Plaster walls have long been associated with sophistication, texture, and timeless appeal From hospitality lounges and boutique retail to corporate lobbies and wellness spaces, the depth and richness of a hand-applied plaster finish is hard to beat.

Tight deadlines, unpredictable schedules, and phased openings are standard across today’s commercial construction projects But when tile work becomes the bottleneck, everything downstream suffers—from interior handoffs to tenant occupancy.

In the building materials distribution industry, selecting the right roof coating is not just about protecting the surface; it’s about improving energy efficiency, extending the lifespan of the roof, and ensuring compliance with environmental standards One of the key metrics used to evaluate the performance of roof coatings is the Solar Reflectance Index (SRI).
For building owners, contractors, and distributors, understanding the role of SRI in roof coatings can lead to smarter product selection, reduced energy costs, and compliance with local building codes and sustainability certifications.
In this blog, we’ll dive into the importance of Solar Reflectance Index in roof coatings, how it affects energy efficiency, and what factors should be considered when selecting roof coatings based on SRI values.

In the building materials distribution industry, inventory accuracy is the key to running a smooth operation When your inventory is off, it affects everything from customer satisfaction to profitability, and the repercussions are felt throughout your entire supply chain.

In the fast-paced world of building materials distribution, one of the biggest challenges is managing inventory efficiently From stockouts to overstocking, inventory issues can directly impact profitability, operational efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

In the competitive world of building material distribution, efficiency and responsiveness are key to winning and retaining customers Yet, one of the most common—and often frustrating—issues for customers is the outdated quoting process.

The construction industry is seeing a shift in workforce demographics, with Generation Z entering the workforce in increasing numbers As they begin to fill essential roles, including those on the yard handling materials, managing inventory, and supporting dispatch operations, distributors need to rethink their training methods.

Yard managers are the backbone of any building materials distribution operation They are responsible for managing inventory, overseeing dispatch, and ensuring that materials are available and ready for timely delivery.

Tech alone won’t fix a forklift jam at 6:45 AM on a Monday.
From conference stages to product roadmaps, Silicon Valley loves to talk about “digitizing distribution.” But in building-materials supply, the truth is simple: you can’t SaaS your way out of a muddy lot, a misloaded boom truck, or a shorted drywall order The yard—the physical, dusty, loud, and high-pressure center of the business—is still where margins are made or lost.
At Buldix and similar distributors, technology matters.

Because a missing pallet isn’t just a mistake—it’s a margin killer.
In the world of building-materials distribution, inventory accuracy is the foundation of every successful operation And yet, even in 2025, many yards still lose profit daily due to simple SKU tracking errors: miscounted bundles of OSB, missing lengths of rebar, or incorrect lot codes on insulation.
