Following a record year, Dallas-based Gallagher Construction Company, L.P., and its global parent, Cumming Group, have continued an impressive growth trajectory across Texas. Demonstrating robust client-first performance, the construction consultancies witnessed a 30% surge in business statewide, marking a significant year-over-year increase. Due to this success, they are now operating out of four strategically located dual-branded offices in key growth centers. Establishing additional offices in Ft. Worth, Waco, and Houston within the past year has strengthened the firms’ local presence to 218 team members. The client-focused workforce has allowed Cumming Group and Gallagher Construction Company to greatly expand client resources through growth and strategic partnerships.
Gallagher Construction Company, with more than five decades of collective local experience, is currently led by President, Jeff Fisher. Additionally, Cumming Group’s Brian Nicholson, founder of Waco-based Intrepid Group, which merged with Cumming Group in 2023, is dedicated to providing client-first management on all private sector assignments in Texas. Von Gallagher, head of Texas operations, actively leads the two brands across the State. Under his leadership, Gallagher Construction Company has completed more than $4 billion in construction projects and continues to increase its industry presence. In his current role, Mr. Gallagher pursues a daily initiative to drive the value, growth, and client satisfaction throughout Texas for legacy and new clients alike.
Mr. Gallagher noted, “Keeping the best interest of our clients at the forefront and leveraging our team’s deep understanding of the Texas educational, municipal, and private construction markets continue to propel us forward. Our success is a testament to our unwavering dedication to our local communities, clients, and our deep-seated understanding of Texas construction intricacies. With the outstanding leadership of Jeff Fisher and Brian Nicholson at the helm, the opportunities for us in Texas are endless. I am blessed to be a part of these amazing teams while assisting them in meeting their goals.”
Substantially increasing its local team members and depth of expert resources across five offices, the Cumming Group/Gallagher team of dedicated cost, scheduling, and project management professionals are all highly experienced in the unique aspects of Texas development. In addition to traditional construction and project management services, the Gallagher team also provides numerous K-12 school districts with several specialized services including pre-referendum planning, bond election and town hall coordination, site evaluations, constructability reviews, cost estimating, and project scheduling, among many other critical client-focused activities.
Together, the Cumming Group/Gallagher team, has helped clients across several sectors including healthcare, corporate, K-12, hospitality, data centers, and higher education to deliver successful projects throughout Texas for more than 56 years.
