About Us

Our story begins with Butler grain bins in 1969. From those early days, Briner Building has grown to a $40 Million Dollar Builder with Butler® Manufacturing Company specializing in Warehouse, Office, Industrial and Manufacturing construction. From a smaller custom 38,000sf Office/Warehouse facility to a 325,000sf “metal box” warehouse, Briner Building has the design/build expertise to meet any project need.
Briner Building, Inc. has built its 41-year reputation as a Design/Build General Contractor on strong customer relationships and full construction management services to insure quality construction and on-time project completion. We have been awarded numerous “High Performance Builder” and “Million Dollar Builder" awards from Butler® Manufacturing Company for our excellence and performance in the Design/Build of Butler® Building Construction Systems. We also self perform in-house construction services which include the concrete construction, carpentry, and steel erection portions of the work. Our team of thirty dedicated employees is eager to work with you on your building project!
