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.
