Is BuildSite a manufacturer of building products?
BuildSite is a product and technical database for construction. We do not manufacturer any of the products listed in our database. Instead, we publish information from hundreds of major manufactures in the construction industry. Our database houses thousands of documents containing product information in the form of product data sheets, MSDS, guide specifications, installations instructions, technical notes, and environmentally responsive documentation.
Does BuildSite distribute the building products on the site?
BuildSite is not a building materials distributor. To find a distributor in your area, navigate to the detail page of the product you would like to purchase. Then, enter your zip code into the “Find a local distributor” box. We will give you a list of suppliers in your area who carry that manufacturer’s products.
How do I find a distributor?
Once you have found the product you are looking for, enter your zip code into the Distributor search on the product detail page. Alternately, you can go directly to the Distributor Directory from Free Basic Search.
I need technical help with a product listed on your site. Where can I find it?
Each manufacturer on BuildSite has a Manufacturer Detail Page with contact information including mailing address, telephone number, fax number, and website address. You can find this page by clicking on the company name. Manufacturers have technical teams that can help you with any questions.
What geographic range does the Distributor Database cover?
The Distributor Database covers the entire United States, including Alaska and Hawaii.
How do I find UL Systems?
Type “UL Systems” into Manufacturer Search to find a list of products that fit into UL-approved systems.
