Contractor Solutions
Graybar helps contractors turn pain into profit. From the job site to the front office, our capabilities in advanced supply chain management, technical services and digital services make it easier to run your business. The typical electrician spends as much as 40% of the time managing materials. Your electricians should be focused instead on building and installing electrical systems. By working with Graybar, contractors gain access to knowledgeable and experienced advisors who provide support throughout the job planning, quoting and delivery process. Our advanced supply chain services get materials to the point of installation quickly and painlessly, increasing jobsite productivity. Our gear specialists can read a line drawing, project plan or bill of material to make sure you have exactly the right gear to tackle everyday technical issues as well as more complex design and build projects. Together with our online procurement system that streamlines buying with less paperwork, we keep your business efficient, productive and competitive.

Pre-Job Planning
Increasing profit and avoiding costly mistakes starts at the very beginning of a project. Graybar works with contractors to gain a thorough understanding of project needs and then identifies areas where you can gain efficiencies and increase productivity. From confirming the bill of material is just right to making sure the daily flow of material is moving as it should, Graybar seamlessly supports contractors to get the job done on time and on budget. We even suggest creative options to win jobs and build solutions that address issues contractors will face on the job.
Reliable Material Management
We get materials to the point of installation exactly when and where they are needed and make it easy to manage them on the jobsite. We offer just-in-time delivery, staging and kitting, customized wire management and everything from inventory management to prefabrication so your jobsite is safe, efficient and productive. And we help improve this valuable industry as active members in NECA and IEC.
The Right Gear
Graybar helps you avoid costly errors right from the start for any power distribution project by ensuring materials have the right functionality at the right price -- from a single transformer to all of the switchgear for a multi-story building. As gear gets more complex and “smart”, our deep technical and product expertise means we can create and deliver the correct bill of material based on parts we have now in stock or can access quickly. And our manufacturing relationships mean that you gain availability and delivery speed.
