The Executive Council on Construction Supply is a private think tank composed of leading independent construction suppliers throughout the U.S. and Canada, plus a select group of manufacturers, wholesalers, and service providers.
We’re not a roundtable; we don’t share financials. Our purpose is to study the marketplace, identify emerging opportunities, and develop strategies to capitalize on them.
Most of our members are market leaders, but size is not a criterion for membership. We simply look for the most forward-thinking, aggressive companies we can find. If they aren’t market leaders now, they will be soon.

A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY
In the midst of an unprecedented worldwide boom in equity investment, consolidation is accelerating in every industry, including the LBM channel. That’s a breeding ground for innovation as megaplayers scramble to please Wall Street and independents strive to secure their competitive position.
However it plays out, the industry is entering a period of rapid change—and upheaval. To some that’s a threat; to others, an opportunity. If you believe you’re facing the opportunity of a lifetime, you’ll find your peers in the Executive Council on Construction Supply.
