Building Products Inc.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could control the rain? Especially when it comes to protecting your home or business from water damage? (And maybe guarantee that your kid’s outdoor birthday party won’t get washed out?)  James Hardie and Barricade Building Products can’t help you with the birthday party thing, but they CAN reliably get moisture away from your buildings to prevent mold, mildew, and water damage.  In a damp region like the Midwest, builders need to make sure they’re adding as much water protection as possible, and combining JH siding with Barricade housewrap will do just that.

At BPI, we’re always focused on improving quality for our customers. Our UV paint flat line for milling production got a recent efficiency upgrade. This upgrade allows us to improve paint quality by increasing the volume of paint applied and increasing dry time for faster production. Focusing on improving our quality standards means better products for our customers that are more readily available. This is just one of many reasons to buy doors from BPI: https://lnkd.in/d-BuTM5T #damageprevention #lumber #buildingmaterials #lumberyard #lumberdealer #buildingproducts #millwork #doors #windowsanddoors #trim #buildingtrends #buildingindustry #construction #jobsite #warehousemanagement

According to WarehousingAndFulfillment.com, the average cost to run a warehouse in the U.S. is now $8.31 per square foot. That’s 6.4% higher than it was just four years ago. Inventory carrying costs can add up in a hurry, and lumberyards need to find distributors who will work with them to lower those costs. At BPI, we store inventory until you actually need it, so you don’t need to incur those costs.

Is your warehouse as efficient as it could be? If you’re not sure, that means you’re not getting enough visibility into your inventory and operations.

We offer: - An optimized bin location system - Enhanced packaging processes - Job Packs that bundle related items so they arrive at the same time - A Picture Delivery Program for easy tracking Learn more about improving your warehouse and yard’s efficiency: https://lnkd.in/gtVHhSfR #damageprevention #lumber #buildingmaterials #lumberyard #lumberdealer #buildingproducts #packaginginnovations #packaginginnovation #packagingsolutions #logistics #logisticsmanagement #distribution #distributionlogistics #warehouse #efficiency #BuildingProductsInc #BPI

What’s eating away at your lumberyard’s profits? If you’re only looking at price, you’re overlooking a large percentage of your true costs. For lumberyards, total cost of ownership is about more than just the purchase price – a lot more. There are additional costs involved, like the time and resources spent on shopping and extra paperwork. Then there are holding costs, like inventory turnover, shortages, shrinkage, and overhead. That’s not to mention that one-and-done distribution deals are much less reliable when their regular customers take precedence. When you run the numbers, you’ll find that bargain hunting will cost you more than you think your spending. Lumberyards thrive when they get well-packaged, top-tier product on time.
