Welcome to the Purchasing Department

We've pioneered Purchasing-as-a-Service™ (PaaS™) for active or passive Developers, Owners, Investors, Insurers, and Lenders who invest in residential new construction or renovations. We provide an alternative to the traditional purchasing methods used to manage the significant material costs associated with these types of projects. Purchasing-as-a-Service™ (PaaS™) is a game-changing service that transforms and redefines traditional modes of managing material costs into a dynamic system with more cost control, oversight and transparency.

And, considering the U.S. construction services market, which is worth over $1 trillion annually, our PaaS system promises Owners, Investors, Insurers, Lenders a significant edge by overseeing their project inventory costs like never before.

Here's what sets us apart:

Total Cost Control: By managing material inventory costs, you gain control over the total cost of construction. The way you handle your material assets directly influences both your labor productivity and profitability.

Real-time Task Progress Tracking: The relationship between task progression and material usage for that task is direct. Hence, through a detailed assessment of material inventory alterations, PaaS™ offers real-time measurement of each subcontractor's process.
