Ridgemont Construction was formed 36 years ago and is a pure Design/Build General Contractor, they subcontract everything but the owner has one point of contact. They depended primarily on repeat business and retention of clients until hiring Seth Williams, 3 1/2 years ago to build the client base as the Director of Business Development. 73% is still repeat business which says a lot about Ridgemont and their reputation.
Ridgemont Construction is now a $100 million company. Seth responds to RFPs and builds relationships. Lots of golf is involved in his job :) but seriously, if they didn't deliver what they promised, relationships or not, they wouldn't get repeat business nor new.
Also, what is impressive is that even during the downturn of 2008-09, they did not lay off any employees. They have grown this year to 40 employees. Their office is very unique and has the open loft feel and looks like it spurs creativity, which is hard with engineers.
Ridgemont Construction is focused primarily on retail, health care and parks/recreation. They enjoy doing the 3Ps: Public/Private Partnership. They are very strategic on defining their client base.
The development that we toured in 107 degree weather will be a Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep dealership located across from Love Field Airport.
It is a metal framed or pre engineered building with plywood creating architectural detail.
Reese gave up his Saturday afternoon with the Promise Keepers to come talk to us yahoos! Thanks Reese.
