Our Story
Golden State Steel Buildings was founded by Robert Chandler, who has lived and worked in the Central Valley since 1995. With years of hands-on experience and an understanding of California building requirements, Robert has helped his customers design steel structures that are functional, beautiful, and built to last.
His daughter, Kathryn, plays a vital role in customer communication and project coordination and proudly represents Golden State Steel Buildings across the Central Coast. Together, they bring a personal, hands-on approach to every project, ensuring clients feel supported, informed, and confident from start to finish.
“We don’t just sell buildings. We help people create spaces they’ll use every day.”
