Every contractor knows the morning that goes sideways: the sealant, the fitting, the grout, the bit — something isn't on the truck, three branches say "we can order it," and a crew of five is on the clock doing nothing.

Fombee is built for that morning.

  1. Tell us what you need and where
  2. We check the websites and call the counters
  3. You get confirmed options with stock and price

5.5 hrsper week each construction professional spends looking for product data and information
35%of a construction professional's time goes to work that adds nothing — searching, waiting, redoing
$18B+a year in wasted labour across Canadian construction — hours spent searching, waiting and redoing instead of building.

What does waiting cost your crew?

$825every week
$41,250every year

People × cost per hour × hours lost per person. Yearly figure assumes 50 working weeks. Fombee is built to give most of those hours back.

A $35 fitting held up the whole job. Three guys sat in the truck for most of a day while I drove around looking for it. That one part cost me more than the rest of the week's materials.

Darren K. · Site manager, HVAC contractor

I usually send two or three guys out to different stores at the same time and hope one of them comes back with it. That's just what Monday mornings look like.

Priya S. · Owner, residential plumbing company

The supplier's website said 12 in stock. I drove 40 minutes and there were none. If someone had just confirmed it, I'd have gone to the other branch and been done by ten.

Marco D. · Foreman, electrical contractor

Backorder on one tile trim pushed the whole finishing schedule out a week. I'd have taken a different trim in a heartbeat if someone had shown me one that matched and where it was.

Jen W. · Project coordinator, general contractor

One cheap item.
One expensive delay.

The calls. The driving. The crew waiting. Fombee helps you find what's missing before the costs start adding up.

Out of stock doesn't have to mean out of options.

When your first choice isn't available, Fombee finds alternatives nearby and shows how they compare — manufacturer specifications, approvals and certifications, local stock, and when that stock was last confirmed. You see what matches and what differs, make the call with the facts in front of you, and keep the job moving.

Built for contractors and trades of every size.

One crew or thirty. Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, concrete, finishing, general — the materials differ, the problem doesn't. Fombee gives you back the hours and keeps the schedule intact.
