SourceMats
Material discovery for every project

Find the right
materials. Fast.

Search by project type — not by material name. SourceMats pulls from local suppliers, surplus yards, and specialty catalogs so you spend less time hunting and more time building.

How it works

Three steps to
knowing what you need

01
Describe your project
Type what you're building. "I want to put up a fence" or "my basement needs new walls." No material jargon required.
02
See what you need
SourceMats maps your project to a full material list — quantities, specs, and where each item typically comes from.
03
Find it near you
Every item links to available sources — local yards, surplus sellers, specialty suppliers — with price and availability.
Less searching
No more wandering Home Depot aisles wondering if there's a better option. One search shows everything available near you.
Never overbuy
Quantity guidance built into every project. Buy exactly what the job needs — not a box of extra you hope to use someday.
Surplus in view
Contractors and DIYers offload quality materials at a fraction of retail. SourceMats surfaces surplus alongside new stock.
Local first
Big supply chains are fine when you need them — but sometimes the best lumber yard is ten minutes away. We show you both.
Why we built this
Every project starts with the same wall: you know what you want to build, but figuring out exactly what to buy — from where, at what price — is a whole second project.

That's not a construction problem. That's a tooling problem. Home improvement stores are great for basics. Google is great for broad searches. But neither was built for the person standing in their garage at 7am, trying to figure out if they need a 2x4 or a 2x6 and whether they should buy twenty or fifty. SourceMats is built for that person.

We aggregate the sources. We map the projects. We surface what's available, where, and for how much — so you can stop planning your shopping and start doing the work.

Built for builders. From someone who's been there.
