By fulfilling its mission of putting clients first, Dallas-based CM and general contractor Structure Tone Southwest (STSW) stands second to none for an array of regional building owners and developers—including Abbott, Nokia and Oncor, Texas’s largest provider of electrical transmission and distribution. In all, some 80% of STSW’s work involves repeat business, according to Joseph Cribbin, president of the firm.
With 200 employees and revenue topping $519 million last year—up 28% from 2017—STSW, part of the STO Building Group family of companies, continues to cement new partnerships with clients from its Texas offices in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Austin. Recent repeat clients include Coppell, Texas-based office furniture supplier Vari, which hired STSW to reposition and renovate a 345,550-sq-ft Dallas-area building for purposes of creating and leasing flexible office space. Based on the results, Vari invited STSW to participate in a second similar venture and will continue to partner with the firm on future projects, says Jeff Lamb, Vari president. A key attribute is “Structure Tone’s ability to scale up with needed in-house expertise, be it structural or M/E/P, at the right time, when it’s needed most,” Lamb says.
