Building Materials Procurement for Charlotte, NC Builders
Spectrum Building Products is a veteran-owned building materials supplier based in Talbott, Tennessee, serving builders in Charlotte, North Carolina as an extended market. Out-of-state builders get what East Tennessee builders get: a take-off from the plans, market-wide pricing and a single bill.

Where do the materials go on an infill lot with no staging room?
Spectrum Building Products sequences deliveries so material shows up when the crew can use it. On Charlotte infill and townhome sites in South End or NoDa there is rarely room to stage a whole building, so the order is split by phase.
A tight lot punishes a bad delivery. Lumber dropped too early ends up in the way, on the sidewalk, or sitting in Piedmont red clay. Dropped too late, the framers stand around. The fix is a take-off organized by phase and a schedule every trade can see. Spectrum Building Products is the material liaison between the general contractor and the subs, so sequencing runs through one person. See builder and subcontractor coordination.
Does an out-of-state builder get the same pricing process?
Spectrum Building Products runs the same process for a Charlotte builder as for one in Morristown. Every line of the take-off is priced across regional yards, national distributors and specialty suppliers, and the result is one transparent quote.
The steps do not change at the state line:
- Send the plans.
- Jared builds the take-off, waste factors included.
- Each line is priced across the market. Name brands if you have preferences.
- You get one quote, then one invoice.
Builders running several projects at once, from Ballantyne to Myers Park, give Jared more volume to work with. If you already hold quotes, here is how to compare building material quotes line by line.

How are deliveries verified on a Lake Norman or Lake Wylie home?
Spectrum Building Products treats Charlotte as an extended market across the mountains. On-site presence is standard only in the primary East Tennessee area, so Jared will explain how delivery verification is handled for a project there before the order is placed.
Lake homes north on Lake Norman and southwest on Lake Wylie tend to carry long window and door lists, and those are the items most worth checking at the truck. Raise it on the first call. Have Jared spell out who counts the load, how damage is reported and how a wrong or short item gets corrected. He remains the one contact. Plan delivery windows around traffic on I-77, I-85 and the I-485 loop.

Does Spectrum Building Products supply builders in Charlotte, NC?
Yes. Charlotte is an extended market for Spectrum Building Products, which is based in Talbott, Tennessee and was founded in 2016 by Jared Jarnagin, a U.S. military veteran. Builders in Mecklenburg County can send plans for a take-off and market pricing. Call (423) 736-0765.
Why would a Charlotte builder searching for a building materials supplier near me use a Tennessee company?
For the model, not the mileage. Spectrum Building Products is not tied to one manufacturer or yard, so the price search covers the vendor market and everything lands on one consolidated invoice. One contact replaces the separate reps and bills.
Is there a minimum project size for Charlotte work?
There is no strict minimum, and Spectrum Building Products works with residential and commercial builders of all sizes. For a project in Charlotte, the size of the order and the site affect how delivery is planned, so talk it through with Jared first. He gives you a take-off date when he sees the plans.
