Budget Builders, Inc.

The Company started as a family-owned business of Pedrito Lumakang and his wife, Esperanza Yu in 1959. With one store helper and one lumberyard man, it was then called NEW CENTRAL LUMBER and was located along C. Padilla Street near the Taboan Market of Cebu City. The business engaged in the trading of sawn lumber and planed stocks. The late ‘90s witnessed the expansion of BBI. From lumber retailing, the company ventured into lumber wholesale distribution and the manufacture and distribution of wood products like kiln-dried doors, mouldings, kitchen cabinets, finger-jointed products, etc. It also engaged in the treatment of wood poles and lumber. BBI is currently actively managed by members of the Lumakang family, namely, Carolyne Lumakang-Go, Arnold Y. Lumakang, Wilson Y. Lumakang, together with their indefatigable mother, Esperanza. In addition, professional managers have been called in to assist in the task of making the company more productive, efficient and competitive. Like the sturdy molave hard wood, the management of BBI continues to operate the business, taking into account sound corporate values such as continuous organizational development, unity and respect, excellence, continuous improvement of production methods and quality standards, good customer relations, and optimization of resources complemented by focused sales and dynamic marketing strategies.
