What SERCO CONSTRUCTION GROUP does

Serco Construction Group, LTD. is a privately held heavy civil and structural construction contractor founded in 2003 and headquartered in Texas, with offices in Dallas and Houston. The company self-performs a unified suite of services covering architectural and structural concrete, mass and structural excavation, site grading, road work, storm drainage, industrial project construction, and flood control and hurricane repair. Its core technology centers on deep operational expertise in complex architectural concrete (e.g., custom elastomeric form liner work at Children's Medical Center), tight-tolerance industrial concrete (Air Liquide tank saddles at 1/4-inch tolerances), deep foundation piers (Parkland Hospital, 100-foot casings), and large-scale flood-control infrastructure (Harris County Flood Control District channels and detention basins). The firm uses Take-Off and Bid2Win professional estimating software for project bidding and cost control.

Serco generates revenue through lump-sum and cost-plus construction contracts, awarded via competitive bidding or negotiated procurement from general contractors, public agencies, and property developers. Pricing is project-specific and quote-based, with no standardized tiers disclosed. The customer base spans federal, state, county, and municipal public works agencies (HCFCD, FEMA-funded projects, San Jacinto River Authority, Clear Lake City Water Authority), commercial developers and GCs (Balfour Beatty Construction), enterprise end-users (Amazon, HEB, Texas Instruments, Air Liquide, Children's Medical Center, Parkland Hospital), and higher education institutions (UNT, SMU, Baylor). Notable project concentrations include the Brays Bayou Flood Damage Reduction Project ($11.7M), Homestead Stormwater Detention Basin Phase II ($5.7M), and Lake Conroe Dam hurricane repairs ($1.6M, completed ahead of schedule).

The company is MBE/DBE and State of Texas HUB certified, holding Bituminous Insurance Certificates of Excellence in Employee and Public Safety. It is founder-owned and operated by Dr. Serge P. Francois (CEO/President) and Gary L. Conaway, P.E. (Senior VP), with a small named executive team across accounting, project administration, and Houston operations. Across its operating history, Serco has executed 100+ major projects with a cumulative value exceeding $250 million, with the largest single project at $17 million. Operations are confined to Texas, with no disclosed expansion beyond the state.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Granite Construction: Large, publicly traded U.S. heavy civil and infrastructure construction company with substantial water resources, transportation, and specialty work. Overlaps Serco's flood-control and excavation scope as a broader incumbent rather than a niche specialist.
• MasTec: Large national infrastructure construction company with significant work in communications, utility, oil & gas pipeline, and heavy civil. Comparable to Serco on storm drainage and excavation scope as a large-scale incumbent in the broader infrastructure category.
• Primoris Services Corporation: Public infrastructure construction firm with utility, pipeline, and civil operations across the U.S. Overlaps Serco on heavy civil earthwork and storm drainage scope as a more diversified incumbent, with deeper capital and broader geographic reach.
• Fluor Corporation: Global engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction (EPC) firm with heavy industrial, infrastructure, and government services. Touches Serco's industrial and government client base (Texas Instruments, Air Liquide, government agencies) but at vastly larger scale and scope.

Emerging players

• MYR Group: Specialty contractor in electrical construction and commercial/industrial infrastructure with Texas presence. Adjacent comparison to Serco on commercial/industrial client base and structural-scope self-perform, though differentiated by electrical specialization.

Regional players

• IES Holdings: Texas-based electrical and infrastructure services provider with mechanical and civil capabilities. Regional Texas overlap with Serco on industrial and commercial construction scopes, though focused more on electrical/mechanical than structural concrete.

Direct peers

• Webber (a Ferrovial company): Texas-based heavy civil contractor specializing in roadways, bridges, water, and drainage infrastructure across Texas and the U.S. South. Direct overlap with Serco on storm drainage, flood control, and structural concrete subcontracting.
• Zachry Group: Texas-based construction and engineering firm executing heavy civil, infrastructure, and industrial projects. Comparable to Serco on heavy civil flood/stormwater work and Texas public-sector client base, though substantially larger and more diversified.
• Sterling Construction Company: Texas-headquartered heavy civil construction contractor performing transportation, water infrastructure, and flood control work across the Sunbelt. Closely comparable to Serco in scale, geographic concentration in Texas, and heavy civil/excavation scope, but with a public listing and broader reach.
• Austin Industries: One of the largest Texas-based contractors performing civil, structural, and architectural concrete, plus heavy civil infrastructure. Highly comparable service mix to Serco (self-perform concrete, structural excavation, public works) with a much larger scale and Dallas/Fort Worth roots.
