In home building, you may need to work with vendors and suppliers to set project expectations and deliverables. You may, perhaps even be required to spend some time negotiating points like pricing, shipping, and deadlines.
Walk the interviewer through any experience you have dealing directly with vendors. Include details such as who you have dealt with, how many times you would be in contact per week, the value of your major vendor accounts or perhaps how much money you have saved your company by establishing great relationships and being offered excellent deals.

"I work with around 50 different vendors, all in a different capacity. My largest vendor relationship is with ABC Suppliers. We speak around three times per week as our company spends millions with them every year. We have a great working relationship, and I can gain the best rates and expedited shipping because of this rapport. I am certain that I will accomplish the same, working with the vendors and suppliers you use here at PulteGroup."

"In my current position, I help with vendor management when a project manager needs someone to help out due to overflow; however, it is not part of my typical position duties. With that said, I am very comfortable speaking with vendors and suppliers and negotiating deals."

Jaymie's Feedback
If you can incorporate any skills or traits that you feel would be helpful when working with vendors (IE, interpersonal skills, extroverted, effective communication, etc.)., that will make your answer even more impactful.
