Construction has a procurement problem

Construction still buys through a chain of reps and distributors, each adding margin with almost no transparency. Flume closes that gap.

Construction interior finishes

How finishes get bought today

The supply chain for interior materials is fragmented, opaque, and expensive. Here's what that actually looks like on a project

PRICING

Nobody knows what anything actually costs

Each layer of middlemen adds margin. The same tile costs 30-50% more depending on who you call first.

VE PROCESS

Value engineering feels like a fight

Developers want cheaper, designers feel degraded. You either overspend or compromise - usually both.

SOURCING

Teams source from who they know, not what's best

A handful of familiar reps set your pricing. Better options go undiscovered because nobody had time to look.

Value engineering where everybody wins

Flume doesn't change what gets built. We change how it gets procured. The design stays the same - only the sourcing route improves

DEVELOPERS

Savings that go straight to the bottom line

20-50% lower material costs without redesigning a room. Free VE report before you commit.
