ABOUT
Built from the way construction materials are actually sourced.
SourceSeeker helps contractors and suppliers compare material sources by the road — not just by the crow.
Built from a real problem.
SourceSeeker grew out of a problem familiar to anyone who has estimated, sourced, or hauled construction materials.
Finding a quarry, ready-mix plant, or asphalt plant is only the beginning. What matters is how that source actually relates to the job: how long the truck takes to get there, what the haul costs, and whether your source gives you a logistical advantage or disadvantage against the competition.
That work often means running routes one at a time, calculating haul rates, writing comparisons on paper or in spreadsheets, and then trying to reconstruct those calculations later.
SourceSeeker was built to make that process faster, clearer, and repeatable.
Sources ranked by the road, not by the crow.
Enter a project location and SourceSeeker searches construction-material facilities around the job, then ranks relevant sources using actual road routing rather than straight-line distance alone.
SourceSeeker currently focuses on:
- Aggregate quarries and sand & gravel sources
- Ready-mix concrete plants
- Hot-mix asphalt plants
The database currently includes facilities across:
- Georgia
- North Carolina
- South Carolina
- Virginia
Coverage and facility information are continually being expanded and reviewed.
Know where you stand.
For contractors and estimators, SourceSeeker helps answer: Which sources are realistically closest to this project?
For suppliers, the question goes further:
- How far is my source from the job?
- How far are my competitors?
- What is my logistical advantage or disadvantage?
SourceSeeker is being built around those real-world sourcing and competitive logistics decisions.
Data you can trace.
SourceSeeker combines facility information from public, industry, government, and supplier sources and maintains source references so records can be reviewed and updated.
Facility coordinates are only accepted when a mapping provider returns a verified result. Estimated ZIP-code centroids are not used as substitutes for facility locations, and drive-time results are only displayed after routing data has been returned.
Put SourceSeeker on your next project.
Search nearby material sources and compare them using the roads your trucks actually travel.
