BUILDING MATERIALS
Lumber, plywood, OSB, engineered wood, and framing materials
MONTANA BUILDING MATERIALS EXPERTS
Building materials are the foundation of everything Western Building Center does. For decades, Montana builders have counted on our lumber yards for consistent quality, competitive pricing, and a large inventory of framing lumber, sheathing, and structural products.
Lumber is one of the main components of a house, and our WBC Distribution Center keeps our stores stocked with framing lumber, OSB, plywood, drywall, siding, shingles, trim lumber, and more. Our corporate yard is larger than some of our suppliers' yards, and suppliers can deliver straight to it by rail. We also carry engineered wood, which reduces waste and is stronger and more consistent than traditional solid wood, plus a complete insulation line for residential and commercial projects.
Contractors count on WBC because our estimators provide complete material take-offs from locals who know what you need for snow load, insulation, and the hundred other things unique to your area. If your store does not have something at the moment, we can ship it to your building site within a few days. Whether you need a single sheet of plywood or a full house package, we deliver the building materials that keep Montana construction moving.

Rooted in Montana Since 1946
Western Building Center was founded as a cabinet and millwork shop in 1946, and building materials became part of the business in 1954. Our 13 locations maintain a large lumber and structural product inventory because Montana and Idaho builders cannot afford to wait for special orders on framing materials.
Our WBC Distribution Center stocks the materials our stores need and ships them to our stores, or straight to you. That means our stores have the drywall, framing lumber, siding, OSB, plywood, shingles, and trim lumber you need in stock.
Engineered Wood for Modern Design
Modern Montana homes and commercial buildings demand longer spans and open floor plans that dimensional lumber alone cannot deliver. Engineered wood products reduce the waste of unusable lumber by eliminating the inconsistencies of traditional solid wood, and they are stronger and more reliable.
Our estimates can include beam sizing, and WBC Building Components builds roof trusses, floor trusses, and wall panels for your structural package. Bring your plans to any store to get started.
Material Takeoffs and Jobsite Delivery
Bring your blueprints to any store and our estimating team provides a complete materials list with quantities and specifications. Accurate take-offs mean you order what you need and avoid delays from missing materials.
Our delivery fleet includes boom trucks, Moffett trucks, and semi tractor-trailers for deliveries across Montana and Idaho. Buy what you need, set the place and date with us, and we will deliver to your site.
