How many times you have balked at the price of something like a box of screws, then proceeded to order three of them.
Or fell into a 12 page internet rabbit hole just a snag a deal.
Or scoured the earth just for the right wood grain.
… and it works, we get paid.
But it’s a total waste of time - and time is money.
We are builders first. We grew up with belts on. Rose in the ranks and ran our own construction businesses. We know how much every penny counts - how much one item can make or break a project.
We have better things to do then sit on the computer - Like leading the team. Like selling a project. Like hanging with the family.
So one day, down in the internet ditches, three coffees deep - looking for a better caulk - we realized that things could be better.
What if you could have your cake and eat it too?
That’s what Better Building Materials is about.
You do your normal product search and you instantly check what other online retailers are selling for. Then order that cheaper option right there.
No massive procurement software, no $$$ and time to build new processes, no annoying sales calls - just order the same way we always have, with the best price.
It just makes sense.
& we can’t wait for you to try it.
After you click one of the button's on our website, you should be sent to our page on your browser extension or app store. Click download/add and you should be setup in no time. Our clickable logo will be on the top of your browser window.
Whenever you visit a product page of the retailer's website, you can instantly check the other retailer's pricing and shipping by clicking a button in the corner. Our tool will pop out on that page with all the information and links you need!
A browser extension is like a tiny robot assistant that lives in your browser and tweaks it to do cool, specific things—like blocking ads, checking grammar, or tracking prices—basically a little upgrade pack for your internet experience.
This app is for people in construction and real estate - you know: busy humans, build nerds, deal hunters - anyone who wants to make the ordering process smarter and faster.
We are always working on adding more retailers :) If you have any ideas, leave us a shout at hello@betterbuildmaterials.com
No more project overruns, no more internet rabbit holes, no more should-woulda-coulda
