Common Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
What Does Factory Direct Mean?
Factory direct means that the company you are working with has a factory of their own where their products are manufactured. The products are offered directly to the public, with no middlemen, suppliers or dealers in the process. This effectively cuts out an entire layer of price increases to the customer, a practice commonly referred to as “cutting out the middleman.”
Why Factory Direct is Better
It is at the Compass Sunroom Factory in Florida where the innovative Colorbeam high-wind framing and Colorspan insulated wall and roof panels are made. Free of costly supply chain partners, Compass can build your project using these superior materials at prices that are competitive with traditional “Light Frame” components. Our unique direct to consumer business model allows Compass to stay on top of best practices in our industry.
What is a Middleman?
A middleman in the building industry can be a supplier or “wholesaler” that buys from a manufacturer. The wholesaler warehouses the product until it is needed by another middleman, the builder or contractor who directly or indirectly (thru subcontractors) installs the product. The important takeaway is that the middleman comes between you and the factory, adding unnecessary layers of costs and decreased accountability because the product was not made by them.
Depending on your project type and complexity, a site visit will take on average between 30 minutes to an hour.

By eliminating the middleman Compass can offer much higher quality at price points that are competitive with the commodity grade materials being used by companies who buy from a middleman wholesaler or supply house. Why pay for the wholesalers markup on lower quality materials that only make them more expensive?
