What North Texas Contracting does

North Texas Contracting, Inc. (NTC) is a privately held, self-performing construction firm founded in 1990 and headquartered in Ponder, Texas. The firm specializes in underground utilities, turnkey and structural concrete, wastewater treatment plants and lift stations, trenchless boring/tunneling/directional drilling, and civil general contracting, with project scopes ranging from approximately $10,000 to $93 million. Its core technology is its in-house self-performing workforce, which directly executes work rather than relying primarily on subcontracted labor, enabling tighter control over quality, schedule, and safety on high-profile, accelerated projects.

NTC generates revenue by bidding on and executing construction contracts as both a prime contractor and a subcontractor across more than a dozen verticals, including aviation/airports (e.g., DFW Airport, Southwest Airlines), heavy civil/roads and highway (TxDOT), defense (Lockheed Martin), education (SMU, TCU, UT-Dallas), healthcare (UT SW Medical), rail (BNSF, UP, DART, DCTA, Kansas City Southern), water districts (Trinity River Authority, North Texas Municipal Water District, UTRWD), and a long tail of Texas municipalities. Project acquisition types span competitive hard bid, competitive sealed proposal, cost plus, design assist, design-build, and negotiated private work. The customer roster is heavily weighted toward Texas public entities and tier-one general contractors, with the firm providing bonding as required.

Operationally, the company is led by President and co-owner Jay Louy, with four Vice Presidents/co-owners (Zach Fusilier, Carson Collier, Andrew Rolph, Jarvis Ward) and a Vice President of Administration (Susana Garcia), reflecting a closely held partnership-style ownership structure. Geographic focus is Texas and surrounding states, with active execution in Oklahoma and Kansas. Historical cumulative revenues have crossed the $3 billion milestone in 2025 across 35 years of operations, and the firm maintains a staff of 501-1000 employees supported by dedicated safety and estimating functions.

Direct peers

• Webber (Ferrovial): Texas-based heavy civil and water infrastructure contractor serving TxDOT, municipalities, and rail clients across the South. Directly competes with NTC on TxDOT highway, storm drainage, and water/wastewater bid lists in the same Texas footprint.
• Austin Industries (Austin Bridge & Road / Austin Commercial): Dallas-based diversified construction firm covering heavy civil, road/bridge, and commercial building across Texas. Is itself both a competitor for the same TxDOT and municipal work and an NTC reference on the Capabilities page.
• Sterling Infrastructure (formerly Sterling Construction): Texas-area heavy civil and infrastructure contractor that acquires and self-performs utility, site, and transportation infrastructure work. Directly comparable on the underground utilities, water/sewer, and large-project Texas/regional civil work.
• Sundt Construction: Employee-owned general contractor with strong Texas heavy/civil and concrete presence. Competes for many of the same public works, transit, and transportation-infrastructure programs that NTC targets.
• EMJ Corporation: Texas-experienced general contractor working across commercial, civic, and education markets. Listed as an NTC partnering GC; competes for comparable municipal and education contracts in the DFW area.

Broad incumbents

• McCarthy Building Companies: Top-tier national general contractor active in Texas on water, healthcare, education, and heavy civil. Already cited as an NTC partnering GC; competes for larger building and civil programs where NTC would typically subcontract.
• Balfour Beatty Infrastructure: Global infrastructure delivery group with significant Texas civil and aviation operations (e.g., DFW Terminal A). Functions simultaneously as a competitor to NTC on prime GCs and a GC customer (via subcontracted civil packages).
• Hensel Phelps: Top national aviation, government, and commercial GC that routinely engages regional civil subcontractors like NTC (e.g., Love Field project). Represents the larger-GC counterpart in delivery partnerships.
• Turner Construction: Largest U.S. commercial GC, including its aviation/data-center practice (e.g., DFW SW Hold Pad / Southgate). Acts as both a prime GC and a customer for NTC's civil packages.
• Primoris Services Corporation: Publicly-traded infrastructure, utilities, and energy-services contractor with significant Texas underground utilities and pipeline activity. Comparable scale and self-perform utility capabilities, though broader geographic and end-market exposure.
