Supply Chain & Materials: How to Reduce Cost & Increase Availability

What It's About

Supply chain disruptions and materials shortages are two of the biggest challenges affecting today’s industry and your ability to build profitably. While no silver bullet exists, builders can find relief by working earnestly with their subcontractors and suppliers to lower each other’s operating costs. It starts by asking a single question, “What is it we do that costs you money?” and then acting on those responses. In this advanced session, hear from a veteran builder/supply chain executive who embraces a ‘suppliers first’ strategy to reduce paint points and therefore unnecessary costs. Explore new pricing and product strategies you can employ in partnership with your suppliers and subcontractors.
