About The BuildIt Material Exchange

BuildIt Material Exchange was created by people who know the lumber and building materials business from the inside out. Founded by Jason Heistand, owner of Dunlap Lumber & Home, BuildIt began as a practical solution to a common problem: what to do with discontinued, overstock, or hard-to-move materials that take up valuable warehouse space.

Jason saw it firsthand in his own store. Shelves were filled with quality products that simply didn’t have a place in the main showroom anymore. Instead of letting those items go to waste or sit indefinitely, he wanted a better system that helped local lumberyards, contractors, and DIYers connect directly to buy and sell materials that still have plenty of life left.

That idea grew into BuildIt Material Exchange, a regional online marketplace designed to help:

• Lumberyards and hardware stores recoup costs and free up valuable space.

• Contractors and builders find specific or discontinued materials they can’t locate elsewhere.

• DIY homeowners discover affordable, high-quality materials for their projects.
