SPECIALIZED SUPPLIER · U.S. MILITARY & DEFENSE CONSTRUCTION
US-Spec Materials,
Delivered to Your Site.
From U.S. Marine, Army, Navy and Air Force installations across Japan to Ministry of Defense (MOD) and JSDF projects that call out overseas products — and to international hotel brands and COSTCO-class commercial developments — B&B TSUSHO sources, documents and delivers building materials engineered to U.S. specifications.
WHO WE ARE
A bilingual supply partner between U.S. specifications and Japanese sites.
B&B TSUSHO INC. is an Okinawa-based supplier focused on construction projects where overseas materials and U.S. specifications are required. We work alongside prime contractors, sub-contractors and inspection teams to source U.S.-spec materials, prepare submittals in English and Japanese, and deliver to base and to site.
Read our storyMARKETS WE SERVE
Built around four demanding client groups.
Our work concentrates where overseas product, U.S.-style documentation and Japanese on-site reality intersect. The four markets below are where we add the most value.
MOD / JSDF
Japan MOD & JSDF projects
MOD and JSDF construction projects where overseas products or U.S.-aligned specifications are written into the contract — and where bilingual sourcing materially reduces risk.
INTERNATIONAL HOTELS
International hotel brands
Foreign-flag hotel and resort developments where brand standards mandate FF&E, plumbing fixtures, finishes and life-safety equipment imported from overseas suppliers.
BIG-BOX RETAIL
COSTCO-class commercial developments
Foreign-owned big-box retail and logistics facilities — COSTCO and similar — where structural, MEP and refrigeration components are imported to international standards.
WHAT WE DO
Quotation, submittal support, and last-mile logistics — under one roof.
Quotation & Specification Sourcing
We read your drawings and specifications, cross-reference UFC / UFGS / ASTM / JIS, and return a structured quotation with U.S.-spec products, lead times and substitutions where appropriate.

We translate, format and package the cut sheets, MTRs, O&M manuals and shop drawings required for prime-contractor and government approval, and stay on the project until close-out.

WHY B&B
Why prime contractors and design teams choose us.
01 ·
Bilingual technical fluency
We read U.S. drawings, SPECs and submittals natively in English, and translate intent — not just words — into Japanese for site, factory and inspection teams.
02 ·
U.S. spec literacy (UFC / UFGS / ASTM)
We cross-reference UFC, UFGS, ASTM and JIS so that overseas products are matched, substituted or qualified against the contract specifications, not assumed.
03 ·
Submittal-ready documentation
Cut sheets, MTRs, O&M manuals and shop drawings — translated, formatted and packaged for prime-contractor and government review.
04 ·
On the doorstep of major U.S. installations
Headquartered in Okinawa — adjacent to the highest concentration of U.S. military installations in Japan — with logistics scaled for both LCL imports and base-gate deliveries.
