Texas' 2009 Top Specialty Contractors
Firms survival strategies vary across market sectors
Many specialty contractors face tough decisions in difficult economic times.
By Debra Wood
Texas Construction Magazine - August, 2009
Specialty contractors in Texas -- from large, national entities to single-location firms, such as Speed Fab-Crete -- are feeling the pinch of the economic recession and taking steps necessary to survive.
"We're lucky to be in Texas," adds Mark Zilbermann, CEO of Brandt Engineering, a mechanical and electrical contractor in Dallas but with offices throughout the state. The firm ranked No. 2 in this year's Texas' Top Specialty Contractors list. He says his firm's revenue is down about 10% from last year, but in 2008, the company experienced significant growth. Brandt has developed a specialty in converting existing buildings into more energy-efficient structures.
Speed Fab-Crete fabricated this bridge in Frisco. It has a single-cell arch with head walls and wing walls, and crosses a retaining pond and a 24-ft span with a stone finish and field set.
"So many contractors have moved into Texas," adds David Bloxom, president of Speed Fab-Crete in Fort Worth. Speed Fab-Crete has responded by concentrating on the manufacturing side of its business, building precast concrete bridge sections and retaining walls that are used in road projects. The firm is No. 134 in the Top Specialty Contractors ranking.
"It's not a fun market right now, but it will change," Bloxom says. "We've diversified and have products that will fit into the infrastructure, public marketplace. We're not looking to do near the volume of last year, but we'll do enough to keep the doors open."
Speed Fab-Crete Set a Standard for Quality Workmanship that Exceeded Our Expectations
"From day one to the present, we remain impressed with Speed Fab-Crete by the limitless measures taken to ensure our satisfaction with each aspect of construction."
