What it does

Searches current web sources for pricing on a material or product in a market

Searches supplier sites, distributor pages, and industry sources for current pricing on a specified material or product in a target region. Synthesizes the pulls into a price range and returns it with the source pages the number was drawn from. The output is a current snapshot, not a contracted rate.

When you’d reach for it

  • Pulling current lumber or copper pricing in a region before locking in a bid number.
  • Sourcing ballpark material costs for a job type without making the phone call rounds to suppliers.
  • Comparing material pricing across a handful of regional markets before deciding where to source.
