R Squared was started by Jerry Quinn and his sons in 1984 in Temple, TX. Jerry infused the building with decades of construction experience passing down that knowledge to his sons: Randy and Tommy. In 2006, Jerry had built a successful business and wanted to retire. Long time construction friend, Mike Robinson and his son Heath Robinson purchased the building in October of 2007. Changing the name to R Squared, Heath and Mike immediately began to grow the business to tackle larger projects and a higher project volume. Heath's professionalism and focus on innovation and technology made a good match for the deep knowledge of metal construction developed by Tommy and Randy and Marshall Wilson, long time crew leader. This team is working to bring the best of steel construction to Temple-Belton-Killeen, Waco, and Austin.
