About Us
Buildstock is a NYC-based construction material procurement platform; that connects buyers and suppliers of base building materials. We provide real-time access to buying materials from local suppliers that save time & money for buyers. We also provide Materials Financing to buyers who qualify and factoring for Purchasing Orders to Suppliers, for early payments; significantly improving cashflow & the economics of the business on both sides. For Suppliers, we drive the growth of Purchase Orders and significantly improve the speed of payment from the traditional net terms; improving their business cashflows & business economics.
We’re focused solely on base building materials: Insulation, plywood, metal framing, lumber, and drywall.
We’re focused on high-rise development projects (residential or commercial), and industrial construction projects both Public and Private; in the tri-state area.
