Franklin Building Supply

Franklin Building Supply, or FBS as the company is familiarly known, is the largest professional dealer of building products in the state of Idaho and parts of Nevada. FBS supplies more residential and commercial building supplies and service to professional builders than any other company. While some of its competitors are bigger and known nationally, in its home state more building contractors trust FBS with their business than any other. FBS provides products to building contractors that range from gutters, windows, roofing siding to fencing and floor coverings. FBS provides market information in the form of a monthly report to its customers. The report tracks the market fluctuations. The progress of the market is tracked and a historical perspective is achieved. To do this, FBS established three hypothetical homes of varying sizes and difficulty. The commodity materials used in each hypothetical home remain the same from month to month in order to get an accurate comparison from period to period.
