Founded in 1969 by childhood friends Steve Rogers and Pat O’Brien, Rogers-O'Brien Construction has established itself as a premier builder in Texas, boasting an impressive 50-year legacy in delivering high-quality commercial projects. The company initially commenced its journey with a modest $11,000 contract for a single-stall truck wash station but quickly gained momentum by partnering with Stran-Steel Corporation and diversifying its construction portfolio beyond metal buildings. Throughout the decades, Rogers-O’Brien adopted the design-build method, investing in technology and cultivating relationships that would greatly enhance its capabilities.
The company’s focus on safety, integrity, quality, and relationships, which it refers to as the 'RO Ride,' reflects its commitment to providing exceptional service. As a pioneer in the construction technology arena, it transitioned from traditional paper drawings to innovative digital solutions, saving thousands of hours and significant costs. This forward-thinking approach, combined with investments in training and strategic growth, has propelled Rogers-O’Brien to the forefront of the industry while expanding its operations into major Texas markets such as Fort Worth, Austin, and Houston.
Under the leadership of the McAfee family, now in its third generation, Rogers-O’Brien continues to thrive, approaching $700 million in annual revenue and maintaining its reputation as a trusted contractor known for excellence and strong relationships. The company emphasizes its commitment to improving efficiencies through technological advancements while striving to deliver a better way of construction for its clients. As it looks to the future, Rogers-O’Brien Construction stands poised to remain a leader in Texas and beyond, leveraging its rich history and forward-looking mindset to capture new opportunities.
