What Wright Construction does

Wright Construction Company, Inc. is a privately held underground utility contractor founded in 1963 and headquartered in Grapevine, Texas, that operates exclusively within a 100-mile radius of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.

The company's revenue model is one-time project-based contracting with no recurring or subscription revenue stream.
