Maverick Development
Our general contractor couldn't source luxury shower tile for our 101-room hotel project at a reasonable price. After engaging Flume, we sourced the exact same Japanese tile for nearly half the cost — saving us $45,000 with ahead-of-schedule delivery.

Common Questions from Developers
What materials do you specialize in?
We're strongest in finishes: tiles (natural stone, porcelain, ceramic), flooring (LVT, SPC, hardwood), bathroom fixtures, lighting, windows, doors, and countertops (quartz, marble, granite). We source both globally and domestically—70% of building materials are imported, but we also have strong US partnerships.
How much can I actually save on my next project?
Most developers save 30-66% compared to traditional distributors. For example, Maverick Development saved $45,000 on luxury shower tiles alone for their 101-room hotel project. Your exact savings depend on materials and project size, but we guarantee you'll save significantly.
What size projects work best with Flume?
Our sweet spot is multifamily developments (50+ units), mixed-use projects (25,000+ sq ft), and commercial builds with material budgets over $500K. The larger your project, the more you save—some developers have cut $100K+ from their material costs on major developments.
How quickly can you turn around pricing for our project?
We typically provide pricing within 2-4 business days. We use AI technology to find products and factories quickly, but we always follow up with the factory to confirm pricing and availability. This ensures accuracy while maintaining speed.
How do you ensure quality when sourcing from factories?
Quality is our top priority. We do extensive upfront vetting of all factories, including financial diligence, customer references, and quality certifications. Many of our suppliers already serve major US hotel chains and luxury developments. We provide material samples before large orders, and our 99%+ on-time delivery rate speaks to our reliability.
Can you work with our subcontractors or do we procure directly?
Both options work. We can work directly with you for procurement, or we can work with your subcontractors who procure through us. We handle all the logistics, quality control, and delivery—the subcontractor focuses on installation. This maintains traditional chain of custody while giving you better pricing.
What are your payment terms and financing options?
We work around your requirements. We have financing partners who can provide net 30 or delivery-based payment terms. If you follow our factory payment schedule, you get additional discounts on top of your savings. We can also work with your subcontractors for procurement or directly with you.
How do you handle warehousing and documentation for lenders?
We partner with warehouses across the US that specialize in building materials. We can stage materials 2-3 months early to ensure on-time delivery, and we provide all necessary documentation for lender requirements. We're flexible with your needs and can work with your financing partners.
