This Is Why You're Here
Why Building Materialss Come to Us Instead of Their Bank
Lumber prices dropped 20% and you want to buy heavy while the market is low. A $200K bulk lumber purchase at today's prices saves $50K when prices normalize. But you need the cash now.
A homebuilder awarded you a 50-home subdivision supply contract — $1.2M over 18 months. Initial inventory and delivery equipment cost $300K. The builder pays per-house completion.
Your delivery fleet needs a new flatbed truck ($85K) and a forklift ($35K). You're subbing out deliveries at $400/trip because your fleet can't keep up with demand.
A roofing contractor needs 600 squares of shingles for a $1.1M commercial job — your cost is $95K. He pays net-30 after installation but needs delivery in 5 days. Your cash is locked in last month's drywall order.
Your biggest drywall supplier is discontinuing a popular SKU. You can buy their remaining $70K stock at 30% below cost — but the window closes in 48 hours and your credit line is tapped.
Lumber prices dropped 20% and I needed $200K to buy heavy before they bounced back. Basecamp funded me in 48 hours. When prices normalized, that bulk buy saved us over $50K. Paid for the financing five times over.

Why Building Materials Businesses Choose Basecamp
Commodity Dips Don't Wait for Banks
Lumber just dropped 20%. You need $200K to buy heavy before prices bounce back. By the time your bank approves, the window closed and you missed $50K in savings. We fund bulk buys in 48 hours.
Builder Contracts Pay Per Completion
A homebuilder awarded you a 50-home subdivision contract — $1.2M over 18 months. But they pay per-house completion. You need $300K upfront for initial inventory and delivery equipment. That's a long float for a supply company.
Delivery Fleet Gaps Cost You Jobs
You're subbing out deliveries at $400/trip because your flatbed broke down. That's $2K/week in extra costs while you wait for a bank to approve an $85K truck. We finance equipment in days, not months.
Yard Inventory Ties Up Serious Capital
Drywall, roofing, concrete — it's heavy, bulky, and expensive. You've got $500K sitting in the yard at any given time. When a contractor needs 40 pallets of shingles tomorrow, you either have it or you lose the account.

Building Materials Business Loan FAQs
Building Materials Distribution Loans & Lumber Supply Financing — $10K to $10M+
Building materials distribution is capital-heavy. You've got $500K in yard inventory — lumber, drywall, roofing, concrete. And the game is all about timing. When commodity prices dip, the distributors who can buy heavy make a killing. A $200K bulk lumber purchase at a 20% discount saves $50K when prices normalize. But you need the cash now. Not in 3 weeks when your bank finally calls back. We fund bulk buys in 48 hours.
And then there's the builder contracts. A 50-home subdivision contract sounds great — $1.2M over 18 months. But the builder pays per completion. You're fronting $300K in materials and delivery equipment before the first house is framed. We match you with 70+ lenders who get how building supply works. $20K material order or a $2M yard expansion — 60 seconds to apply, no hard pull.
