Material & Equipment Procurement

Sourcing and purchasing for building materials and construction equipment, tracked from order to delivery.

What is material & equipment procurement?

We source and purchase the physical materials and equipment a project needs: structural materials, finishes, mechanical and electrical equipment, and specialty items called out in the spec.

Every order is tracked against the project schedule so materials show up when the site is ready for them, not before and not late.

  • Equipment rental and purchase coordination

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of materials and equipment does Northlane procure?

Structural and finish materials, mechanical and electrical equipment, and specialty items called out in a project's drawings and specs — sourced from vetted vendors.

What happens if a specified product is unavailable?

We flag the availability issue immediately and bring the architect or owner an equivalent substitution to review before it affects the schedule.

Do you handle equipment rentals too?

Yes, we coordinate both the purchase of materials and the rental or purchase of equipment needed for the project.

Can you competitively bid a large material package?

Yes. For major packages we solicit pricing from multiple qualified vendors and bring the owner or GC the comparison before committing.
