Take a Survey on Material Procurement and Equipment Rental Practices

Joint study, which is being conducted by the New Horizons Foundation and SMACNA Silver Associate Member Field Materials, is designed to collect trends impacting procurement practices.

Field Materials, a SMACNA Silver Associate Member, is partnering with the New Horizons Foundation to develop a first-of-its-kind benchmarking survey focused on material procurement and equipment rental practices within the SMACNA contractor community across North America.

The survey results will provide a clear and insightful view into various markets, shed light on key trends, and offer actionable insights for enhancing material procurement strategies. The collected data will serve as a valuable resource for informed decision-making and process optimization in material procurement.

Aggregated survey results will be shared with members and leadership later this year. Please complete the survey. Thank you for your participation.
