Every great infrastructure movement in America has been fueled not just by steel, concrete, or rebar, but by vision. And in today’s fragmented, outdated construction materials industry, one leader is stepping up to modernize the backbone of American building: Jeremy Tomes, the founder and CEO of Prime Contractor Supply.

With a bold, unapologetically pro-contractor mindset, Jeremy Tomes is on a mission to rebuild the supply chain in service of the people who actually build things. Through Prime Contractor Supply, he’s creating a new standard for speed, reliability, transparency, and American-made grit.

A Mission That’s Bigger Than Materials

For Jeremy Tomes, Prime Contractor Supply is more than a distributor; it’s a vehicle for transforming how construction happens in the United States.

“Every load of mesh or concrete accessories we drop isn’t just a delivery, it’s part of a school, a road, a hospital, a home. We treat that with the respect it deserves.” — Jeremy Tomes, CEO

His vision is rooted in American values:

Work ethic
Transparency
Accountability
Service to the trades

Building legacies, not just profits

“Built for America. Built to Last.”

That’s not just a tagline. It’s Prime Contractor Supply’s operating system. Jeremy Tomes built the company with a single goal: never let a jobsite sit idle because of your vendor.

Under his leadership, Prime delivers:

95%+ on-time deliveries
Rapid dispatch and rescheduling capabilities
Proactive material forecasting
Dedicated account reps for every project
GPS tracking and digital invoicing

Tomes wants Prime to be a reliable part of a contractor’s day.

Expanding the Infrastructure Supply Backbone

Jeremy Tomes isn’t thinking small. Prime Contractor Supply’s expansion strategy focuses on:

Underserved mid-sized metros
High-growth infrastructure corridors
Public sector zones funded by IIJA and DOT initiatives
Regional markets lack modern material logistics

Tomes is pushing hard to ensure Prime Contractor Supply becomes the preferred vendor in 15+ states by 2030, especially in areas where legacy suppliers are too slow to adapt.

Investing in American-Made Supply Chains

As the U.S. reindustrializes and rebuilds its infrastructure, Jeremy is focused on sourcing American where possible.

Prime actively partners with:
Domestic steel mills
U.S.-based concrete accessory manufacturers
Minority-owned suppliers
Regional transportation companies employing American drivers

Tomes believes American construction deserves an American-first supply chain—and Prime is leading by example.

Training the Next Generation of Construction Professionals

To scale with integrity, Jeremy is building a team of:

Field-trained account managers
Logistics pros with real site experience
Project-savvy estimators
Veterans of both the private and public built environments

He’s creating a culture of execution, hustle, and hands-on mentorship inside Prime Contractor Supply.

The goal? Build a company where every team member respects the urgency and reality of a working jobsite.

Championing Contractor Success—Not Just Sales

Jeremy Tomes is redefining what it means to be a vendor. Instead of asking “What do you want to order?” Prime Contractor Supply asks:

“What are you building?”
“What’s your biggest risk on this job?”
“Where can we help you win the next contract?”

This service-first approach has made Prime a quiet force behind hundreds of successful projects, from $100K pad sites to $50M infrastructure builds.

Building the National Supply Partner of the Future

Jeremy Tomes is building Prime Contractor Supply to serve:

General contractors needing on-time, large-scale deliveries
Subcontractors who can’t afford to wait for quotes or backorders
Municipalities needing MBE-aligned, audit-proof procurement
Developers and CMs who demand scalable vendor relationships
America’s tradespeople, who deserve suppliers that respect the trade

His plan isn’t to become the biggest—just become one of the respected, reliable, and contractor-driven suppliers in the country.

Leadership That Picks Up the Phone

Ask any client of Prime, and you’ll hear the same thing:

“Jeremy doesn’t hide behind titles. If there’s a problem, he calls. If we need help, he steps in.”

That’s because he built Prime Contractor Supply to represent his values. It’s not just a brand—it’s his name on the truck, and his name behind every PO.
