Company Info

Cobre Building Systems Inc. has been a highly respected construction company in Tucson and Southern Arizona since 1973. Our President, Tim Puntenney, has over 39 years of experience in construction, and our qualified staff adds over one hundred years of combined experience. Cobre’s driving philosophy centers on the provision of client based construction services. We prefer a “team oriented” approach where we work with owners and architects during the development and design phases of a project to assist in determining the most cost effective building method. We take the time to listen to our client’s needs and then provide relevant, honest and insightful building options.

We review all existing documents, assess site conditions, and utilize a thoughtful, experienced approach to provide construction services specific to the project. In our opinion, no project is “typical,” each has unique requirements which should be carefully considered in determining the design and construction plan. Throughout the years we have developed a group of highly qualified and responsible employees and subcontractors. In addition, we have established an excellent working relationship with many architects and engineers. We are experienced in pre-engineered systems construction as a Butler Manufacturing authorized builder as well as conventional construction. We provide superior workmanship, competitive pricing and innovative technologies. We specialize in building industrial, commercial, retail and agricultural projects. We use the latest construction techniques, highest quality materials and the latest energy saving designs including insulated panel systems, solar photovoltaics and daylighting. Whether your project is a simple tenant improvement, an airplane hangar, or a complex medical office you can rest assured that Cobre Building Systems, Inc. will deliver the best value, on time and within the budget.
