Company Timeline
Our Founder
Born and raised in Central Nebraska, Myron Andersen had a dream to open a lumber yard in Kearney, Nebraska in efforts to increase efficiencies in having building materials readily available for all contractors in the region. In 1977, Myron did just that. With a young family, great determination, and lofty goals, Myron opened “Payless Building Center” on 30th Ave. Fortunately for us all, Myron had the drive to continue to grow the business and make what is now Builders, who we are today! It wasn’t always easy as Myron will often say. Our industry has fallen upon several dark times making it very difficult to succeed. However he always directs the success of the business to the people who made this company.
“This has been a great journey. I have been privileged to meet and work with some amazing men and women along the way. It is with a great team effort that we have been a successful company over the past 39 years. Our employees, vendors, family members, friends, and community has been the driving force behind making our Builders company what it is today. Words fail to express the appreciation of your support for our company.”
