Unbuilt

About Unbuilt

Unbuilt is the marketplace for construction reuse — connecting builders, designers, and homeowners to buy and sell surplus building materials.

What We Do

We work with builders, designers, dealers, manufacturers, and property owners to keep usable materials in circulation—turning excess inventory into value instead of waste. We focus on construction goods chosen by professionals: real quantities, real specs, and materials you can actually build with.

Our Story

Unbuilt started during the pandemic in Southern California, working directly with local builders facing a familiar problem: pallets of tile, fixtures, lighting, and materials piling up with nowhere to go.

We spent years on job sites—photographing materials, coordinating pickups, arranging storage, navigating freight, and dealing with the real logistics that make resale hard in construction. That hands-on work shaped everything we've built since.

After the LA Fires of 2025, we expanded Unbuilt to accelerate re-use—opening the door to free listings and faster circulation for materials that would otherwise be discarded.

Who We Work With

We work with professionals across the construction ecosystem.

Our Friends

Unbuilt is built alongside partners who care about practical solutions, not just good intentions.

We've received support from Techstars and eBay, and we work within the broader reuse and sustainability community, including organizations like the U.S. Green Building Council.

What's Next

We're continuing to expand our service areas of consignment, while adding features to help buyers and sellers interact on Unbuilt. If you have an idea for us that will help the construction community re-use more surplus and salvage goods, please contact us.
