About Remuda Building & Supplies
Remuda Building & Supplies, headquartered in Rocky View County, AB, is a reputable post frame builder and supplier of building materials.

Today, Remuda is known across the prairies for the quality of its post frame buildings, unique finishings, distinct designs, and extraordinary customer service.
