Company
Overview
1924
Year Founded
The company was established in 1924, laying the groundwork for a century of infrastructure projects.
$5 Billion
Annual Revenues
With annual revenues around $5 billion, it is among the largest U.S. privately-held construction firms.
6,000+
Global Projects Completed
The company has delivered over 6,000 public and private projects worldwide, including roads, airports, and energy facilities.
Headquartered in San Antonio and led by the third generation of the founding family, it has grown into a global contractor tackling technically unique challenges.
The firm is known for delivering massive heavy-civil works like highways, bridges, dams, airports, and underground utilities.
Its portfolio includes iconic projects such as the award-winning High Five Interchange in Dallas, built ahead of schedule using innovative precast techniques.
Through subsidiaries like a utility-installation division and a federal construction arm, it serves sectors from government infrastructure to industrial campuses.
Oddly, while a division faced bankruptcy over a halted LNG-export terminal in 2024, core operations and other units continued robustly, now rebounding with major heavy-civil contracts.
