Builder Sourcing Launches Supply Side News for the Homebuilding Industry

First-Ever Supply-Side Newsletter Focused on Lowering the Costs of Homebuilding

DENVER--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--New-home sales are starting to show some improvement, but the homebuilding industry is still struggling to make a comeback. To improve margins in this environment, builders have to save as much money as possible on the supply side. Perhaps this is easier said than done. Builder Sourcing Corporation (BSC), the largest cost-management group for builders, is launching Supply Side News, an e-newsletter focused solely on supply-side information and cost-saving, margin-improving strategies.

Builder Sourcing is a professional services firm that allows builders to work smarter by removing costs from the supply chain, establishing long-term commodity purchase agreements and maximizing manufacturer rebate and incentive programs.

Supply Side News will regularly feature BSC’s commodity trackers such as drywall, lumber, concrete and steel so that builders can make better buying decisions. For example, BSC’s Lumber Cost Tracker monitors an average house pack's lumber cost by region, giving builders insight into the lumber market and going beyond a generalized commodity index. The results will be presented in dollars per typical home vs. the traditional dollars per MBF measure.

Supply Side News will also feature regular cost-saving strategies as well as ideas from contributing builders and suppliers. Highlighted will be general supply-side news about new or improved products and ideas for lowering costs and improving margins.

Builder Sourcing is releasing the first bi-monthly e-newsletter January 15, 2010. Anyone wanting the latest cost-savings news can sign up by visiting www.buildersourcing.com.
