About Us Keystone Building Company, Inc. was founded in September of 1995 primarily as a single-family home construction company. The company has since expanded into multi-family, light commercial construction, and land development. Keystone has grown from a one-man operation into nine employees that have built approximately 400 homes in the Birmingham area. Keystone has been named as one of the top 10 largest homebuilders in the Birmingham, AL area for the past four years by Birmingham Business Journal. Keystone has also received great recognition during the Parade of Homes with 4 Gold awards, 5 Silver awards and 2 Bronze awards over the last six years. Keystone has become known in the Birmingham real estate market for developing and building cutting edge projects in niche areas. In the years to come, the company plans on expanding its multi-family and commercial markets, as well as expanding the land development side of the business. Keystone has been able to attract some of the best talent in the building industry and plans on continued steady controlled growth. We are very appreciative of having good, hardworking employees that are dedicated to completing a well built project in an efficient and safe manner.
