Home products suppliers cover the finish-end purchases that make or break a close-out schedule: appliance suppliers, windows and doors showrooms, lighting suppliers, bathroom vanity showrooms, garage door parts suppliers, fireplace and chimney stores, BBQ suppliers, home theater and audio equipment stores, and wine cellar suppliers. For a general contractor or builder, the common thread is that these are selection-driven, often special-order items whose delivery dates sit on the critical path late in the job, when there is no float left to absorb a miss. Windows and doors are the exception on timing. They are an envelope item, not a finish item, and custom or special-size units can carry lead times of many weeks, so orders should go in as soon as rough openings are confirmed, well before the building is dried in. In California, glazing selections also tie into Title 24 energy documentation, so confirm the supplier can provide the U-factor and SHGC ratings the energy consultant specified. Appliances drive cabinet and utility rough-in dimensions; get exact model numbers before cabinets are ordered, since a change from a freestanding to a built-in range or a wider refrigerator cascades into cabinetry rework. Many appliance suppliers offer builder programs with trade pricing and will hold delivery until the site is ready. Use that, because appliances stored on an active jobsite tend to get damaged. Lighting and vanity showrooms are where client selections most often stall; setting a selections deadline tied to the electrical and plumbing trim schedule keeps the showroom process from dragging the job. Fireplace units need to be selected before framing, since the unit dictates the framing and venting around it. Most of these suppliers offer delivery, and some offer installation through affiliated crews. If a supplier's crew installs, we recommend confirming their license where one applies and their insurance the same way you would a subcontractor's; California's CSLB publishes a free public license lookup, and requirements elsewhere vary by state and trade.
For special-order and custom lines, yes. Orders typically go in as soon as framing plans and rough opening sizes are locked, because lead times run many weeks and the building cannot be dried in without them. The tradeoff is dimension risk: units ordered off the plan set rather than verified openings are a common source of re-orders, and a re-order resets the entire lead time. Ordering from approved shop drawings, with the framer building to them, manages both sides of that risk.
Before cabinets are ordered and before electrical, gas, and plumbing rough-in in the kitchen. Appliance dimensions and utility requirements are all rough-in inputs: gas versus electric, dedicated circuits, water lines for refrigerators. A late appliance change is one of the most common causes of cabinet rework on residential projects.
Held, whenever the supplier offers it. Appliances that sit on an active site through drywall, paint, and flooring collect damage, and warranty claims for jobsite damage are difficult. Most builder-oriented appliance suppliers will warehouse the order and deliver on a call-out date coordinated with the appliance installer and countertop completion.

Put selection deadlines in the schedule and share them with the client at contract time, working backward from lead times: lighting before electrical trim, vanities and fixtures before plumbing trim, with buffer for special orders. Many lighting and vanity showrooms will assign a salesperson to a project; a single point of contact who knows the whole order reduces errors across dozens of line items.
The U-factor and SHGC ratings for each unit, certified through NFRC listings, matching what the project's energy documentation assumed. Inspectors generally look for the temporary performance labels on installed units, so ask the supplier not to strip them before delivery. If glazing selections change mid-order, route the change through the energy consultant, since a lower-performing unit can force the compliance documentation to be recalculated.
