Foundation Building Materials

Foundation Building Materials (FBM) is a leading North American distributor of interior building products — drywall, steel framing, acoustic ceilings, insulation, and complementary construction supplies — serving commercial and residential contractors across the United States and Canada. Headquartered in Santa Ana, California, FBM operates a national branch network and a unified customer ordering platform at myfbm.com (consolidating the legacy fbmsales.com, MyRIS, and MyFBM portals) along with iOS/Android mobile apps for contractors. In April 2025, FBM acquired KCG/Rew Materials, adding 800 employees and 45 distribution branches across 23 states. In August 2025, Lowe's announced an agreement to acquire FBM. Brand families operating under FBM include FBM, RIS, Pacific Source, and Unified Door. FBM does not currently expose any public developer APIs, OpenAPI documentation, partner integration program, SDK, or GitHub organization — its digital surface is limited to buyer-facing e-commerce (search, ordering, order tracking, quick-order PDF/photo ingestion via "Quick Order Entry") rather than a developer/integration product.

Foundation Building Materials is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Building Materials, Distribution, Construction, Drywall, and Steel Framing.

Foundation Building Materials’ developer surface includes developer portal, documentation, engineering blog, FAQ, support, signup flow, getting-started guide, and 7 more developer resources.
