Venus Construction

What Venus Construction does

Venus Construction, Inc. is a third-generation, family-owned site utility contractor headquartered in Mansfield, Texas, founded in September 1967 by Samuel "Big Mac" McAda and Geraldine McAda with a single 4500 Ford Backhoe. The company installs underground wet utilities (water mains, sewer, storm drainage, concrete structures) and dry utilities (natural gas, electrical, telecommunications) for residential developers, commercial contractors, multi-family developers, and municipal/TxDOT agencies across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, with service coverage extending into the Waco and Temple markets.

The firm's service portfolio comprises four core lines — Dry Utilities Installation, Wet Utilities Installation, Turnkey Civil Services, and Surveying — supplemented by sister companies CLLA Group (paving) and Tierra X (excavation) that allow turnkey, pad-ready site delivery under a single accountability structure. Technical capability includes FAA-licensed drone pilots, Ground Penetrating Radar, electromagnetic locators, photogrammetry, LiDAR scanning, and the proprietary ArmorLoc erosion-control block system. The firm holds WAS-approved contractor status with Atmos Energy, Oncor, Spectrum, and AT&T, pre-qualifying it for franchise utility installation across North Texas.

Venus Construction generates revenue through project-based competitive bidding and direct sales relationships, with no disclosed pricing tiers or subscription model. Distribution is sales-led, reaching enterprise and government buyers through website bid-request forms, direct phone contact, and subcontractor partnerships with general contractors such as Zachry Construction, Sundt Construction, and Tiseo Paving. The customer base spans residential homebuilders (UnionMain Homes, Yardly by Taylor Morrison), multi-family developers (Rampart Multifamily), municipalities (City of Fort Worth, City of Justin), and commercial end-users (Olive Garden). The firm is led by President & CEO Josh McAda with COO Jeff Woodall and a veteran-heavy management team, and remains privately held under McAda family ownership with no disclosed external capital, acquisitions, or funding rounds.
