Building Materials Market

by a searcher

1 month ago

Has anyone acquired a company in the building materials industry or know someone who has?

I'm interested in learning more about this marketplace. 

I have a JV with a local home builder in Cleveland, OH. to build 10 townhomes.

I have a logistics background in the U.S. Navy and I believe there are new sustainable materials that I've seen in international markets and new technological innovations that are coming out of the R&D process for residential and commercial real estate.

I wonder if there's room for a newer building materials company that specializes in special hard/unique materials with technical properties to come online into the marketplace or if it's much easier to acquire an existing building materials company and add new products? 

I welcome any pushback or insight. Thanks in advance!

Hello Naji, I worked in flooring distribution in both residential and commercial for several years. I am unsure what specific product category you’re looking at but could give you insights to how we operated and maybe help give you some ideas. Message me if you’d like to hop on a quick call.
