The Problem of Left Over Building Materials
Project owners often get stuck with building materials left over when the work is finished. That is true whether the project owner is a do-it-yourselfer making improvements to their own home, a landlord who hired a contractor to upgrade an investment property, or anyone else who purchased more materials than were needed.
Got Stuff? We buy surplus inventory and hard to recycle items. Call us before you send it to the landfill!
Contractors often end up with excess building materials as well, but in most cases, the project owner, not the contractor, pays for those materials and owns them.
Common Questions About Left Over Building Materials
Before arriving at the idea of selling the excess building materials, the project owner may have the following questions and below we list why the solution may not be viable:
Question 1: Should I just hold onto them in case I can use them in the future?
- If they will not be needed again this solution will not work for you
- If there is no where to store the material this will not work for you
- This is not a great solution either if you would like some return on your investment
Question 2: Could I return them to where they were purchased and get a refund for them?
- Not if the packages have been opened
- It may cost too much to load and transport
- Not if the deadline has passed
Question 3: Should I leave them near the road and stick a For Sale sign on them?
- Lack of traffic passing will lead to lack of sales
- If you are moving on from the location, you will not be available to sell
- If you want to keep your contact information discreet, this is not a good option for you
- Weather damage may be a problem with this solution
- Theft is also a problem with this solution
Question 4: Would I find a buyer if I put an ad in the classified section of our local newspaper?
- This depends on where you are located and how successful this tactic is there
- Advertisement costs money
- This could waste time
- Storage may still be an issue
Question 5: Should I sell my material online
- Without the online platform, this will be a difficult endeavor
- You must also be experienced in sales
- Storage and shipping are both factors to consider
