Houston construction market overview

Houston is the largest construction market in Texas and one of the most active in the nation. The city’s economy is anchored by energy, petrochemical, healthcare, data center, and infrastructure work. The Texas Medical Center alone represents a continuous pipeline of healthcare construction, while the Ship Channel and surrounding industrial corridor drive billions in refinery and manufacturing facility investment.

Key drivers include ongoing Texas Medical Center expansion, multiple data center campuses in the Katy and Cypress corridors, the I-45 North Houston Highway Improvement Project, petrochemical facility upgrades along the Gulf Coast, and Port Houston’s expansion program.

Roles we place in Houston

• Project Managers — Assistant PMs through senior PMs and operations leaders
• Superintendents — Field leaders across heavy civil, site development, data center, multi-family, and industrial/petrochemical construction
• Estimators — Preconstruction and estimating professionals
• Project Engineers — Early-career professionals managing submittals, RFIs, and project documentation
