Cleveland Construction, Inc. partnered with Bundle to streamline procurement for lighting materials on the 1701 East Blvd project, a 300-unit multifamily residential complex. By leveraging Bundle’s platform and services, Cleveland Construction achieved significant cost savings, gained SKU-level visibility, and simplified order management. The collaboration resulted in over $1,500,000 in savings and 433 hours reclaimed.

Project Background

The 1701 East Blvd Apartment complex is a large-scale multifamily development comprising two apartment towers – North and South – totaling over 280 residential units and 560,000+ square feet. With a substantial scope and aggressive build schedule, efficient procurement was critical to keeping the project on track.

The Challenge

Cleveland Construction historically procured lighting through their electrical subcontractors. While convenient, this method presented several challenges:

• No SKU-level pricing visibility
• Lack of cost transparency across the lighting package
• Higher-than-expected prices from subcontractor-sourced quotes

The team needed a more transparent, cost-efficient solution that gave them control over procurement decisions.

The Solution

Bundle provided a centralized platform with features tailored to the unique demands of construction procurement:

• SKU-level quoting and direct pricing from manufacturers
• One-stop purchasing regardless of supplier or manufacturer
• Item-level tracking across quotes, orders, and deliveries
• Change order support with substitute recommendations
• Dedicated Sales Director and Project Manager to guide the process

Implementation

Cleveland Construction adopted a hybrid approach by combining self-service use of the Bundle platform with ongoing support from Bundle's sales and project management teams. Key steps included:

• Reviewing over 150 lighting SKUs
• Selecting and purchasing ~100 SKUs through Bundle
• Managing and validating change orders in real time

Results

The partnership with Bundle delivered measurable outcomes:

• $1,500,000 in cost savings
• 433 hours of internal team time saved
• Centralized procurement workflow
• Improved team visibility and reduced reliance on subcontractors

Testimonial

“Bundle brought a level of transparency and support we’ve never experienced with traditional procurement. Their team helped us value engineer alternatives and provided clear, SKU-level pricing—something distributors and subs rarely do. The platform is intuitive, and their customer service sets them apart. It truly feels like having a dedicated procurement team in-house, with the ability to buy directly from manufacturers. We’d recommend Bundle to any builder looking to cut costs and improve visibility.”
