Proven wmners

One of the many types of buildings San Antonio erects is the cooling shed. The one you see here (top photo) we buih for Main Industries, a lumber mill, operated by the father and son team of Bill and Bruce Main, in the town of Bieber, Ca.

The design of the cooling shed, used to store the lumber after it comes out of the dry kiln, allows easy and quick movement of the lumber, both in and out.

Under construction (lower photo) is a different kind of building, one for Main Industries' new shop and truck storage. Our proven construction techniques insure that the buildings we erect will be solid and long lasting; what you need to increase efficiency and profitability.

\Thatever type of building best suits your need, San Antonio can build quickly and at a reasonable price. Let us solve your building problems today.
