Contractors Options for Purchasing Supplies

About Me

Hey! My name is Larry Henderson. I’m a building contractor who has a decent size crew of sub-contractors with whom I work. We don’t have a purchasing agent; most of us have to shop for and purchase our own supplies. Many people probably think of big heavy equipment when they think of construction or industrial equipment. While some of it is large, there are also a number of supplies we need that are small.
