AmericanBuilderSurplus.com Joins GA Industrial Materials Exchange and Building Material Reuse Association in Efforts to Help Conserve Natural Resources

American Builder Surplus has joined Building Materials Reuse Association and Georgia Department of Natural Resources / Georgia Industrial Materials Exchange. Their goal is to develop a community for construction and construction related businesses to trade overstock, surplus or salvage materials and to give such materials a "second life".

As broadcast media and the internet act as echo chambers for this phenomenon, playing on the deep concerns of managers and businesses and magnifying market ebbs into tidal waves, it falls to the managers on the ground to increase revenues even as their budgets are scrutinized and shrunk. Particularly as pertains to sales incentive programs, which are often spared the budgetary axe due to their inherent link to revenue generation, finding the destination that is both motivational and cost effective is especially critical during the current slowdown....
