Material Takeoffs

The right materials. Right store. Right price. Right week.

Built Around the Build Schedule

Materials are grouped by phase — so you're not buying flooring the same week you're doing rough framing. Each phase shows exactly what to buy, from where, at what price, and whether it's available for same-day pickup or needs to be ordered. No overspending on materials sitting on a job site for three weeks.

🛒 Cart Note: Amazon cart links on this page are real — tapping "Build Amazon Cart" opens a live pre-loaded cart. Home Depot and Lowe's cart links open the product page for each item directly (no public cart API available without a Pro partnership). In-store pickup availability is flagged in real time. Items marked SHIP ONLY or 7+ DAYS are flagged so you know what needs to be ordered early.
