Building material suppliers online.

The founders of the BuildBuy.Com website have set out to make the world of construction and building supplies more accessible to any buyer. They are setting up a market that will have multiple suppliers selling a range of products with the prices clearly listed. Shy Nair, CEO says "Our goal is to focus in on only building materials and equipment and to cater to the small and big buyers. If your a homeowner looking for the tile for the new bathroom your building, then I want to be able to connect you with the willing supplier. And if you are the contractor looking for a container load delivered to the site then you will get a choice of who you want to do business with. We are match makers in the industry."

BuildBuy.Com will give the suppliers the choice of using a product listing capability as well as an auction to liquidate products. The global materials business is stronger than ever due to the effects of the U.S. housing boom, continued explosive growth in the China and the recent devastation caused by hurricanes in the U.S. The competition is heating up and many experts predict that within the next decade China will take the lead in supplying the world with building materials. Online big ticket shopping is rising with consumer confidence in online purchases.

BuildBuy.Com will add the feedback rating on all member buyers and suppliers to boost tat confidence. Smaller and medium-sized suppliers have been the first to embrace the concept of this online materials market. "The lack of deep pockets to advertise, hire a large sale force and the general expenses of marketing hold us back." says Manish Kaza, who runs a flooring store in Washington, D.C. "My products are the highest quality and my prices are fair but how do I tell the world to buy my products without spending all my money on advertising." He is excited to list his products with BuildBuy.Com and broaden his potential marketing reach.

As I am walked through the use of the website with the founders I begin to see the possibilities. I search and the results appear with prices openly listed and a feedback rating on the supplier. They also show me what their competitors are displaying on their sites and they are quick to point the difference out. "The most important key factor to online purchases is missing and that is the prices. We give them prices, feedback and a range of products in building materials." Horace Jennings, one of the founding principals states. There are competition but the sites clean visual appearance and the easy navigation may set BuildBuy.Com apart from the rest. It is clutter free and easy to understand for this first time user.
