What project types do you serve?

We specialize in supplying turnkey building-materials and finishes packages for large-scale construction projects, including multifamily developments, hotels, mixed-use properties, office buildings, student housing, senior living, and select industrial or specialty facilities. Our ideal partners are developers, construction management firms, and general contractors who value factory-direct pricing, value-engineering without spec risk, and a single, accountable materials supply partner across Division 9 interiors, exterior systems, and architectural elements. We excel on projects where scale, repeatability, speed, and margin matter—supporting portfolio rollouts, ground-up builds, and major renovations with consistent quality, logistics coordination, and cost certainty.

Are your materials the same quality as brand-name products?

Yes. In many cases, they’re made in the same factories that produce for top U.S. brands—just without the middlemen and markup. All materials come with factory warranties and full technical documentation.

How much can I really save?

  Our clients typically save 20–30% compared to distributor or brand-label pricing—without compromising quality, warranty, or compliance.

How are you able to offer factory-direct pricing?

We work with a global network of 6,000+ audited factories and use bulk consolidation, direct import, and warehouse distribution across 52 U.S. hubs. This lets us eliminate 5–7 layers of markup (manufacturer → distributor → dealer → rep → GC).

Who are your typical clients?

Mid to large-scale savvy builders, multi-unit developers, construction management companies, GCs, and architectural firms who value factory-direct savings, spec integrity, and direct supply chain visibility.

Why should I trust Trillion Sources over traditional distributors?

Distributors sell brand markup. We sell factory truth—the same materials, same warranty, same specs, without inflated pricing. We’re 100% transparent about sourcing origin, testing data, and landed costs.

How does the sourcing process work?

1. Send your spec sheet or plans.
2. We value-engineer each item, finding equal or better matches.
3. You receive a side-by-side comparison with cost, spec match, lead time, and warranty info.
4. Approve your selections and we handle factory ordering, logistics, tariffs, and site delivery.

How long does it take to get quotes for your building materials?

Most quotes are delivered within 3–5 business days once we receive your specs or plans.

Can I request samples?

Absolutely. We provide free or low-cost factory samples so you can verify quality and finish before ordering.

Do you handle shipping and customs?

Yes. Trillion Sources manages door-to-door logistics, including customs clearance, warehousing, and on-site delivery.

Do you charge upfront fees?

No. Because our mission is to save you money on every project, we don’t make money unless we save you money. There are no upfront payments, no consulting fees, and no retainers — our compensation is 100% performance-based. If we don’t deliver savings, you don’t pay a dime.

How do I know materials meet U.S. standards?

Every sourced item includes technical datasheets, ASTM/ANSI certifications, and manufacturer warranties. We only work with factories vetted for U.S. compliance and long-term export history.

What happens if a product arrives damaged or defective?

All materials are covered by a 100% hassle-free factory warranty. We process replacement of any defective item promptly at no cost to you.

Can your materials be substituted in my architectural specs?

Yes. Our value engineering reports include submittal sheets for GC/architect review, showing technical equivalence or superior performance.

How long is the lead time for direct-from-factory orders?

Typical lead times are 4–10 weeks, depending on product category and location. We always provide estimated delivery dates upfront.

Can you deliver to multiple job sites?

Yes. We can split shipments and schedule staged deliveries to multiple sites across the U.S.
