[ATLANTA, JULY 22, 2013]  —  "Many people do not know that we are a general contracting firm that offers so much more, not just equipping, but also planning and constructing," says Travis, adding, "our new name, CT Darnell Construction, now more accurately reflects the broad spectrum of services we have been offering lumberyard operators for years." 

By rebranding under the CT Darnell Construction (CTD) name, the company is emphasizing that it’s a nationally licensed, full-service planner and constructor of all LBM facilities, from simple storage options to full-scale, multi-unit lumberyards and retail facilities. Like its rack systems, building design and construction go back to the company’s founding 25 years ago.

The company’s capabilities include full-service building design and construction for store buildings, warehouse buildings, bulk storage sheds, and rack supported drive-thru buildings and T-sheds. CTD also modifies existing buildings.  "We typically spend planning time alongside an operations manager of a lumberyard or the owner of a retail store to ensure the finished product has perfect functionality," says Travis.

The firm’s construction business has continued to expand over the last 10 years, building solutions in numerous industries including transportation, retail, restaurants and warehouse facilities, in addition to continued dominance of the LBM market. CT Darnell Construction serves clients from small, privately-owned companies to Fortune 500 businesses.

Founded in 1987 by Alan and Angie Darnell to serve lumberyards and the then-new big-box retailers, the firm has evolved into a full-service, licensed general contractor operating across the United States, Canada and the Caribbean. The company was purchased in 2008 by Travis and Clint Darnell, sons of the founders. Travis and Clint each bring to their roles over 20 years’ hands-on experience in all phases of company operations. 

Today, CT Darnell Construction continues the strength of the family’s construction legacy. President Travis Darnell and Vice President Clint Darnell come from a long line of contractors and builders, including a grandfather who was a general contractor and an uncle who is an architect and a builder. Twenty five years of successfully-completed projects, relationship-building and problem solving have earned the firm an unparalleled reputation in general contracting in the LBM arena.

"Basically, CT Darnell Construction is a new name that represents a broad range of expertise and superior industry knowledge that’s always been there," summarizes Travis.

Sunbelt Racks, http://www.Sunbelt-Rack.com, the company’s retail racking business, has grown to be its own separate division, now named Sunbelt Rack. This division provides racking systems, fixtures, equipment and logistics to retailers large and small.
