Townsend Building Supply Raises the Bar with Its Largest Full-Service Yard
When Townsend Building Supply set out to build its largest full-service yard, they assembled an architect to create the vision and a general contractor to bring it to life. But to bridge those two worlds—ensuring both smart design and efficient execution—they turned to a trusted partner: CT Darnell Construction.
Collaborating for Success
With deep expertise in lumber and building materials, CT Darnell helped optimize the design, streamline communication, and identify cost-saving solutions—such as switching from tilt-wall concrete to an all-metal structure for significant savings.
They also introduced labor-saving racking systems and space-maximizing innovations, ensuring that Townsend’s new location would be efficient, organized, and built for long-term success.
At a Glance: What They Built
✔ 9-acre site in Panama City, FL
✔ Three pre-engineered metal buildings, including:

Now a thriving hub for construction supply, Townsend’s newest location stands as a post-pandemic success story, proving that with the right partners, vision, and execution, big plans can become reality.
