We become your procurement department: bulk orders, bid tools, scheduling and delivery to every jobsite.
Big construction firms, small crews, and one-person flippers fixing up a house on the weekend: send the whole job and we'll crush the materials bill. Full remodels and project orders can reach about 20% off the shelf price, delivered to your job site.
Are you a little mom-and-pop shop, or a multi-billion-dollar corporation? We can handle it all.
Think of us as your procurement department. You send the list; we price it, buy it, track it and handle returns, so your crew stays on the job instead of in the checkout line and finishes sooner. We can even build your schedules for you, in P6 or any format, by crew or however you want them. No amount is too big. Send us as much as you want; we can handle it all.

We know the struggles: hard money loans, points, holding costs, and a materials budget that keeps creeping up. Enter your own numbers below, including your loan terms and your local sales tax.
Every flipper has walked away from a house that looked good until the materials budget killed the numbers. Lower material costs cut your repair budget, which raises your maximum offer under the 70% rule and adds straight to your profit. Plug your own numbers in below, then carry the savings into your flip-or-not model.

Example numbers are filled in; replace them with yours. Savings are estimates (typical categories run about 2% to 15% off the store's regular price, sometimes more) and include the sales tax you save on the lower price. Taxes on profit are a simple flat-rate estimate; ask your tax pro. Your actual price comes from your quote. This is a planning tool, not financial advice.
Take market share from your competitors. On a close bid, that 1% can make all the difference. We work like your procurement department, so you can focus on building.
Free calculators for homeowners, contractors and investors. Every result is an estimate; your quote gives the real price. Nothing you type into these tools is saved or sent to us (privacy policy). House flip calculator · Contractor bid edge · Store run cost · Water heater payback
Cut your overhead. Win more bids.
Stop paying crews to make store runs. We source and deliver, and you get 30+ years of professional construction estimating and engineering experience behind every quote. See what lower material costs do to your margin, or how much lower you could bid and still make the same money.

Store runs are an unrealized cost. Every trip pulls your crew off the job, so you lose productivity that never shows up on a receipt. Skip the runs and your crew finishes the job sooner and moves on to the next one.
Every trip to the store is paid crew time plus miles on the truck. Enter your numbers to see the yearly cost, then compare it with the delivery line in your Cart Crusher quote.
| Crew time per week | |
| Truck miles per week | |
| Store runs per year | |
| Billable hours lost per year |
Cost per mile defaults to 70 cents, the IRS standard business mileage rate for 2025; use your own fleet cost if you track it. Prefer not to use this tool? Email support at support@cartcrushers.com.
Compare a hybrid heat pump water heater with your current electric tank. Hybrids typically use about a third to a quarter of the electricity of a standard electric tank.

Not sure what you spend? A family of four often spends a few hundred to $700 or more a year on an electric tank, depending on local rates. Check your utility for heat pump water heater rebates. Replacing an 80-gallon tank? A 50-gallon hybrid with a tank-booster mixing valve can often do the job for less; ask about sizing.

A little mom-and-pop shop or a multi-billion-dollar corporation, we can handle it all. Wholesalers, resellers, contractors and property managers: send your current prices and we'll show you where we can beat them and improve your margins. Bulk and truckload quotes are welcome.
Even if it's just you, supplying the home improvement products people use every day, we can help you line up good pricing for your startup so you can compete from the start. Send us your product list and expected quantities, and we'll put together a quote. We're in it with you for the long haul: we'll build a strong working relationship and help you grow and succeed.
Pricing you send is kept confidential. It's used only to prepare your quote and isn't shared.
Most suppliers sell you materials and stop there. Our founder brings 30+ years of professional construction estimating and engineering experience, and you can get construction support on your project as an add-on service quoted per job.
Crush those prices. Improve your margins. Free up cash you can put to work elsewhere.
Win more bids and keep more of every job. Construction is a tight-margin, very competitive business, and materials are one of the biggest costs you control. Every dollar you save on materials goes straight to your bottom line, or lets you sharpen your bid and still make your number. Lower material costs also leave more capital on hand to deploy elsewhere: the next job, new equipment, or another crew. That's the edge, whether you're a one-truck, mom-and-pop shop or a large builder running multiple crews and projects. No job too small or too big: projects estimated from small jobs to multi-billion-dollar programs, right down to one homeowner.
| Example job | Store price | Through Cart Crusher |
|---|---|---|
| Contract price | $100,000 | $100,000 |
| Materials | $35,000 | $29,750 |
| Labor and overhead | $55,000 | $55,000 |
| Your profit | $10,000 (10%) | $15,250 (15.3%) |
Illustration only, assuming 15% off materials plus no change to labor or overhead; sales tax savings would add to it. In this example, saving 15% on materials raises profit by more than half. Or keep your $10,000 profit and bid about $5,000 lower than the next contractor. Your actual savings depend on your quote.
