History of Action Buildings

James N. Cantrell
Founder
Action Buildings was founded in the spring of1980 by James and Jean Cantrell. In the early years, the small family owned company only sold and built portable buildings at our Buena Vista Road location. Hard work and quality products allowed the company to expand , and open additional locations. With growth of the company the need for additional manufacturing space was needed. In 1983 the manufacturing division was relocated to our 15 acre site on Brennan Road. Additional locations allowed the company to expand and offer new products and additional services for our customers, garages, carports, brick structures, gazebos, truck tops and accessories. With continued growth the Cantrell children….Spencer, Rick, Mark, and Mac assumed positions within the company to assist in the day to day operations. Several grandchildren, and other family members now work within the company. James and Jean Cantrell’s small company has grown to include 10 locations located in Georgia, and Alabama, and employs over 60 people from the Columbus and Phenix City area. Their goal to employ local people, manufacture a quality product, and price it competively, has allowed Action Buildings to expand and grow continually. We are now the largest manufacturer/retailer of buildings in the area, having served thousands of happy customers for 32 years.
