One relationship at a time, at unpredictable volume. The book collapses that into a single counterparty with a published pipeline — the customer profile your pricing desk already knows how to quote.
The group buys on a printed, capped-markup sheet, and every member is encouraged to shop it — including against Eastside Lumber, which sits in this class too, on the same sheet as everyone else. That rule is what keeps a buying group honest, including toward its own yard.
One negotiation instead of chasing twenty accounts.
Not your lane? Every seat is a live page — the whole chain is being seated at once, on purpose.
Quote 50–150+ homes of aggregated volume once, instead of pursuing builders individually for orders that arrive at random.
The order book is a forward view of what the group intends to build — a production-planning input no one in this market has had before.
Printed sheet, capped markup. Members can audit the tier, which keeps everyone honest including us. No side deals, no hidden margin.
Subs and specialty contractors join the same way. Sequenced member jobs mean a steadier queue rather than feast-or-famine bidding.
Panel and truss capacity may be sourced from partners before the local facility is financed. Existing producers can carry that volume first — and be the reason the book delivers early.
“Vendors compete for the volume, not the relationship. The price sheet is printed — and every member is encouraged to shop it.”The rule that keeps a buying group honest, including toward its own yard
The first 71 homes are already confirmed — you're not being asked to go first. The state moved first: Missouri has already awarded $2.8M in NPA tax credits against them, and its clock runs to 12/31/2028. This tally updates as homes confirm.
Then: members charter the KC Housing Production Cooperative — the whole chain in one member body, by class, licensing the Together.Homes platform.
We sell materials — at the same published, capped-markup tiers every member gets, including our own projects. Bigger group, bigger volume, better pricing for everyone, us included. There's no membership fee for suppliers either: what you're asked for is published terms and the quantity break behind them, not a check.
Membership is free — no dues, no minimums. The Network is funded by the suppliers who want access to the group's volume, not by the members in it. The only priced service is a standalone takeoff ($500) if you want the work without putting homes in the book — and even that credits in full against your first material order.
No private capital, no — and anyone who tells you otherwise, walk away. What exists today is the state's $2.8M award with its deadline, the pricing work a dedicated team is building around the book, and the book itself. The credit facility is a goal we are openly raising toward, not a thing we have. The book is what makes it raisable.
Three distinct jobs, held apart on purpose. A council of members — seated by class: a developer, a builder, a lot owner, a design professional, an operator — governs. Together.Homes staffs the day-to-day services. And Daniel Edwards holds one job: build the book and bring the capital to it — the aggregator, not your foreman.
