Georgia Construction Products, Inc.

Focused and Aggressive in 2007


Georgia Construction Products (“GCP”) was formed in June, 1991. We are a specialized wholesale supplier of construction products relating to masonry and concrete, thermal and moisture protection and finishes (i.e. coatings, sealants), and firestopping. GCP began with the purchase of a Thoro Products distributorship formerly held by a precast concrete company. GCP began with four employees who set up operation as a wholesale distributor in Lithonia, Georgia, with $100,000 of inventory and one major product line, housed in a building consisting of 7,000 square feet.

Currently in our 15th full year of operation, we are now located in Tucker, Georgia, with over 47,000 square feet of warehouse space and over 22 employees and a sales team with 130+ years of combined experience in the field of construction and sales.

The philosophy of Georgia Construction Products is the “best interest of the customer comes first.”

Unlike most wholesale construction supply businesses, GCP is a specialized operation. By putting together an experienced group of people with a high level of specialized product knowledge, GCP has been able to establish a unique niche in the marketplace. We are trained in every product we sell which means we can assess not only the type of product a job requires and provide direction, but also assist in application. Using our experience and expertise, we focus on the engineering, architectural, consulting and specifying communities with seminars and training classes designed to provide education on applications, problem-solving and new technology. These sessions are not product-specific unless requested to do so. It is our intention to provide this service to these communities in order to position ourselves as industry experts.

We strive to establish a “partnership” with both our customers and our suppliers. By becoming partners in their success, we insure our own success. We maintain an ongoing relationship with our customer long after the sale to insure a successful application.

Although we require our salesmen to be knowledgeable about all our major product lines and customer types, we assign our salesmen to a targeted customer group based on their specialized knowledge of individual product lines.

Our sales staff is trained to be present at job sites to answer questions the project manager may have during application. By interfacing between the end-user and the manufacturer, we keep our customers satisfied and confident in their selection of GCP. It means a lot to our customers to know that our expertise is still available to them after the sale. Over 90% of our sales are from repeat customers and we feel confident this is a direct result of our “hands-on” approach.

We also take a proactive approach in promoting our products by providing educational seminars and field training to our customers and their crews. Seminars and training are typically done in tandem with our salesman who is most experienced in the products and systems along with a representative of the manufacturer. We feel it is important for the construction markets we service to know they have a team of experts standing behind their product selection and application.

In addition to training, we provide our customers assistance during the submittal process. Reviewing the project specifications, pulling together the appropriate documents, samples and required testing information gives our customers the advantage over their competition with a professionally assembled submittal package.

The philosophy of Georgia Construction Products is the “best interest of the customer comes first.” That, combined with our reputation as a full-service specialty wholesaler with quality products, service and expertise, has promoted sales to our highest expectations during our short tenure.
