The problem

You're losing 6 hours a week on parts runs.

Mid-size crews juggle 4 supplier accounts, 12 phone numbers, and a shoebox of receipts. Prices change daily. Stockouts kill schedules. Foremen call the office; the office calls 3 stores; the job sits.

  • Foreman sends a photo of a SKU at 7am — office calls 4 stores, books a delivery, replies at 10:30am.
  • Markup on the 60% of items you bought retail because nobody had time to compare.
  • Returns, mis-orders, and "I thought you ordered it" finger-pointing.

Material price volatility isn't in your head.

81% of subcontractors say it's hurt their business.
2/3 have switched suppliers over pricing and procurement headaches.

How it works

Search, then compare.

Search for a material, and BuildVaro shows you the price across supported retailers so you can see where it's cheapest before you order.

STEP 01

Build the supply list

Type, paste, or scan SKUs. Or duplicate a job template — bathroom reno, panel swap, roof replace. Smart quantity rounding for boxes, coils, sheets.

Features

Built for the parts counter, not the boardroom.

Job templates

Save a bathroom reno or panel swap once; spawn it for every future bid with current prices auto-filled.

Budget vs. actuals

Live job P&L. Watch material spend tick against the bid as the foreman approves each line.

Quotes & invoicing

Build a professional quote, send it for approval, and turn it into an invoice — all tied to the same job.

Coming soon

On the roadmap.

SKU scanner

Aim your phone at a barcode, get a 4-store price compare with stock counts on screen in under a second.

Price-lock alerts

Watch a SKU and we'll lock the lowest price the moment it drops — even after hours.

Unified delivery

Route every PO through one dashboard. ETA, dock window, driver phone — even when 4 trucks roll separately.

Pro pricing built in

Link your Grainger or Ferguson account and your negotiated pricing, bulk breaks, and tax exemption ride along automatically. For other retailers, you'll check out directly with your existing pro account.

Offline mode

Approvals sync the moment you hit signal. The yard's dead-zone won't kill your morning.

Crew permissions

Foremen approve up to a cap; PMs sign anything; apprentices can build a list but not place. Audit trail on every line.

QuickBooks & Xero

POs, receipts, and job costing flow straight to your books. No more shoebox at tax time.

Direct retailer ordering

Place POs directly with Grainger and Ferguson without leaving BuildVaro, once direct ordering integration is live.

Regional supplier coverage

Compare pricing from local lumber yards and regional specialty suppliers, not just the national chains.

Prices shown are launch estimates, subject to change. No contracts — cancel anytime.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No contract. Cancel from account settings and you won't be billed again — you keep access through the end of your current period.

Are retailer prices marked up?

Never. You see the same price the retailer would quote you direct.

What happens to my jobs and invoices if I downgrade to Free?

Nothing is deleted. Your jobs, quotes, and invoices stay in your account as read-only until you resubscribe.

What happens to Pro pricing after beta?

Pro is free while we're in beta. When we launch full pricing, current beta users get a limited-time discounted rate before standard pricing applies. We'll give you advance notice either way.

Stop chasing parts. Start finishing jobs.
