Building Texas for More than 40 Years

Celebrating Our History

Driven By Our Culture
Emerson is a privately held, full service general contracting firm based in Temple, Texas.

Founded in 1979, we have developed a solid, satisfied customer base in educational, government, municipal, retail, and other specialized markets with over 90% of our typical yearly volume of work from repeat customers. Our projects include ground up as well as remodel projects. We have developed a particular expertise in complex, multi-faceted new construction as well as remodel projects on occupied job sites.

We are able to successfully deliver projects large and small, complex and simple by effectively – and proactively – managing the entire construction process. We adhere to critical sequencing yet are flexible enough to adjust to unforeseen condition changes.

Teaming with Emerson, you gain a trusted partner who knows how to build a quality project on time and within budget.
