American Direct Procurement, Inc. started business with one primary goal:
"To help
our customers buy materials In the most cost-effective way possible."
That goal was born out of our belief that the construction marketplace had become
increasingly complex and competitive. Contractors were facing growing pressure from
owners, architects, institutions and end-users to meet unrealistic timelines and overly
aggressive budgets.
The marketplace forced contractors to buy materials from suppliers at distribution points
that
were inconvenient, costly, and that provided little service or expertise. in short,
contractors
working in large commercial markets (i.e. government, lodging/hospitality, multi-family,
elder
care) were not limited by geography in their project work, yet construction material
manufac-
turers were "married" to outdated geographic-based distribution channels.
AMERICAN DIRECT has developed relationships with over 800 of the most respected and well
known manufacturers of construction materials in the industry. These factories understand
that limited or exclusive distribution within cities, states or regions works well in
standard markets, yet fall short regarding the larger commercial construction project
marketplace. Alternatives must be found to provide their products to both markets.
Together with our factories AMERICAN DIRECT developed a service
that provides these construction materials directly to you from the point of production to
your jobsite. These factorydirect relationships mean that you save money on the products
you buy, you work with only one supplier who understands and is not intimidated by the
requirements of large construction contract bid work, and you work with a supplier
committed to meeting the demands of your time schedule.
AMERICAN DIRECT has proven to be the alternative to standard distribution and, as you will
see in the following pages, we have positioned ourselves to be a market leader in
commercial construction material procurement. We are excited about our accomplishments and
remain intent on providing to our customers the highest quality materials and value-added
service ,Possible. You as "partners" will continue to dictate and be the focus
of our business decisions and we look forward to serving you well into the 21st century. |
