RECO Construction

What RECO Construction does

RECO Construction is a privately held, family-owned general contracting firm founded in 1983 and headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The company delivers a full suite of construction services spanning pre-construction planning, construction management, design/build delivery, build-to-suit construction, general contracting, and tenant improvement. Its work is concentrated in the Tulsa metropolitan marketplace and spans multiple end markets including education, healthcare, retail, government, and commercial real estate.

Operationally, RECO runs a project-based contracting business model, earning revenue on the execution of individual construction engagements rather than through recurring subscription or platform fees. Its go-to-market is relationship-driven and locally anchored, leveraging a multi-decade track record and visible project portfolio to compete for mid-complexity builds in its home market. The firm is reported to have between 11 and 50 employees, indicating a deliberately mid-sized, owner-led operation rather than a high-volume platform contractor, and the Rogers family retains ownership and leadership of the business.

There is no evidence of proprietary construction technology, AI-assisted estimating, or digital platform capability in the disclosed information; the company's offering is conventional service delivery differentiated primarily by local market tenure, full-service breadth, and repeat relationships with regional owners and developers. No funding rounds, investor disclosures, or revenue figures are available, consistent with a closely held private operating company.
