Who We Are

As a family-owned and operated small business we take pride in building the local economy, one space at a time. We build spaces for some of Central Ohio’s premier small and mid-sized businesses and partner with the area’s leading developers to bring exciting new concepts to life.

What sets us apart is our top-of-the-line service, flexibility, ingenuity, and willingness to work harder than the rest. We strive to not only build strong spaces, but also strong relationships, by ensuring a positive project experience for each client. 

Our History

Gary Beckmann founded Spectrum Builders in 1977 after realizing the tremendous growth taking place in the Columbus economy. At the time he was working as a carpenter on construction sites across Ohio, giving him an insider’s perspective on the demand for commercial space. He decided to seize the opportunity and open his own carpentry firm dedicated to offering quality craftsmanship in a trustworthy and reliable manner. Throughout the 1980s the company expanded to offer commercial general contracting, construction management, and custom development services to clients across Columbus.
