Clayton Offers Affordable Home Prices by Utilizing Clayton Supply

Clayton Supply helps keep home building facilities working efficiently, lowering costs for home buyers.

Clayton Supply moves materials through strategically located distribution centers which also helps home building facilities with storage space.

Whether it’s windows, gypsum wallboard, trusses or cabinets, Clayton Supply manufactures quality materials that go into building a Clayton Built™ home.

Clayton Supply’s system of manufacturing and transporting materials removes unnecessary costs and allows Clayton to provide affordable housing.

Purchasing in bulk reduces costs and enables home building facilities to become more efficient.

Through its network of facilities that both manufacture and distribute building materials, Clayton is able to offer quick inventory turnaround at reduced costs to its own home building facilities, thereby offering homes at affordable prices to families across America.

Clayton Supply facilities are located across the country and include operations that manufacture vinyl, insulated windows, gypsum wallboard, trusses, cabinets, moldings and much more. In addition to manufacturing its own materials, Clayton Supply also purchases building materials in bulk, moving those materials through a network of regional distribution centers that are strategically located to support its own home building facilities.

"The ultimate goal of Clayton Supply is to pass the lower costs on to our home buyers," Clayton Supply President Woody Bell explained. "Our unique position as one of America's largest homebuilders gives us the buying power to make a real difference on the price tag."

Last year alone, Clayton Supply provided Clayton home building facilities with 230,504 windows, 11,920,536 lumber materials and 3,187,272 gypsum panels that went into the construction of 35,000 homes. Clayton is on track to build more than 40,000 homes in 2016.

"When you can produce many of your own materials like windows and cabinets, you take so much unnecessary cost out of the supply chain, and that's a big deal to us – to provide affordable housing to the hardworking American home buyer," Bell said.
