Managing Hardwood Lumber Supply for Job Sites & Woodworking Projects
A job site manager’s responsibility is to ensure that the team has all the tools and building materials needed to get the project done. And as a contractor, hardwood flooring and lumber supply should be on the top of your list. Whether you’re remodeling a home or building from the ground up, fine hardwood products have a way of elevating any new space or project.
Hardwood Projects For Home Building and Beyond
Hardwood lumber projects can range from small furniture and accent pieces to interior shelving units and hardwood floors.
If you’re hoping for a good end result, it’s important to invest in high-quality materials before beginning your project. Afterall, working with low-quality wood means more time sanding down rough edges and smoothing out imperfections.
For your next project, save time by sourcing the highest quality products possible, whether you’re working with hardwood floors, intricate millwork or custom mouldings.
Also, be sure to take advantage of experienced distributors and sales staff, like the professionals at Baird Brothers, to minimize headaches (and scope creep) while also getting insight on the best product options. These professionals are a great resource to have in your back pocket, even if your questions are as simple as asking about the newest trends (like live sawn white oak for floors).

Keep Job Site Projects Moving Forward
It’s no secret that the pandemic caused some drastic changes to the building industry, from skyrocketing prices to difficulty sourcing products. In fact, in many cases, some of the biggest residential construction headaches stem from supply chain concerns.
