About The Organization:

Founded in Charlotte in 1977, The Building Center, Inc. has grown from a single location into one of the largest privately held lumber and building materials dealers in the United States. Nearly five decades later, we remain family-owned and family-driven, guided by the same commitment we started with: to be our customers' most valued building partner.

With more than 200 trucks on the road and a strong network of divisions strategically located throughout the Carolinas, we deliver consistent, reliable service to builders across the region. Our divisions include:

• South Carolina:
  Easley, Columbia, Holly Hill, Georgetown, Newberry
• North Carolina:
  Rock Hill, Boone, Monroe, Ocean Isle Beach, Pineville, Gastonia, Greensboro, and Mebane

Our regional strength allows us to purchase and sell branded and commodity products at competitive prices, while tailoring our inventories to match local building practices, architectural trends, and the unique needs of each market. Beyond supplying materials, we provide a full range of manufacturing support—including truss plants in North and Central North Carolina, millwork and door shops in the Triad and Charlotte metros, and custom fabrication in Pineville, where we also craft specialty products like reclaimed lumber flooring, cabinetry, mantles, and siding.

What makes The Building Center truly different is our culture and our people. We believe construction is, at its heart, a people business—built on relationships, trust, and hard work. Our values of service, integrity, and dependability guide us in every interaction, whether we're serving customers, supporting our communities, or developing our employees.
