In 1978, a dream was starting to take shape. He might not have known it yet, but our founder, Garth Roberson, was about to embark on a journey that wasn’t merely about constructing walls and ceilings, but about shaping skylines, crafting interiors, and laying down a legacy.
Over the past 45 years, our expertise has grown, but our core values have remained steadfast: dedication to craft, attention to detail, and an unwavering commitment to quality.
As we stand on the threshold of our Sapphire anniversary, it’s a moment to reflect, cherish, and celebrate every project, every challenge, and every triumph. Journey with us as we walk down memory lane, exploring a timeline that spans four and a half decades of excellence, innovation, and unwavering commitment.
Join us in this nostalgic trip, as we proudly showcase our story from inception to date.
