I get my cabinets (Ready To Assemble, all plywood boxes) and my prefab granite countertops (9') from the same supplier.

In this area most suppliers can have then within two to three days, including Lowes and Homedepot, special order.

@Paul Amegatcher We have a local supplier.

Some plans can be found at a material supplier as well (like a lumber yard).

Here are 2 I could find right away.Kitchen:front room:Those cabinets are avail at big box stores, my guy gets them from the same supplier at the same price lowes/home depot would get them for.

I research my roofer, building suppliers, and other contractors, etc.I have had a DUNS # for my other business for 10 years or so and have, ironically, just applied for a DUNS # about a week ago for my REI biz.

He asks for a room and puts a Euro100 note on the reception counter, takes a key and goes to inspect the room located up the stairs on the third floor.• The hotel owner takes the banknote in a hurry and rushes to his meat supplier to whom he owes E100.• The butcher takes the money and races to his supplier to pay his debt.• The wholesaler rushes to the farmer to pay E100 for pigs he purchased some time ago.• The farmer triumphantly gives the E100 note to a local prostitute who gave him her services on credit.• The prostitute quickly goes to the hotel, as she was owing the hotel for her hourly room used to entertain clients.At that moment, the rich Russian comes down to reception and informs the hotel owner that the room is unsatisfactory and takes his E100 back and departs.There was no profit or income.

Plus mine will pass on his contractor discounts (& we do give him a lot of work).However, on some of the larger jobs we completed we personally contracted with window, door, vanity, kitchen, HVAC etc suppliers.

Also, I got the materials due to a customer special ordering the materials, deciding they didnt want it, and the supplier wouldn't take it back.

If they're so under capitalized that they don't have accounts set up w/suppliers, or they can't front material costs themselves, you don;t want them.
