Material Sourcing

Why not owning a pit is an advantage

A quarry sells you what the quarry has. We are a sourcing and trucking operation, which means we buy from whichever pit, yard or recycler is nearest to your site and actually carries the material you specified.

Across four counties and 245 road miles, that flexibility is usually worth more than owning production. A job in Homestead and a job in Boca Raton should not be supplied from the same place, and with us they are not.

Hard-to-find material

Specific gradations, spec-grade base to a named FDOT section, unusual decorative stone, particular colours — if it exists in this market we can usually find it. Send us the plan sheet rather than a description and we will match it.

One call, one invoice

A job needing base rock, bedding sand, drainage stone and fill is four suppliers, four deliveries and four invoices if you buy direct. With us it is one quote, one coordinated delivery schedule and one invoice at the end.

How ordering works

There is no account to open and no portal to log into. You tell us the material, the tonnage, the site address and when you need it on the ground, and we come back with a locked, all-in delivered price — usually within the hour during business hours.

That price includes the haul. We quote delivered, not ex-pit, so the number we give you is the number on the invoice. If you are comparing quotes, check whether the other one has trucking in it.

What we need from you

• Material and gradation. If you are working from a plan set, send us the page — it saves a conversation.
• Quantity in tons, or the dimensions. If you have length, width and depth we will work the tonnage out. The tonnage calculator does it too.
• Site address and access notes. Overhead wires, gate widths, soft ground, HOA windows, where exactly the pile goes.
• When you need it. Same-day, a date, or a window against a construction programme.

Payment

First-time customers are COD or prepay for the first few loads. Once there is a clean payment history we move qualified customers onto standard credit terms with a signed credit application. We take ACH, check and major cards, and terms are confirmed at quote rather than negotiated at delivery.

On jobs where we are delivering material to real property we can preserve lien rights under Florida statute by filing a Notice to Owner within 45 days of first delivery. It protects everyone in the payment chain, and it means we get paid, which means you keep getting material on time.

Why contractors use us

We are a sourcing and trucking operation rather than a pit. That is the whole model, and it is worth understanding because it changes what we are good at.

We do not own a quarry, so we are not trying to sell you what our quarry happens to have. We buy from whichever pit, yard or recycler is closest to your job and has the material you actually specified, and we haul it to you. On a market this spread out — four counties and two hundred and forty road miles — that flexibility is usually worth more than owning a hole in the ground.

The practical version of that: one call, one invoice, one point of contact. If a job needs base rock, bedding sand, fill and drainage stone, that is one quote from us instead of four suppliers to chase, four deliveries to coordinate and four invoices to reconcile.

We are locally owned, based in Fort Lauderdale, and there is no call centre. When you ring, you get somebody who knows what a tri-axle can and cannot get into.
