Welcome to Corporate Purchasing!
For years, Custom Builders and locally-based Production Builders have strived to secure good pricing, and valuable incentives from their Vendors, only to find that the best deals always go to the Big Production Builders. Its been virtually impossible to match the savings that national builders can reap by their ability to purchase in large quantities. Until NOW.
Corporate Purchasing has formulated a strategy that allows small and medium sized residential builders to pool together and use their Collective Buying Power, and enjoy some of the same benefits that their national builder counterparts have taken advantage of for years.
Our services dont start and end with Rebate Programs, but expand to a whole series of cost-savings initiatives, at "little" to "no" up-front fees or out-of-pocket costs.
It is our objective to be a fully-functional and flexible, outsourced Corporate Purchasing Department for all our Builders & Vendors Partners. If you need all of our services or just one or two, we can customize our offerings, to fit your specific needs.
Let us be YOUR Ideal Corporate Purchasing Department!

Scope of Work Documents
There is no disputing the following statement: There is POWER in NUMBERS! Big Production Builders have capitalized on that principle, and saved their companies millions and millions each QUARTER!
Corporate Purchasing has created a system, where like Builders join forces and using a number of purchasing strategies, secure Rebate Programs, Discounts and other Incentives, that they might not have otherwise achieved, individually.
Corporate Purchasing has secured several Rebate Programs, Discounts and Incentives, based on the Collective Purchasing Power of the Builders we represent, including the potential volume of Builders within our pipeline.
Our Partners include National Manufacturers, Local Subcontractors, and everything in between. To view a list of our Preferred Vendor Partners, please click on the Partners Page. We are always adding programs to the list; Enrolled Builders have access to a Secure Website that lists all the available programs, as well as a wealth of information to help their businesses grow.
In this day and age, you cant be too careful with your business investments. Whether building in a Multi-Builder Community, contracting with new Trades or even just re-evaluating your current Trades, you should base these decisions on more than just a hunch, or upon a friendship. Run their Dun & Bradstreet Business Credit Report, check their Public Records and verify that your investment is in safe and secure hands.
We all know of Builders that seem to be thriving one month, and going out of business the next. And worse, sometimes they cause a chain reaction and their Trades fail, because they may have been too dependent on the other business, or if they had their product tied up in homes, and the Builders didnt pay. You hope it never happens to you, but it is happening more frequently.
Often issues surface that may seem unavoidable, but that doesnt always have to be the case. Make it a policy to run quarterly reports, and dont be caught off-guard.

Reverse Auctions are a great way to achieve “Optimal Savings”, but is not appropriate for every type of Trade or Vendor Relationship.
It works best in a “Buyers Market” where you have several Vendors knocking on your door for your business, and you can award the contract, based primarily on pricing.
Reverse Auctions can take anywhere from 3 weeks to 1 month to setup, with the majority of work tasked to Corporate Purchasing. The savings achieved can be very dramatic and when it is all over, whoever wins—wins. The winning Vendor is not a recommendation, but must be awarded the contract.
If you are interested in learning more about Reverse Auctions, please call or e-mail Annie Brown at 817-874-6465 or annie.brown_corporatepurchasing.net.

Monthly Lunch & Learn
Suggested by a Builder, the Monthly Lunch & Learns have quickly become a favored event, for both Builders and Trade Partners.
Corporate Purchasing facilitates the luncheon, inviting only Builders and their staffs, promoting the event through many different avenues, while the Sponsoring Vendor pays for the lunch.
We also supply the Sponsoring Vendor all of the statistical data, behind their luncheon campaign.
Our Partners
Corporate Purchasing's top two objectives are:
1. To support the growth of the Residential Builders we represent, to reduce their overall cost of material and to increase their profitability.
2. To partner with the Industry-Leaders in National, State & Local Manufacturers, Distributors and Trade Contractors, to meet and exceed the needs of the Builders that we represent, and to grow their business within our Builder-Base.
Our Business Plan is built around a Win-Win-Win philosophy. Our services grow with each Builder and Trade Contractor that we partner with, but we are only successful if we are able to lower costs for our Builders and raise sales for our Vendors. This can be achieved through many different services that we offer, but the primary service is our Negotiated Rebate Programs & our Rebate Program Management.
