BAR Constructors

What BAR Constructors does

BAR Constructors, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned Texas-incorporated general contractor founded in July 1979 and headquartered in Lancaster, Texas. The company specializes in heavy civil construction for municipal water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure, including water treatment plants, wastewater treatment facilities, large-volume high-pressure pump stations, storm water pumping stations, and water transmission pipelines up to 108 inches in diameter. BAR self-performs the majority of its work scope — excavation, structural concrete placement, pipeline installation, and mechanical installation — supported by an on-site concrete batch plant and a maintained fleet of heavy equipment staffed by in-house mechanics and servicemen. Subcontractors are used only for specialty trades such as electrical, painting, HVAC, drilled piers, paving, boring/tunneling, and landscaping.

Revenue is generated through competitively bid, project-based general construction contracts awarded by Texas municipal water utilities, regional water districts, and city governments. Individual project values range from approximately $1 million to over $70 million based on publicly disclosed project references, with one source citing scope up to $130 million. Pricing is determined through the public competitive bidding process, and the company reports having completed over $1 billion in cumulative work since founding. The company is a certified minority-owned business enterprise, which provides preferential access to set-aside public works contracts in Texas.

Geographically, BAR operates in North Texas and Central Texas, serving repeat customers that include Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD), North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD), Upper Trinity Regional Water District (UTRWD), the City of Dallas, the City of Fort Worth, the City of Celina, and Dallas Water Utilities. The company maintains an active bidding pipeline via government procurement channels, employs 51–100 people, and operates with an Experience Modifier Rate (EMR) of 0.91, indicating strong field safety performance. No external institutional investors, parent company, or subsidiary entities are identified in the available data.
