Since 1989, Central Builders, an award winning general contractor headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, has completed over $600M in construction projects, including large-scale remodels, expansions and ground-up construction.

Central Builders, Inc. was established by Carl D. Ehrlich to fill a void in the supermarket industry that had long been ignored by large commercial contractors in Texas. Carl saw an opportunity to provide quality work at a fair price on small projects and repairs. Our comprehensive service offerings along with our dedication to quality workmanship, clear communication, prompt service and timely billing have allowed CBI to complete $115M in grocery store projects in the last five years. These recently completed projects include more than 100 remodels and expansions for numerous grocery and retail clients in Texas and other nearby states.


 

CBI is proud to be recognized by the San Antonio Business Journal as one of the 2023 Business of The Year Honorees! Interested in working with us?
