What to ask for when requesting quotes

For multifamily renovation, you’ll get better pricing and service if you provide:

• Board types and quantities by item
• Unit mix: standard, MR, mold-resistant, abuse-resistant, fire-rated, shaftwall, exterior gypsum sheathing
• Delivery schedule and floor-by-floor phasing
• Jobsite access constraints
• Need for staging, crane/forklift, or limited-access delivery
• Whether you want full truckload pricing or call-off / just-in-time delivery
• ZIP code / market area for freight pricing

Best practice for multifamily renovation sourcing

For these projects, the best supplier is usually the one that can offer:

1. Project pricing
2. Reliable allocation / stock
3. Phased delivery
4. Damage replacement support
5. Local logistics capability
