Surplus Wire Buyers for Construction Companies in SC
General contractors end every project with material that was ordered for a scope that changed. We buy project closeout wire, temporary power cable and leftover building wire from South Carolina builders.
Wire and cable only. Statewide South Carolina pickup, no obligation to sell.
Project closeout is the natural selling moment
('Project closeout is the natural selling moment', ['At substantial completion, a project either returns material or writes it off. Wire that is written off sits in a conex or a warehouse until someone decides to deal with it. Selling at closeout captures the value while the documentation and the reel tags are still available.', 'We buy electrical packages from closeout, including reels ordered for change orders that were never installed.'])
('Temporary power and site cable', ['Construction sites consume temporary power cable: Type W, SOOW, portable distribution cable and generators leads. That cable is heavy, expensive and often retained after the project ends. We buy it, in full reels or used lengths, evaluated on jacket condition.', 'Temporary lighting strings, spider boxes and distribution cable are all in scope as long as they are cable rather than equipment.'])
('Multi-project surplus', ['A contractor running several projects accumulates surplus from all of them. We can quote a combined inventory across jobs, which is often the only way small leftovers become worth a pickup.', 'If your material is spread across job sites, send a list by location and we will plan a route.'])

How this material is evaluated
Three things decide the offer: what the cable is, how much is left, and whether it can still be used. Documentation helps, but it is not a substitute for condition.
| Construction | Type, insulation, voltage rating and conductor material confirmed from print or tag |
| Footage | Reel tag, counter reading or physical measurement |
| Condition | Jacket integrity, moisture at the ends, armor or shield damage |
| History | Never energized, removed from service, or unknown |
| Logistics | Handling equipment, access restrictions and pickup window |
| Documentation | Reel tags, submittals, test records and storeroom lists |
