Services
Material Procurement Services for East Tennessee Builders
Spectrum Building Products is a veteran-owned building materials supplier based in Talbott, Tennessee. Six services cover a build's materials from the plan sheet to the job site: the take-off, the price search, one bill, delivery checks, trade coordination and cost review.
What We Do
Which services does Spectrum Building Products offer builders and contractors?
Spectrum Building Products offers six services: material take-off, vendor price sourcing, one salesman and one bill, on-site material management, builder and subcontractor coordination, and cost savings consulting. Jared Jarnagin handles each one himself, so the person who counts the plans also prices, orders and checks the delivery.
From the plan sheet to the job siteSpectrum supplies and manages material. It does not install, frame or act as the contractor.

One list, start to finish
How do the six services fit together on one job?
Spectrum Building Products runs them as a chain. The take-off produces the list, and every later step works from that same list, so nothing is re-counted, re-keyed or handed to a different person along the way.
- Count Material Take-Off The plans become a line-by-line list.
- Price Vendor Price Sourcing Every line is priced across the market.
- Bill One Salesman, One Bill All vendors land on one invoice.
- Deliver On-Site Material Management Loads are checked against the list.
- Coordinate Builder & Subcontractor Coordination Trades get material in order.
- Review Cost Savings Consulting Cost is questioned at every step.
Three ways to buy
How is this different from buying materials the usual way?
Spectrum Building Products sits between the two usual options. Splitting packages across vendors can win on price but multiplies the reps, invoices and deliveries to manage. Buying everything from one yard is simple but limits you to that yard's price and stock.
| What you manage | Several vendors yourself | One yard for everything | Spectrum Building Products |
|---|---|---|---|
| People to call | A rep at every vendor | One rep at the yard | One: Jared Jarnagin |
| Invoices to reconcile | One per vendor | One | One, covering every vendor |
| Where the price comes from | Whichever vendors you had time to call | That yard's price list | Every line priced across the vendor market |
| Who counts the material | You, or each vendor separately | The yard, for its own stock | One take-off, pulled before any vendor is called |
| Who checks the delivery | Your crew, if someone has time | Your crew, if someone has time | Spectrum, on site in East Tennessee |
| Mid-project additions | Another call, another invoice | Added if the yard stocks it | Sourced and added to the same bill |

Do I have to use all six Spectrum Building Products services together?
No. Spectrum Building Products can start with a take-off alone or with pricing on a list you already have. Most builders end up using the services together because each step works from the one before it: the take-off sets the quantities, the price search sets the cost, and the same list is used to check deliveries.
Which Spectrum Building Products service should a builder start with?
Start with the material take-off. Spectrum Building Products prices and orders from that list, so an accurate count comes first. If you already have a complete material list, the next step is vendor price sourcing.
Does Spectrum Building Products charge separately for cost savings consulting?
No. Cost savings consulting is not a separate fee at Spectrum Building Products. It is the default approach on every project: accurate quantities, pricing across the vendor market, equivalent products flagged for your approval and consolidated deliveries.
Are on-site delivery checks available everywhere Spectrum Building Products works?
On-site material management is included for builders in the primary East Tennessee service area. For projects in Charlotte, Chattanooga or the U.S. Virgin Islands, Jared Jarnagin explains how delivery verification is handled for that location before the order is placed.
