Don't take our word for it

Our general contractor couldn't source luxury shower tile for our 101-room hotel project at a reasonable price. After engaging Flume, we sourced the exact same Japanese tile for nearly half the cost, saving us $45,000 with ahead-of-schedule delivery.

Brett Keeler

Owner, Maverick Development

Feeling defeated by rising prices and possible tariff implementation, we decided to try Flume for a hotel renovation in Arkansas, and not only did they deliver, they keep delivering. They already saved us $500K and we'll definitely use them going forward.

Charles Mackey

Principal, Dwellist

Flume came to the rescue on a recent hotel project when key finishes were coming in well over budget. They sourced materials that met our exact specifications at a fraction of the cost without compromising the design.
