GBS Building Supply

Founded in 1972 by a group of 10 local homebuilders, GBS Building Supply is dedicated to delivering more than just products. We want to truly partner with our builders, remodelers, and homeowners to become an integral part of their decision-making process. Growing from a startup with just 10 workers to an employee-owned company with a staff over 100 strong, GBS has thrived thanks to strong executives and a supportive board of directors comprising pillars of the home-building community. Landers, the company’s first president, was followed by Jim Harrell, then Ron McNeely and, most recently, Bob Barreto. Two of the original board members—Graham Proffitt and John Cothran—continue serving to this day. With our history of success as the most solid of foundations, GBS in mid-2011 laid plans for yet another expansion built on both new and enhanced products, services and solutions. Focused, as ever, on its building-based clientele, the company rebranded itself as GBS Building Supply, removing “Lumber” from its name to emphasize not only strength as a lumber yard but also expertise in installed sales, green products, remodeling/renovation design services and commercial applications.
