OUR HISTORY
James Clarke Griffiths, known as Griff, started Griff Building Supplies. Griff was a man of drive, character, and integrity, who had no choice but to make his new business success as he and his wife had sold their home in Burnaby in order to make it happen. With five daughters at home, failure was not an option. From sales to setup, grading lumber to working in the yard, it wasn’t long before Griff bought out his original partners and proudly built the large warehouse. The hard work paid off and Griff Building Supplies experienced rapid growth through the early 1990s, firmly establishing an excellent reputation as one of the reliable building supplies providers in the area.
