Become a Sherman Lumber Partner and save time and money. You can stop sourcing materials from multiple sources while wrestling to coordinate everything. Take advantage of our ERUs, our buying power, and rest easy with our 100% material list guarantee.

Spend More Time on the Things You Enjoy

Before we created SherBid, our founders would spend countless hours preparing bids and wrangling multiple vendors all in attempt to make sure that the company wouldn’t lose money on the next project.  We know first hand that SherBid is a lifesaver in every sense of the word, and that is why we are so excited to share it with you.

  • Prepare bids for any size building with a whole range of materials and extras.
  • Get all of your materials on time, every time with our 100% Material List Guarantee.
  • Take up a new hobby with all of the time and stress that we save you.

How much time and money will you save?

Take a moment and figure out how much time you spend a day preparing bids for customers.  This not only requires thinking through the building board-by-board, it also requires shopping the materials and getting quotes from multiple vendors. If a start date gets moved and you need to reschedule deliveries, how many phone calls and how many call backs, and how many messages, and how much time is killed waiting for one of them to get back to you so you can then again relay the information to the others.

If you were in a hurry in your bidding you probably over ordered.  How much did that cost you?  If your materials ended up being too expensive and the customer went to a competitor, how much did that cost you? If your supplier shorted you and it killed a day of labor, how much did that cost you?

We will be a support structure for your business, whether its bidding, materials, heavy equipment purchasing, crew building training, office training, sales and marketing assistance, or general office work such as accounting, administration, payroll and more.

You are great at building. We are great at equipping you to do what you do best. It sounds like this is the beginning of a great new friendship. Why would you wait another day?

If you order from us at Sherman Lumber, here is our 100% Material List Guarantee to you.

Guarantee ~ You will get 100% of the materials ordered, delivered to anywhere you request.

If this does happen then there are two potential outcomes:

  1. We will walk through the materials plan and show you where you are wrong, or
  2. We made a mistake (very rare, almost never) and we will expedite the missing components to you doing everything in our power not to disrupt your project.  We’ve had to make a midnight run over 500 miles once (that’s a lot of thinking time), and we were glad to do it.  We stand by our word.

BUILDING EXPERIENCE

Sherman Pole Buildings traces its history to 1976 when Andrew Kelling opened the doors to Kelling Construction.  Since then we have undergone a name change and we’ve expanded our scope. But we remain committed to our old-fashioned values. Through the years, Sherman Lumber has upheld a steadfast commitment to excellence in craftsmanship and customer service. We believe in building quality, functional, and attractive buildings at a reasonable price.

We have developed perhaps the greatest depth of pole building construction, otherwise known as post frame buildings.  Sherman Pole Buildings has been raising the standard of pole building construction since the start of the business in 1976.  The company specialty is in residential, commercial, and agricultural post frame buildings and has built homes, storage buildings, sheds, airplane hangars, riding arenas, livestock barns, assembly plants, and everything in between. Additionally for over ten years we’ve been building resident homes through another division Sherman Builders, where we’ve not only developed conventional housing, we’ve begun to be well known for post frame homes, often referred to as Barndominiums.

It is with this vast experience and wisdom that we launched our lumberyard and material supply business catering to Pole Building Contractors and do-it-yourself homeowners. We believe that we are the best there is, at equipping construction contractor partners, and we are investing in this effort for the long term.

As a family-owned and operated business we are committed to treating our partners like family, delivering every project to the highest standards. As a leader in our industry, we pride ourselves on our integrity, quality, and experience.
