Hi. We are moving to Austin and are planning on building a house. Can anyone please recommend where I can get deeply discounted granite, wood/Laminate flooring and kitchen cabinets. Every city has these awesome outlets that only a few people know about. Please be kind and share your secrets with me. Also if someone can recommend a good general contractor that does not charge an arm and a leg I would be very grateful.

Thank you.

One of the hottest home construction markets in the universe is where you are building. Not sure why anyone would have to come in cheap to get business. Even Habitat Re-Store has high prices

There actually used to be a big warehouse like this near 183 and Lamar. It went out of business a few years ago, and is now a Tyler's store. It was awesome--had no air conditioning, but I bought flooring for my last house there; wish I could remember what it was called. I couldn't find anything else quite like it when we were remodeling our current house last year.

OP, I think it possible to find discounted flooring, granite, etc but you'll have to define "deeply" discounted.

The store we had was called Surplus Warehouse. Google them and you can learn more. There is one somewhere near Waco still; might be worth your drive.
