Skip Norris Interview

by Brand Builders Podcast

Brand Builders Podcast with our President, Skip Norris

Skip Norris is the President of The Building Center, one of the largest privately held lumber and building products companies in the United States. The company was founded in Charlotte in 1977 by his father, Ed Norris. And what started as a single building supply operation has grown into a vertically integrated powerhouse with lumberyards, truss plants, custom millwork operations, and door shops all across the Carolinas. We’re talking over 400 employees, a fleet of trucks that’s the largest in the Carolinas, and more than a dozen locations stretching from Boone all the way down to the South Carolina coast.

What makes this story especially interesting is how Skip has grown a business that his father built while keeping the values that made it worth growing in the first place.

Everything you need to turn a house into a home.
