About General Contractors of Irving

Commercial and industrial construction built for Las Colinas, Irving, and the DFW metroplex.

Irving sits at the intersection of DFW Airport, the Las Colinas Fortune 500 corridor, Blackland Prairie clay soils, and the I-635 to SH-114 highway network. We built our practice around what that specific market actually demands — Oncor service lead times, geotechnical discipline for expansive clay, FAA airspace coordination, and the schedule rigor that Fortune 500 tenants and Irving ISD deadlines require. The goal is a finished facility that works from the day it is handed over.

How we work

One accountable team from preconstruction through occupancy — not trade-by-trade improvisation.

General Contractors of Irving was built around a straightforward premise: the Las Colinas and Irving commercial market has enough external constraints — Blackland Prairie clay foundations, Oncor electrical service lead times, DFW Airport FAA airspace, City of Irving permit review, TxDOT driveway permits on SH-114 and I-635 — that owners need one team accountable for managing all of it. Not a general contractor who discovers the Oncor service lead time after construction starts. Not a project manager who treats geotechnical findings as someone else's problem after the slab is poured.

Our role is to translate scope into a practical delivery strategy that accounts for the specific constraints of the Irving market, then keep that strategy visible and actionable while the project moves through preconstruction, field execution, and turnover. We work with Las Colinas Fortune 500 corporate campus developers, Irving ISD and adjacent school districts, CHRISTUS Health and other medical office clients, and industrial users along the I-635 and SH-114 corridor who need a general contractor that understands their market rather than treating every project as a generic DFW commercial assignment.

That means procurement decisions are organized around the project's actual constraint profile — curtainwall lead times of 20-36 weeks for Las Colinas Class A office, HVAC equipment ordered before the DFW spring construction season competes for the same mechanical supply, Oncor service applications submitted during preconstruction rather than after mobilization. The result is stronger schedule control, cleaner trade handoffs, and a turnover experience that delivers the facility on the date that matters to the owner.

Irving is the 13th largest city in Texas and the fourth largest in the DFW metroplex. It is home to one of the most concentrated Fortune 500 corporate campus corridors in the country — ExxonMobil, Kimberly-Clark, Caterpillar, McKesson, Fluor, Vizient, CHRISTUS Health, NEC, and Citigroup all maintain significant Irving operations. DFW Airport, the third-busiest airport in the United States, shares Irving's western border and creates the FAA Part 77 airspace constraints that any general contractor working in Las Colinas needs to understand as standard operating context. The DART Orange Line connects Las Colinas Urban Center and Irving Convention Center to downtown Dallas, making transit-oriented development design review part of the planning process for projects near those stations. This is our market. We know it specifically, not generically.

Irving's Blackland Prairie clay geology demands a level of geotechnical discipline that distinguishes competent commercial construction from the kind that produces cracked slabs and differential settlement three years after occupancy. Drilled pier foundations extending 15-25 feet into Eagle Ford Shale or Austin Chalk are routine on Las Colinas commercial projects. Post-tensioned slabs with vapor barriers over moisture-stable subgrade, lime or cement stabilization of expansive clay before large slab-on-grade construction, and geotechnical field observation during drilled pier installation — these are not extraordinary measures. They are the standard of care for commercial construction on Blackland Prairie soils, and we manage them as standard project requirements on every qualifying Irving project.

Irving ISD's enrollment is approximately 70 percent Hispanic — the same demographic profile that characterizes many of the commercial markets we serve across DFW. School construction for Irving ISD and adjacent districts requires TEA design standards, Texas Education Code competitive bidding, and mid-August turnover discipline. Medical office construction for the CHRISTUS Health Irving MacArthur campus and the surrounding medical office market requires NFPA 99 clinical gas compliance, TDLR plan review and inspections, and DSHS licensing coordination. Industrial facility construction along the I-635 LBJ Freeway and SH-114 corridors requires pavement engineering for truck loads, TCEQ Construction General Permit compliance, and active-operation phasing that keeps tenants and production lines running while improvements are made. These are the construction types we deliver as core practice — not as special capability claims, but as the day-to-day work of a general contractor built for this specific market.

Project flow

The delivery path stays consistent even when the scope changes.

A Las Colinas Fortune 500 corporate campus and an Irving ISD school campus have different regulatory requirements and procurement profiles. The management logic — external constraints identified in preconstruction, procurement timed to delivery requirements, field execution tracked against one schedule, turnover planned from day one — stays stable across both. Owners know how the project will move from planning into occupancy because the structure is consistent.

Discovery

Discovery

We review the business case, the site constraints, and the milestones that actually matter. For an Irving Las Colinas corporate campus, that means understanding FAA Part 77 airspace if the site is DFW-adjacent, Las Colinas Association design review timing, and the Oncor primary service lead time before we commit to a schedule.

Preconstruction

Preconstruction

Budgets, geotechnical requirements, long-lead procurement, permit sequencing, and consultant coordination are locked before major spend begins. Drilled pier foundation design for Blackland Prairie clay, HVAC equipment orders for school projects, curtainwall procurement for Las Colinas Class A office — these happen during preconstruction, not after mobilization.

Execution

Execution

Superintendents and project managers drive site activity, issue tracking, and owner reporting against one schedule logic. Three-week look-ahead scheduling tracks critical path activities — concrete pours, crane picks, MEP rough-in, inspection sequencing — and communicates schedule adjustments to owners before those adjustments become unrecoverable.

Turnover

Turnover

Closeout planning starts at mobilization, not at substantial completion. Irving ISD schools turn over to principals by mid-August. Medical facilities need TDLR elevator inspection and DSHS licensing before opening. Corporate campus tenants have lease commencement dates that drive occupancy readiness. Commissioning, punch, and regulatory approvals are managed as planned phases.

Operating principles

What guides our work from preconstruction through handoff in the Irving market.

Principle

Plan early, plan specifically

Irving's permit review runs 4-6 weeks, Oncor electrical service delivery runs 8-16 weeks, and TxDOT driveway permits on SH-114 and I-635 run 6-12 weeks. We front-load these constraints into the project schedule from the first week of preconstruction so the field team inherits a project where external constraints are already accounted for — not discovered mid-construction.

Principle

Lead every handoff

Civil, structural, building systems, concrete slab, paving, and turnover are managed as linked milestones. In the Las Colinas corporate market, Blackland Prairie clay foundation work, curtainwall procurement, and Oncor primary service delivery are not independent conversations — they are connected constraints that need one team managing the sequence.

Principle

Finish with intention

Irving ISD schools turn over in mid-August. Fortune 500 corporate campus leases start on a date that cannot move. Medical facilities need TDLR and DSHS approvals before they can open. Punch, commissioning, licensing, and occupancy preparation are built into the schedule early so closeout is a planned phase, not a scramble.

Markets

Irving and Las Colinas at the core, with DFW-wide market reach.

Our practice is rooted in the Irving and Las Colinas market — the Fortune 500 corridor along SH-114, the DFW Airport-adjacent industrial and logistics market, and the diverse commercial and school construction demand that Irving ISD and the surrounding communities generate. From that base, we serve clients across Tarrant, Dallas, Collin, and Denton counties where the same trade relationships, ownership networks, and delivery discipline apply. We stay focused on the markets where repeat work, shared consultants, and common regulatory frameworks allow us to deliver consistent value rather than restarting from zero in every new city.
