LMBR — How It Works

The coordination loop

One system. Two sides of every deal.

LMBR sits between buyers and yards, structuring what buyers need, routing requests to the right yards, and bringing real responses back with less back-and-forth on both sides.

We structure the request · We route it selectively · We bring back real answers — even across yards

7:12 AM — Brooklyn, NY. A GC needs framing material lined up before his crew starts Monday. He submits once — and instead of working the phones, gets matched quickly to the yards most likely to help, with clear answers on what each can do — no callbacks, no guessing.

For Lumber Buyers

First — get set up

Upload your inventory profile.

We want to understand what your yard typically carries so we can send you requests worth answering. Species, grades, quantities, etc. You'll also get a private order link for your own customers, with LMBR only helping to fill the gaps.

Your request

Submit what you need. Once.

Tell us what you need — one item or a whole list, exact specs if you have them or a rough field request if you don't. LMBR structures it into something yards can answer, then routes it to the ones most likely to have it.

Clear answers

Real responses

One clear answer, across yards.

When supply is tight and no single yard has the full order, LMBR assembles who can cover it across yards into one itemized answer — each item priced up front. Fragmented availability becomes a usable answer in one pass.

Species, grade, treatment, moisture. Structured before it reaches a yard.

Only the right yards

Not every yard. Only those most likely to fill it based on inventory and location.

One answer, even across yards

When no single yard has it all, responses from several get assembled into one fill.

The coordination is handled

LMBR does the chasing and structuring, so neither side works the phones.
