Company Description:
Williams Brothers Construction Company is a Houston-based firm that was founded in 1955 by J.K. Williams, C.K. Williams and J.D. (Doug) Pitcock, Jr. In the following year, the Interstate Highway Act was signed into law by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The Williams brothers were bought out in 1964 and 1984, respectively, leaving Doug Pitcock as the sole shareholder. Since 1998, the company has been in the process of converting to an employee-owned corporation. The company has performed all of its work under the open, competitive bid process, with 95% of that work done for its principal client, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). Williams Brothers has completed over 350 projects with a total value of over 2 billion dollars. We have been awarded over 2 billion dollars in federal aid highway work in the previous ten years making Williams Brothers one of the largest highway contractors in the United States as well as the largest in Texas during this period. In 1998 and 1999, Williams Brothers was recognized as the largest federal aid highway contractor in the U.S. Williams Brothers is a vertically integrated company with a highly skilled and motivated workforce. The company has the ability to self-perform most construction tasks related to road and bridge construction. Williams Brothers currently operates in the Houston area, the lower Rio Grande Valley, and San Antonio. Despite the wonderful construction accomplishments, the one aspect of the company operations of which its employees are most proud and consider to be the cornerstone of the corporation is our safety program. Williams Brothers safety program produces the lowest accident experience modifier ratio of any highway construction company in the country. The corporate philosophy reflects our motto, a safe company to work for."
