What Crescent Constructors does

Crescent Constructors, Inc. is a Plano, Texas-based general contractor founded in 2005 by Michael Daigre that specializes exclusively in public water and wastewater infrastructure construction across North Texas. The firm's project portfolio spans booster pump stations, large sanitary sewer lift stations (up to 130 MGD capacity), water and wastewater treatment plant expansions, chemical delivery and storage improvements, and emergency generator systems, with contract values historically ranging from approximately $1.6 million to $85.8 million per project. Crescent self-performs the major construction disciplines—earthwork and shoring, structural concrete and flatwork, underground and mechanical piping, and pump and process equipment installation—providing control over quality, cost, and scheduling versus competitors that rely on subcontracting.

The company's revenue is generated almost entirely through competitive, project-based public infrastructure contracts with municipal governments and water districts, including North Texas Municipal Water District, the cities of Fort Worth, McKinney, Garland, Frisco, and Irving, Dallas Water Utilities, and Upper Trinity Regional Water District. Go-to-market is direct government contracting with no intermediaries or channel partners; the firm maintains an active bidders' list and a public bidding portal on its website. Over 20+ years, Crescent states it has completed hundreds of projects for every major municipality and water district in the region.

In October 2025, Crescent was acquired by Zachry Construction Corp., a San Antonio-based infrastructure builder with 2,500+ employees. Crescent continues to operate under its own name as a Zachry affiliate, with founder Mike Daigre indicating the deal positions the company for growth on Zachry's national platform. The firm employs 100+ people, has no disclosed revenue, no external funding rounds, and no digital, AI, or software product lines—its competitive position rests on specialized domain expertise, self-perform construction capability, and embedded relationships with North Texas public-sector water buyers.
