Building Material Quality Plays a Vital Role in Final Outcome of Projects
To All Our Valued Customers, Over the past few years, the Covid 19 Pandemic has forced us to adapt and change the way we do things on a day-to-day basis. Florida Lumber is no exception. To make sure that we remain strong and competitive in the market for the years to come, Florida Lumber has had to adjust and change our vision for the future. In the last 2 years, we have stopped selling Sheetrock and drywall products, roofing felt and roofing materials, and have even closed on Saturdays.
Over the last few months, we have been transitioning our way out of the door supply business so on August 31, 2022, our door shop will stop assembling doors. We will continue liquidating our doors from inventory until we are out of material.
Some customers have asked if we are closing or even moving locations. To set the story straight, we are not closing or selling the business and we are not moving. These changes are all part of our new vision and path to continue serving South Florida and increasing our footprint in the construction supply industry.
Our focus is going to be on Lumber, Construction Materials, Rebar Fabrication and Rebar Accessories. As we have liquidated some of the items that we don’t sell anymore we have created more space to buy a larger volume of our core items and pass on the savings to our customers.
In the next year you will start seeing changes that will help improve our ability to serve you, our customers. We appreciate your business and your patience as Florida Lumber’s new vision becomes reality.

En los dos ultimos anos hemos dejado de vender los productos de yeso (sheetrock), paneles de yeso (drywall), tela asfaltica (roofing felt), materiales de techo y cerramos los Sabados. En los ultimos meses, hemos estado en transicion para salir del negocio de suministro de puertas, en Agosto 31, del 2022 nuestra tienda de puertas dejara de construir y/o cortar puertas. Vamos a continuar liquidando nuestro inventario de puertas haste que terminemos todo el material. Algunos de nuestros clientes han preguntado si estamos cerrando o si nos estamos moviendo a otra localidad. La verdad es que no estamos cerrando, no estamos vendiendo y no estamos cambiando de localidad. Estos cambios son todos parte de nuestra nueva vision y camino a continuar sirviendo al estado sur de la Florida y incrementar nuestras huellas en la industria de suministros de construccion.

Why Quality Building Materials Matter in Construction Projects?
Cheap building material can seem like a blessing at first. However, this blessing may turn into a nightmare after a few months or years due to cracks and fissures. You may also notice patches of plastering falling off or drywalls growing damp. It’s also possible for any structure to collapse due to the use of subpar quality materials. The collapse of Sampoong Department Store in 1995 is the best evidence of damage stemming from the use of inferior quality material. This single incident led to 500 deaths along with 1000 injuries. It is possible to avoid these types of accidents or untoward events using premium-quality construction materials from the start of a project.
Problems with Poor-Quality Materials:
Absence of Durability
Durability of any structure depends upon an engineer’s knowledge and the building material quality. A premium-quality material may last for years. Hence, it is prudent to purchase high-end materials at the start of any project. For example, you may purchase cheap materials during the construction of foundation, which happens at the beginning of any project. The poor materials may lead to weak foundation and may cause a structure to lean on one side or to break down. Hence, the quality of building materials plays a vital role from the start of any project.
Deterioration of Aesthetics
It is possible for any structure to shine in the first few months with application of paint or other materials. However, this shine may start deteriorating after a few months and you may notice the walls dampening. Loose chunks of paint or cement may fall off due to this. It is possible to avoid this damage by using premium-quality materials. The use of high-end materials throughout a project also improves the overall appearance of any structure.
Builder’s Reputation & Wellbeing of Occupants
The quality of building materials also determines the reputation of a builder or a supplier of materials. If a building or structure collapses due to poor quality material, then it may severely damage the reputation of the builder and contractor. In addition to the damage to a builder’s or a contractor’s reputation, the use of poor-quality material may even lead to injuries for the occupants. The collapse of hospitality facilities, commercial facilities or flyovers may lead to thousands of casualties. The quality of building materials plays a vital role in ensuring the safety of all living beings.
Ensuring the Quality of Building Materials
A reliable contractor knows the importance of quality when using any type of building material. However, it may not be possible for a contractor to evaluate the quality of all materials. It is a time-consuming task and a contractor may have difficulty finishing the project on time, which is unacceptable. To avoid this problem, many reputable contractors purchase materials from a reliable supplier. The suppliers of building materials have the time and knowledge to evaluate the products’ quality more efficiently. Hence, many contractors maintain a liaison with reputable suppliers of premium-quality materials. On one hand, it saves a contractor from spending time and energy on testing the quality of materials. On the other hand, the use of high-end materials enhances the reputation of a contractor due to the durability of the finished projects and low maintenance cost for the owners. The building material’s quality does not just play a vital role in ensuring the final quality of a project. It also determines the reliability of a contractor and the safety of the occupants.
