Mohammed Brais from Asset Builders in New South Wales realized that independent construction owners suffer financially because they lack the volume to negotiate competitive pricing on their own. Small volume companies building two to ten homes a year are routinely forced to rush concrete deliveries or pay up to 30 percent more for timber simply because they quote projects independently.

By transitioning these companies into a cooperative buying group model for 59 dollars a month, Mohamed ensures that even small builders receive the exact same pricing and one-hour free wait times as large scale developers. Instead of sending out individual quotes and getting labeled as tire kickers, builders rely on the collective volume of over 500 members to negotiate superior service terms and heavily discounted cubic meter rates across all trades.
