The story of Reaves Building Systems is the story of a company created by the need for a solution. Lloyd Reaves, with years of experience in mobile home manufacturing and sales, got into the wood truss business in 1978 after reading an article titled 38 Reasons Buildings Often Fail. It occurred to him that the wood truss technology could be applied to other building components, such as wall and roof brace panels and special columns. That idea was sound. Lloyd spent many years perfecting the system, ultimately receiving Patent #4,648,218 for his invention. And it provided a solution for each of the 38 reasons buildings often fail. Today, Reaves Buildings Systems offers four styles of totally engineered buildings which employ this exclusive technology. Reaves is located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where the work ethic is unsurpassed. Our highly-skilled employees take pride in their work, and we use state-of-the-art computer technologies in our manufacturing and engineering areas. Our commitment to quality is unsurpassed. Because we design and assemble our components in-house, we have complete quality control. And unannounced, independent inspections twice each month - along with our stringent company standards - assure our customers of top quality.
