Building supplies include concrete, glass, wood stock forms, pre-fabricated components and other supplies for building and construction applications. Building and construction materials and components are used to construct permanent or temporary buildings, and can include light and plumbing fixtures, conveyance systems, and entrance and egress systems. Suppliers of general-purpose, specialized and proprietary products are located across North America and around the world.

Building supplies are a necessary part of any construction project along with careful planning and proper personnel. Building material manufacturers may offer equipment and components for special construction uses. For example, a building material manufacturer may focus on making architectural components such as doors, stairs, windows, and signage; or may focus on composite materials such as fiberglass, masonry, and particleboard. There are many companies that focus on special building materials such as bricks or cement blocks, sealants and fillers, insulation, roofing materials, and fences. Building and construction materials and components may also including paving equipment for parking lots, as well as bollards or barriers for security.
