Richards Building Supply, based in Homer Glen, Ill., has introduced new property intelligence capabilities within the Richards Building Supply CRM to help contractors move faster from estimate to order.

A leading distributor of exterior building materials in the United States, Richards serves both residential and commercial construction professionals and operates more than 60 locations across 15 states.

The enhanced CRM experience enables Richards customers to generate accurate material quantities, streamline sales estimates and purchase orders, and prioritize leads more effectively—all within a single platform. Contractors can reduce manual measurements, deliver faster bids, and improve operational efficiency.

The new capabilities are powered in part by EagleView aerial property measurement and imagery technology, integrated into the CRM as a supporting data engine. Through the platform, users can order measurement reports and instantly access property insights, including total squares, square footage, predominant pitch, and top-down and oblique aerial imagery.

Richards Building Supply CRM is designed for residential exterior remodeling and builder contractors and includes tools such as project management, instant quoting, invoicing, payments, financing, scheduling/dispatch, and more. The CRM and integrated property intelligence capabilities are powered by Construct CRM, an AI-powered e-commerce and CRM provider for building products and materials distributors.
