About Tru Discount Building Supply
We are a wonderful work family filled with great minds and talented individuals. Tru Discount Building Supply came about due to our founding members realizing a need for improved distribution of building supplies. We want to help supply companies with the upcoming surge of building to create a brighter future at a more affordable cost. Over 20+ years in the industry we are excited to work with professionals and expand our vision.
Our Story
From a Family of Builders
Born as "number 6" in a family of 13 children, Matt Kriser knew he wanted to be in a part of the construction industry at 16 years of age. From a Family of Builders, all seven brothers currently make or have made their living in the building industry. After studying five years at Brigham Young University for real estate development and construction management Matt began to build a dream team that has become more of a family than coworkers. Matt leads the team as the visionary leader and relies on the team to make the vision become a reality.
Matt remembers building his first Kriser home under the mentoring of his general contractor friend Bjorn Johansson in 1990 and went on to build many hundreds of beautiful homes and also many beautiful communities. With the downturn of the construction market in 2008, Matt knew it would take a while for the building market to recover and started using eCommerce to sell building materials for the remodeling market. Today Matt and his team continue to supply and distribute the remodel market and also distributes building materials for new construction. Starting the building material distribution business in a down market of the building cycle forces us to shop for extremely competitive prices direct from the manufacturers. This gave us a great advantage especially when the building market came back in 2014, we had to fight to compete, but when the market rebounded, we were able to pass on some of the savings to the building supply stores we distribute to a competitive edge which they, in turn, pass on some of the savings to the builders so that they can compete in the marketplace with the big name builders. The Tru Discount Building Supply team continues to grow and improve always striving to do better through efficiency and effectiveness to provide a greater service, better products, and always at a more competitive price.
Thanks, to all who have trusted us to serve you!
