Allco

What Allco does

Allco Construction is a privately held Texas general contractor founded in 1985 by Thomas W. Harrison and Eugene R. Allen, operating as Allco, LLC with offices in Beaumont (corporate headquarters), Houston, College Station, and Baton Rouge. The firm delivers projects through four service divisions—Commercial Construction, Utility & Public Works, Roads/Highways & Bridges, and Civil Construction—using Construction Manager At Risk (CMAR), Design-Build, and Competitive Sealed Proposal delivery methods. It self-performs earthwork, site clearing, water and sewer lines, drainage, foundation work, masonry, and envelope paneling, and has cumulatively completed over $1.2 billion of construction since inception.

The company serves a diversified mix of public-sector and private clients across Texas and Louisiana, including school districts (Port Arthur ISD, Beaumont ISD), higher education (Lamar University), state agencies (Texas Department of Transportation, Texas Parks & Wildlife), hospitals (Mid-Jefferson Hospital), utilities (Orange County Water Control District), and commercial enterprises (Market Basket, Chase Bank). Its revenue model is project-based, with contracts won through competitive bidding and ranging from roughly $4 million to $114 million; it has been named a Texas Top 100 Contractor by McGraw Hill Engineering News Record for 12 consecutive years. Technology adoption centers on BIM integration, collaborative program management, and sustainability-focused building performance, with no disclosed proprietary AI/ML capability.

The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales driven by reputation and referrals, supported by limited organic social channels (LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter), industry association memberships (East Texas Association of General Contractors, American Society of Professional Estimators, Project Management Institute), and community programs (State of Texas Mentor/Protege, HUB Mentoring, Lamar University Engineering Advisory Board). Marketing relies primarily on word-of-mouth referrals and a 40+ year safety record anchored by a certified OSHA trainer and over two million incident-free man-hours.
