Purchase Power
Almost everyone today is aware that the home building industry has fallen on difficult times. Now, more than ever it is critical to deliver more house for less money. Builders are challenged by more demanding building codes from municipalities, rising costs for oil-based materials and customers demanding more creative features in every home. In this environment it becomes necessary to eliminate inefficiency, waste and duplication; it is also critical to “buy right”.
Covenant Custom Homes is a founding member of the Affiliated Builders Group (ABG) , the largest builders buying cooperative in the county. ABG operates in five major markets throughout the county and includes one hundred and twenty six builders. There are just seventeen builder members in the Kansas City Metro area and we are pleased to be one of them. Being an ABG member means we get to pool our purchasing power and obtain favorable pricing on just about every product we buy.
We are also able to compare notes on a host of home building issues that keep us ahead of the curve. The benefits to Covenant Custom Homes are dramatic. We enjoy the same type of competiveness that a national home builder would enjoy. That means we can, provide superior value in every home we build.
There is just no way a small-volume home builder can compete with a buying group that spent over $1.2 billion in 2011 and we love having that competitive advantage.
