Supporting Quality Builds Through Strong Partnerships

Supporting Quality Builds Through Strong Partnerships

Akin Building Center, we believe the best projects are built on more than quality materials—they’re built on strong relationships, trust, and collaboration. One recent project with Stevens Brothers is a great example of how those values come together from planning to completion.

Tyler and Zac of Stevens Brothers sourced their lumber, trusses, siding, and interior trim from Akin Building Center. Throughout the process, their attention to detail, pride in workmanship, and commitment to building quality structures were clear at every stage of the project. We’re grateful for the opportunity to work alongside skilled contractors who value both craftsmanship and dependable materials.

More Than Materials: The Role of Project Estimators

An important part of many successful projects is the planning that happens before construction ever begins. At Akin Building Center, our Project Estimators play a key role in helping contractors and customers prepare for a smooth build.

For this project, support was provided by Tyler Courtier, Project Estimator at the Clarinda Akin Building Center. Project Estimators assist by:

  • Reviewing plans and specifications

  • Creating accurate material takeoffs

  • Helping identify product options that fit the project’s needs

  • Working closely with contractors to support efficiency and organization

This service helps ensure materials are ordered correctly, timelines stay on track, and surprises are minimized once construction is underway.

A Community-Driven Approach

We value every contractor who chooses Akin Building Center as their supplier and appreciate the trust placed in our team—whether it’s for a single project or a long-term partnership. Collaborations like this reflect our commitment to supporting builders across our communities with dependable products and knowledgeable service.
