It seems like no matter where you go in the world, it's hard to avoid ongoing construction. After all, cities have to accommodate an ever-increasing population. As a supplier of ready-made building supplies for contractors in the state of Missouri, we aim to keep an eye on trends in the builder supplies industry. Here's what we're expecting to see more of in the coming years.

1. Sustainability

From our perspective, more homeowners and business stakeholders are getting interested in sustainability practices. Clients want their installations to last for years to come. This is true in terms of structure and aesthetics. At Flip Choice, we've been seeing a rise in interest in granite and quartz for their longevity and trendiness. We also offer prefabricated options, making our core product line accessible to clients with a wide variety of preferences. All of this combined with our containerized prices for all of our products helps keep us ahead of the pack in terms of sustainability.

2. Shipping Options

As you might have noticed, ordering builder supplies online is becoming more and more common even in business-to-business industries. After all, who among us doesn't value convenience? We understand the value of your time, which is why our team is happy to offer free one-business-day shipping within the Kansas City Metro area for all purchases over the $3,000 minimum. According to the M Report, an online mortgage banking resource, lumber was predicted to trade at $362.46 per 1000 board feet by the end of Q1 in 2023. With supply prices rising like this, the least we can do is offer free shipping on big purchases! Any business aiming to keep up with the times will likely come to offer similar services.

3. One-Stop Shop Operations

In the spirit of increased convenience, don't be surprised if you start seeing more builder supplier companies extend their offerings into other common products that their contractor clients are looking for. Our team, for instance, offers a wide assortment of wholesale building supplies like countertops, cabinets, LVP flooring, and more. We're the go-to provider for everything your kitchen renovation needs, from porcelain tiles to the whole kitchen sink.

In short, expect to see more sustainable, eco-friendly materials and shipping practices. At the same time, you can also expect to see a rise in convenience. One thing is for certain: we'll never stop aiming to provide the top builder supply services. Do you need builder supplies in Kansas City, MO or the surrounding areas?
