Sullivan Contracting Services is a general contractor specializing in the renovation and restoration of commercial facilities. As you will see from our services page, we have years of experience working in on a wide variety of facilities for many noteworthy clients. Above all, Sullivan is an organization that cares deeply for our employees, our clients and our community.
Every decision we make is based on our four core values. These values define who we are, how we do business and why we come to work every day:
After founding Sullivan Contracting Services in 1997, Frank and Kelle Sullivan quickly grew the company from a small two-person operation to a successful General Contractor employing more than 50 skilled craftsmen. The company saw great success while establishing contracts with many large national and international clients. Kelle and Frank ran and operated Sullivan until February 5th of 2013, at which time Trey and Kimberly Pounds took over operations as the new owners. Prior to purchasing Sullivan, Trey spent 15 years with a large national general contractor working on multi-million-dollar projects ranging from airports to hospitals.
Although the company legally changed its name to The Pounds Group, LLC, Trey and Kimberly elected to maintain the Sullivan Contracting Services operating name by registering with the State of Texas as a Doing Business As (DBA) filing. Since the change of ownership, Sullivan has maintained a strong culture based around its core values of Faith, Family, Relationships and Results.
Trey and Kimberly were drawn to the opportunity with Sullivan for many reasons. Sullivan Contracting Services has a well-establish employee base of craftsman. These craftsmen are skilled in many differing trades. Trey and Kimberly were specifically excited about the flexibility and adaptability such a diversely skilled workforce would give the company in the coming years. Trey and Kimberly were also pleased to see Sullivan had well-established relationships with many notable clients. These relationships continue to exist and grow to this day.
Sullivan Contracting Services’ Quality Control Program extends from our shop to every jobsite. For our craftsman, quality control begins every morning when they review their days’ scheduled activities, while loading their tools and materials, and continues with the work as it is put in place. Our Project Managers, Project Superintendents, Leadmen and individual employees take ownership in delivering a quality product. The same high standards are communicated and expected of all of our subcontractors. Sullivan’s subcontractors know we partner with them because they provide a quality product, and a quality product is the only acceptable result.
Sullivan Contracting Services’ belief is that all accidents are preventable by applying proper training, planning, knowledge, and resources to identify and control safety risks. Employees of Sullivan Contracting Services are innovative in offering systems and services that return economic value without compromising the safety of themselves, their co-workers, or our clients. Only through this management philosophy can Sullivan Contracting Services sustain business growth, serve its customers, and effectively benefit the world around us.
To ensure superior safety performance, Sullivan is committed to providing necessary resources and training for effective safety management. We are recognized by our employees, customers, regulators, and the communities in which we work as a company that sincerely cares about safety.
