Capco General Contracting

What Capco General Contracting does

Capco General Contracting is a privately held, full-service commercial general contractor founded in 1985 in San Antonio, Texas. Operating under the legal name Capco Steel, Inc. (dba Capco General Contracting), the company provides preconstruction consulting, project management, and close-out services for non-residential commercial construction projects. It was founded specifically to serve the self-storage vertical and has since expanded into retail, office, medical, and warehouse construction, with projects executed across 32 states and an aggregate footprint of several million square feet.

The company's service offering is organized around three phases—preconstruction (site selection, planning, budgeting, design assistance), project management (subcontractor selection, scheduling, safety oversight, dedicated project managers and superintendents), and close-out (as-built documentation, warranty procedures). A differentiated capability is in-house steel fabrication and erection, providing direct control over a critical structural component. No proprietary technology platform, AI/ML capabilities, or digital product is disclosed; the business is a traditional contractor operation supported by a website, social media presence, and active trade show participation in the self-storage industry.

Capco generates revenue through project-based general contracting fees, with pricing quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct, via enterprise field sales to property owners, developers, and commercial businesses, supplemented by website inquiries and inbound referrals. The company is founder-owned and founder-led, with Charles A. Plunkett as Vice President/Founder (industry experience since 1982) and Nicholas Bergmann as President/Partner, and a lean organization of approximately 20 employees.
