ in combined annual revenue, our network delivers real leverage. Members typically see savings like 25% on appliances, 20% on plumbing fixtures and roofing, 10% on drywall and 8% on lumber. Beyond pricing, you’ll gain access to expert purchasing support, trusted supplier relationships and a high-performing builder network.

a

Why would I collaborate with local competitors?

CBUSA isn’t about giving up your edge – it’s about sharpening it. When top builders in a market align, everyone benefits through lower costs, better service and stronger supplier partnerships. You won’t share financials, but you will share insights, strategies and the buying power that comes from working together.

a

Does a membership require a big time commitment?

CBUSA is designed to save you time. Monthly market meetings are scheduled in advance and focused on driving local cost savings and efficiencies. After initial onboarding, the long-term time and money savings far outweigh the upfront effort.

a

Why wasn’t my application approved?

CBUSA is a selective network built to maintain quality and exclusivity. Applications may be declined if they don’t meet criteria like minimum volume, business practices or location within an active market. You’re welcome to reapply in the future as circumstances change.

a

Is there a fee to join CBUSA?

Yes, there’s a one-time startup fee and a monthly membership fee, but the value far outweighs the cost. Think of it as a high-return investment: most members earn back significantly more through exclusive pricing, rebates and long-term savings. Once your application is approved, we’ll walk you through the details during your introductory call.

a

What is a Group Purchasing Organization?

A Group Purchasing Organization brings independent businesses together to increase their collective buying power. In CBUSA’s case, that means uniting top custom home builders in local markets to negotiate better pricing, improved service and exclusive rebates from suppliers and manufacturers – without sacrificing your independence. It’s a smarter, more strategic way to buy.
