What Martin-Harris Construction does

Martin-Harris Construction, LLC is a privately held general contractor founded in December 1976 in Las Vegas, Nevada, and currently led by President Guy Martin, son of co-founder Frank Martin. The company delivers projects across multiple verticals — healthcare, education, mission critical/data centers, hospitality and casino, industrial, multi-family, aviation, and federal/municipal — through three delivery methods: design-build, Construction Manager-at-Risk (CMAR), and traditional design-bid-build. It holds a Nevada contractor's license (License #0079469) and operates regional offices in Las Vegas (headquarters), Reno, and Lakewood, Colorado, with 251-500 employees.

The company's core technical capabilities include in-house Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) using Building Information Modeling (BIM), self-perform concrete work (capable of at least two pours per week for slabs and wall panels), and a dedicated Mission Critical Group staffed by Uptime Institute-certified specialists that has completed complex data center builds up to 300 megawatts. Service offerings span preconstruction and design-assist, design-build, design-bid-build, construction management, sustainable/LEED construction, and new construction, renovation, tenant improvement, and demolition. Notable projects include the Las Vegas Convention Center Phase II Expansion (West Hall) as part of a Turner Construction joint venture, the 90,000 SF Intermountain Health Badura Clinic, multi-school builds for Clark County School District, hospitality tenant improvements at Caesars Palace, Mandalay Bay, and Luxor, and a partnership role in the $6.75 billion Bleutech Park Las Vegas multi-sports venue.

The business model is project-based fee- or contract revenue earned through competitive bidding, negotiated contracts, and CMAR guaranteed maximum price agreements on a per-project basis. Go-to-market is sales-led and enterprise-focused, pursuing developers, healthcare systems, school districts, hospitality operators, and government agencies across Southern Nevada, Northern Nevada, and Colorado with limited regional diversification. The company is ranked #160 on ENR's Top 400 Contractors Survey (2020, up from #255 in 2002) and has been named NAIOP Southern Nevada General Contractor of the Year for five consecutive years (2021-2025).
