TRI-BUILT

What TRI-BUILT does

TRI-BUILT is a private-label building materials brand that has been in market since the 1990s and is owned by publicly traded parent QXO, Inc. Its catalog spans more than 7,000 SKUs across 30-plus categories, including residential building products, commercial products, interior products, ventilation, underlayment, fasteners, polyiso insulation, and exterior building materials. The brand is engineered for fit across both new construction and repair-and-remodel use cases and covers the categories that professional builders and homeowners commonly need on a single jobsite purchase.

Distribution is structurally captive: TRI-BUILT products are sold exclusively through QXO's network of retail branches, commercial sales centers, and digital platforms. Customers include residential contractors, commercial contractors, and homeowners, with Canada reachable through the parent's cross-border operations. The brand's commercial positioning is to be the default private-label offer available to customers who already purchase from a QXO-affiliated outlet.

Revenue mechanics are transactional one-time product sales with no subscription layer; supporting purchase infrastructure includes a QXO mobile app, online ordering, delivery tracking, and a homeowner financing program. There is no disclosed information on SKU-level pricing, customer concentration, or standalone revenue, and the brand does not maintain its own independent digital storefront outside QXO's ecosystem.
