Building Supplies, exported
Building supplies is the widest line we carry and the one most orders start from. Framing lumber, sheathing and plywood, drywall, fasteners, rebar, cement, pipe, doors, moldings and windows — the structural spine of a project, bought in the quantities an actual build consumes rather than what a retail yard keeps on the floor.
We buy direct from U.S. mills and national distributors, which is what makes grade and species available to spec rather than to whatever is in stock. Southern yellow pine and spruce-pine-fir framing packages, CDX and marine-grade panels, National Gypsum board, Simpson Strong-Tie connectors, Dayton Superior concrete accessories and PGT impact-rated glazing all move through this line regularly.
Structural material is heavy and cubes out fast, so loading order matters. Lumber and panels go in first as the floor of the container, board and finish goods ride above them, and fasteners and small hardware fill the voids — which is how a mixed order of lumber, drywall and windows still fits one 40-foot container instead of two.
Send a takeoff, a plan set or even a photo of a handwritten materials list and we quote the package as a unit rather than line by line. If your list is in metric we convert it. If it is missing a grade or a species we will tell you what your destination market normally accepts instead of guessing and shipping the wrong thing four thousand miles.
