What TEPCON Construction does

TEPCON Construction is a full-service commercial general contractor founded in 2003 and headquartered in Tempe, Arizona. The company specializes in construction and renovation projects executed in occupied corporate environments — facilities that must remain operational during buildout — serving Fortune 500 companies, national property management firms, and facility leaders across five primary verticals: Healthcare, Financial, Retail, Industrial, and Corporate Facilities. TEPCON self-performs select trades including electrical, framing, drywall, and painting, while coordinating subcontracted work for the balance of scope.

The company's service portfolio spans new construction and tenant improvements (lump sum or time-and-materials billing), construction management with Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) delivery, design-assist, pre-construction, facilities construction services with flexible labor-based monthly billing, a subscription lighting maintenance program, and dedicated safety and sustainability services. Distribution is direct and relationship-driven, targeting facility and property managers before formal bidding processes. Job Order Contracting (JOC) programs extend reach into Arizona municipal clients. The company also co-owns DrawAlert, a proprietary construction administration software providing end-to-end project transparency.

TEPCON became 100% employee-owned through an ESOP effective January 1, 2025. The company maintains an Experience Modification Rate (EMR) in the top 3% nationally, holds LEED-accredited team members, and operates with OSHA 500-trained leadership. Strategic alliances with APS Trade Ally and SRP Energy Alliance Partner provide utility rebate access for facilities clients. Notable enterprise relationships include ON Semiconductor (20+ years), CVS, and Cushman & Wakefield (Affiliate of the Year).
