Employee-Owned Construction Company in DFW

Aligning everyone to achieve the same goal

McCownGordon is proud to be 100% employee owned.

Employee ownership (an “ESOP” model) encourages an engaging and collaborative environment that inspires new, progressive ideas and overcomes challenges. This allows both our employees and clients to reap the benefits of a successful building experience.

What is an ESOP?

An ESOP is an employee ownership structure that works similarly to a 401k as a qualified retirement plan. Employees are given ownership over the company’s stock, and more shares are distributed to employees over time. Each employee has their own account that holds their shares in the company.

This opportunity attracts top talent, increases productivity and encourages employees to stay at McCownGordon for the long-term. Upon becoming fully vested, the employee-owner gets their name added to a custom handcrafted ESOP wall.

What does employee ownership mean for clients?

Employee ownership highly benefits both associates and clients. Methods and processes are constantly evolving, requiring companies to embrace change and innovative thinking. When you don’t embrace and adapt, you risk falling behind. In the culture of our employee-owned construction company, every associate is empowered to bring new ideas to the table and challenge the status quo.

Studies show that staff from all levels are more engaged when they have a stake in the company’s success. The Gallup survey shows more than 98% of associates are engaged — proving they know what is expected, believe the work they are doing is important, receive regular recognition and have opportunities to grow.

Building long-term relationships

Employee owners are more likely to stay at a company for multiple years, if not their entire career, and create long-term relationships with clients. Recognizing the inherent challenges in the construction journey for our clients, McCownGordon dedicates itself to ensuring a straightforward and seamless process.

This commitment is upheld by approachable and supportive individuals dedicated to building and strengthening authentic and enduring relationships. We consistently fulfill our customer experience promise, with over 70% of our projects being for repeat clients.
