Partners in Business and in Life
Every business has a beginning, but for us, the foundation of CBC was built long before the company itself ever existed.
ABOUT ME
Shane Smith
Shane Smith was originally born in Jacksonville, NC, and moved to Atlanta, GA as a child. From an early age, he developed a strong work ethic, starting his career as a teenager in the concrete and cabinetry industries. While attending the University of Georgia, Shane continued building his experience in construction and craftsmanship. After spending nearly 20 years in Georgia, he moved to Wilmington, NC in 2002 to be closer to his parents. Just two years later, in 2004, he founded CBC, with a vision to build a company known for quality work, efficiency, and strong character.
ABOUT ME
Ann Smith
A Wilmington native, attended Cape Fear Community College and began her professional journey in retail management. Over time, she transitioned into construction property management, where she developed valuable experience in operations, organization, and client relationships.
Our paths crossed in 2007 when we met at church. What began as a friendship soon grew into something much deeper. In 2009, Ann joined the CBC team, bringing her experience and leadership to help grow the company. Working side by side strengthened both our partnership and our vision for what CBC could become.
In 2013, we were married, officially becoming partners in both life and business.
Today, our greatest pride is our family. Between us we have two grown sons, three wonderful grandchildren, and our loyal 12-year-old dog, Asher, who keeps life interesting. When we’re not working, you’ll often find us enjoying time on the water boating or fishing, practicing martial arts, or simply spending time with the people we love most.
At CBC, the values that guide our family are the same values that guide our company.
Our Mission
is simple
To provide every client with an outstanding experience built on quality, efficiency, and integrity. These principles guide every project we take on and every relationship we build. Because for us, construction isn’t just about building structures — it’s about doing things the right way.
