Building materials are the raw materials of construction and renovation. They include dimensional lumber, plywood, OSB and MDF, drywall and plaster, insulation in batts, boards and rolls, concrete, cement, mortar and aggregates, bricks and concrete blocks, roofing shingles, tiles and membranes, siding and cladding, housewrap and vapor barriers.
Choosing materials depends on structural requirements, building codes, climate and the specific use. Lumber grades and treatments vary, insulation is rated by thermal performance, and roofing and cladding must suit your weather. Quantities need careful estimating with an allowance for waste.
Structural work usually requires plans, permits and inspections under local building codes. Ask a builder, architect or engineer for advice on structural choices; product listings are not professional advice.
Buying building materials
- Check grades, dimensions, treatments and ratings against your project's requirements.
- Estimate quantities with an allowance for cuts and waste.
- Structural work may need permits and professional design; check local building codes.
- Ask about delivery access for large trucks, and whether materials come on pallets.
- Store materials off the ground and protected from weather.
- For surplus or reclaimed materials, ask about condition and quantity available.
