The Nuts & Bolts of Building Materials Distribution

If there’s one thing that’s been H-O-T in DFW… it’s building and construction. You expected me to say the 100+ temps we Texans have been ‘enjoying’?! Well, if you haven’t noticed the surge in development, just walk out your front door and start paying attention! It seems to be everywhere you look: both corporate and home. Houses are being built new. Full neighborhoods seemingly go up overnight. Homes are being remodeled. Backyards getting updated with decks, pools, turf and more. Corporations are building new workspaces to keep up with ever-changing industry standards. Hospitals and urgent care centers are popping up left and right.

And with all of this development, one thing is consistent no matter what is being built: they all require building materials distribution. And that’s where Eagle Express comes in. Excellent, efficient logistics is the name of the game when it comes to building materials distribution in Dallas, DFW and beyond. Let’s take a look at the basic nuts and bolts of this unique industry that we are honored to serve.

·         Scheduled Delivery Routes are critical. When it comes to building materials distribution, routes are a key component. A variety of work sites need daily deliveries. Some need every-other-day, some need bi-weekly and some need weekly. Our specialized building materials distribution Dallas team works to establish a delivery schedule that equally supports both the builder and the supplier.

·         Hotshot deliveries are critical. If I had a penny for every time a route customer needed a one-off hotshot delivery… I’d have a lot of pennies, folks! Routes are of course important when delivering supplies. But what would happen without hotshot deliveries!? Efficiency would come to a screeching halt on most every build. Construction is a game of planning and also working on the fly. Things can change on a dime. A customer can change their mind midday. Suddenly, you need a different wood type or a new set of hardware. Hotshot deliveries have saved construction timelines. And who does hotshot building materials distribution in Dallas best?! Yep, you know who! Eagle Express of course!

·         Knowledge of materials is critical. Anyone can make a delivery. Pickup, drive, drop-off. It seems so very simple. And yet, there’s so much in between that makes a delivery meh or WOW! We want the wow. We want the “thank you so much for saving this day’s work!” That kind of feedback requires knowledge of materials that we deliver. Our team takes time to learn about the industries we serve. When it comes to building materials distribution Dallas, we invest energy into knowing what you do, what you need and the materials you use. Decking, sealants, caulking, hardware, locksets, backer board, insulation, wood, concrete products, roofing products, hangers and fasteners – that’s what we deliver, that’s what you need, that’s what we care about.

·         Warehousing is critical. We offer warehousing services for large and small products. Safe, secure, easily accessible whenever you need it.
