Trust begins with people who care.

Our Story

Just as each of our projects begins with a cohesive vision that starts from the ground up to ultimately become a finished work, Continental Building Systems (CBS) has been built upon a solid professional foundation: a base of Core Values that has served as a guide for well over two decades. Since our inception in 1984, when CBS first began handling office and retail projects, the firm has been steadily building both an established professional track record and a national reputation for quality, efficiency and professionalism.

Continental Building Systems has grown into a $250 million company managing hundreds of client partnerships and a diverse portfolio of award-winning projects that span the nation. With demonstrated experience and proven success in virtually every type of commercial construction area, including retail, office, healthcare, multi-family, student housing, recreational and mixed use, CBS is able to provide the kind of flexible, reliable and efficient service that generates positive word-of-mouth and extensive referrals from repeat clients. Coast to coast, CBS' experienced team of highly-qualified professionals has established a consistent record of success, providing a broad range of both General Contracting and Construction Management services.

While the numbers have changed, the underlying commitment to principles of Trust, Value, Service, Safety and Community have not. From the firm's headquarters in Columbus, to our offices in Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Charlotte, CBS fosters a firm-wide atmosphere of teamwork, accountability and communication that extends to every employee and every job site. We are personally invested in each of our projects and understand that every successful partnership begins with people who care.
