Florida’s Construction Boom: 5 Building Supply Deals Reshaping the State

Florida’s construction market continues to grow, and major Lumber & Building Materials (LBM) companies are expanding to keep up with demand.

Across the state, large distributors are acquiring local lumberyards, truss manufacturers, and building supply companies to strengthen their operations and improve service for builders.

​Here are five major developments helping reshape Florida’s building supply landscape.

1. US LBM Expands Panhandle Operations with Milton Truss

The Deal:
US LBM acquired Milton Truss.

Why It Matters:
Roof and floor trusses play a major role in Florida construction, especially in regions with strict hurricane-related building requirements. With the addition of Milton Truss, US LBM expanded its component manufacturing presence in Florida through its Raymond Building Supply division.
​
The move strengthens the company’s ability to serve builders in the Florida Panhandle and parts of southern Alabama.

​2. Builders FirstSource Continues Investing in Florida Operations

The Move:
Builders FirstSource (BFS) continues expanding and optimizing its Florida footprint.

Why It Matters:
Jacksonville remains an important market for BFS as the company continues focusing on distribution efficiency and manufactured building components. Like many large LBM suppliers, BFS has been investing in operational improvements designed to support faster deliveries and increased builder demand throughout growing markets.

The acquisition expanded US LBM’s Florida presence to 18 locations and strengthened its reach in one of the country’s busiest construction markets.

5. US LBM Expands Statewide Reach with Manning Building Supplies

The Deal:
US LBM acquired Manning Building Supplies.

Why It Matters:
This acquisition added nine Florida locations to US LBM’s network, including seven building supply yards and two truss manufacturing facilities.

Combined with Raymond Building Supply, the deal strengthened US LBM’s presence across many of Florida’s largest housing markets, including Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Sarasota.

As Florida construction activity continues to increase, builders are relying more heavily on suppliers that can provide multiple products and services under one roof.

Many larger LBM companies now offer framing lumber, trusses, doors, windows, and other building materials through integrated operations designed to improve efficiency and delivery times.

​For contractors, these expansions may help improve product availability and support growing demand across the state.
