Our History
Commonwealth Building Supplies Ltd was formed in March 1973, by the (late) legendary building contractor Mr. Carl G Treco. CBS started out with just six staff members and two major distributorships - Kawneer Architectural Aluminum Products and Steelcraft Hollow Metal Doors and Frames. Both are still represented by CBS some 50 years later.
In the late seventies, Carl's son John and his nephew Brent Burrows were given the opportunity to join the business. Today, they are both shareholders in the company and serve as President & Managing Director and General Manager & Vice President, respectively. During the past 50 years CBS has seen tremendous growth, and is now the nation's leading supplier and installer of Architectural Building Products in both the commercial and residential markets. CBS Bahamas is also the nation's largest Home Improvement Retailer, and boasts the most extensive e-commerce shopping platform in The Bahamas.
CBS Bahamas has expanded as both a retailer and contract supplier. Featuring a 30,000sqft Home Center as the flagship location, CBS takes pride in offering a variety of specialized departments such as Hardware, Lawn & Garden, Cleaning Supplies, Kitchenware, Electrical, Plumbing, Windows & Doors, Tools, etc. More recently, the company launched the all-new CBS PROstore - a new venture aimed directly towards providing Contractors & other Industry Professionals with the building materials they need in bulk quantities & at unbeatable prices.
Additionally, CBS is proud to represent new and exciting brands such as Kohler, Valspar Paints, U.S. Cabinet Depot, Milwaukee Tools, Boise Cascade, USG, Choice Flooring, and so many more; offering a wide selection of high-quality products to outfit your home or commercial building in all areas. We take pride in helping the Bahamas to #buildbeautiful.
