Rocket City and Redstone Arsenal
Huntsville is the largest city in this part of Alabama, and its business and research base drives constant building need. RBC Buildings serves it from Blountsville.
We have one office, in Blountsville. We do not have an office in Huntsville.
Huntsville was founded in 1805 around Big Spring by John Hunt and became the first incorporated town in what is now Alabama. Its 2020 Census population was 215,006, and the city reaches into Limestone, Marshall and Morgan counties as well as Madison.[2]
Redstone Arsenal, NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and Cummings Research Park shape the economy. A city like that has commercial lots, industrial sites and rural edges, so building needs run from offices and shops to barns on its outskirts.[2]
General information. Every project is different, so call us about yours.
RBC designs commercial metal buildings that can serve as shops, warehouses or offices, and turnkey work can run through insulation, wiring and plumbing. Tell us how you use the space.[2]
Sloped sites need extra planning, and the right foundation depends on your land. Describe the lot and we can talk through what a project would involve.[2]
RBC publishes lists for trusses, lumber, doors, insulation, sheathing and trim, and prices are subject to change. They give you a starting point.[2]
The gallery shows examples of RBC buildings so you can see styles and finishes. It is a good place to start your thinking.[2]
The 2020 Census counted 215,006 residents.[2]
NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center formed on July 1, 1960, under Wernher von Braun and developed Saturn boosters for Apollo.[2]
Cummings Research Park lies north of Redstone Arsenal and is described as the second-largest research park in America.[2]
The U.S. Space and Rocket Center features Space Camp and the only Saturn V rocket designated a National Historic Landmark.[2]
Textile mills including Lincoln, Dallas and Merrimack drove growth in the 19th century.[2]
