What O'Donnell/Snider Construction does

O'Donnell/Snider Construction (OSC) is a privately held, founder-owned commercial general contractor founded in 1991 in Houston, Texas. The firm provides end-to-end construction services—pre-construction, construction, and post-construction delivery—organized into four operating divisions: Corporate Interiors, New Construction, Healthcare/Research, and Capital Improvements & Landlord Services. Its client base spans healthcare providers (Memorial Hermann TIRR, Houston Methodist Baytown, HCA Kingwood, Harris Health System), corporate occupiers (TDECU, Jones Day, Castle Biosciences, CAZ Investments), institutional and civic entities (Houston Zoo, Lamar University, SEARCH Homeless Services), and energy and professional services firms, with projects executed exclusively in the Greater Houston metropolitan area.

OSC's service platform is built on a 150+ person in-house team—40+ project managers and engineers plus 55+ superintendents—that operates custom job-specific systems with three-week look-ahead scheduling projections. The firm differentiates on safety, holding an OSHA Strategic Partnership with the AGC Houston Chapter, comprehensive 'Clean & Safe' jobsite programs, and rigorous subcontractor prequalification. It also targets LEED-certified delivery on larger projects (Houston Zoo HQ, JLL Houston HQ). The company does not publish a technology product; its differentiators are operational, reputational, and relationship-based rather than software- or IP-based.

OSC generates revenue through project-based fixed-price and negotiated general contracting contracts, acquired primarily through direct enterprise sales, referrals, architect relationships, and repeat business. The firm reported $300+ million in revenue in 2023 and ranks #356 on the ENR Top 400 Contractors list. The company remains under the leadership of co-founders Randy O'Donnell (Chairman) and Trey Snider (Chairman and CEO), with Marc Perilloux as President and COO since January 2025; it carries no disclosed external institutional ownership and is not a candidate for near-term public offering.
