We create teams across all departments and areas of expertise to work on a common goal – your project
Rooted in the Southeast, we serve clients across the U.S. and Mexico — spanning markets from Seattle to Michigan, Florida to Guadalajara.
We’ve evolved from a small contracting company in Houston, Texas, to an internationally acclaimed design, architecture, and construction powerhouse
Founded in 1912, The Beck Group is a collaborative team of designers and builders offering planning, architecture, interior design, construction, and sustainability consulting services.
From the first meeting, you will notice Beck’s unique approach to architecture and construction. We create teams across all departments and areas of expertise to work on a common goal— your project. We believe working together results in a better process and outcome.
We build long-term relationships with our clients and bring quality, value and integrity to each project we touch.
Beck’s approach to experiential design
Design must do more than function, it must spark emotion, elevate experience, and endure. Our architecture performs with purpose: flexible enough to adapt, refined enough to delight, and resilient enough to last. We build what we believe in, and we believe that iconic design and operational excellence are inseparable.
At The Beck Group, we don’t treat cost, constructability, or performance as afterthoughts. They’re active ingredients from day one. Our integrated model aligns design intent with real-world delivery, ensuring that every bold move on paper is buildable, brand-aligned, and on budget. This mindset is essential for delivering high-performance environments that balance guest experience with operational success.
We adapt the five pillars of Design Thinking: Empathy. Define. Ideate. Prototype. Test This process is agile, iterative, and grounded in reality.
We resist premature convergence. Instead, we work in sets, exploring multiple options, evaluating them through constructability, cost, and performance lenses. This is how we make decisions at the Last Responsible Moment, when we know more, not less.
At Beck, we redefine the traditional design-build model. Our fully integrated approach brings designers, preconstruction experts, and builders together from day one, ensuring seamless collaboration and real-time insights at every phase of the project.
By working as one cohesive team, we ensure our designs are visionary and supported by accurate cost, coordination, and constructability. With everyone aligned on project goals, we deliver designs backed by budgets, schedules, market trends, and historical data—empowering clients to make informed decisions.
This early collaboration leads to smarter, more cost-effective designs and a smoother, faster path to completion—free from the disconnects that often plague traditional processes.
At Beck, we don’t just build; we create with precision, innovation, and a shared vision for success.

Rebuilt after the 2017 earthquake, the campus empowers students with resilient, sustainable spaces that inspire innovation and growth.
After the devastating 2017 earthquake, Beck partnered with Tecnológico de Monterrey to design and build a resilient, sustainable, and urban-focused campus that reopened in 2021. The project included three five-story buildings—a library, an academic building, and a college preparatory building—crafted to support flexible and collaborative learning environments.
Key design and construction features include elevated structures to prevent flood damage, unitized curtain-wall systems for seismic stability and energy efficiency, and green landscaping to mitigate flooding. Beck also reimagined the campus’ exterior, replacing walls with plazas and parks to strengthen connections with the surrounding community.
Sustainability was central to the effort, incorporating natural ventilation, improved energy performance, and strategies to reduce the campus’ carbon footprint. The result is a safe, adaptable, and vibrant environment for students, faculty, and the local neighborhood.

Building the future of construction, one skilled leader at a time.
COPPELL, TEXAS
Beck was the design lead for the Construction Sciences Building at Dallas College’s North Lake campus, completed in 2021 as a centerpiece of the college’s $1.1 billion bond program. This 97,000-square-foot, LEED Silver-certified facility was thoughtfully designed to meet growing workforce demands in construction, combining high-tech classrooms with adjacent labs for hands-on learning.
Outdoor lab spaces provide real-world training opportunities for equipment use, mockups, and installations under varying conditions. The building supports programs offering 16 certificates, continuing education, and associate degrees in fields like Construction Management and Commercial Electrical Technology while also serving Dallas ISD Wilmer-Hutchins E-TECH students seeking market-ready skills and industry connections.

A modern administrative hub designed to foster collaboration, transparency, and efficiency across the UTA campus.
ARLINGTON, TEXAS
The UTA Trinity House was originally constructed as a residence hall in 1963. Due to the current condition of the building, Beck’s analysis of multiple design scenarios showed that a newer facility would be achievable financially, along with a better investment for the campus.
Thereafter, a new 52,000 SF building was constructed as office space for several administrative support departments. The new facility provides offices, open work areas, a multipurpose room, large and medium-sized conference rooms, and two Media Production rooms. The building provides an open, large volume space with high ceilings. Construction is in compliance with all applicable building, energy, fire, and life safety codes as well as Texas Accessibility Standards / Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.

SMU’s Residential Commons integrates academics, residence life, and social experiences, fostering a strong sense of belonging.
DALLAS, TEXAS
The Residential Commons at Southern Methodist University sets a new standard for student housing, combining academics and residential life to foster community and engagement. Built by Beck, the 433,000-square-foot complex includes five 250-bed residence halls, a 505-seat dining commons, and an 800-car parking garage.

We believe spaces should reflect the quality, style and identity of the owners and occupants. We are known for responding to our client’s needs. We take care to consider the context of place and purpose. Whatever the project, design excellence remains our focus.
Preconstruction is more than cost-estimating to its early engagement for a cost-certain future.
Thanks to evolution in the industry over the last 20 years, owners can engage preconstruction teams much earlier in the design process. We are passionate about offering enhanced preconstruction services because we know the 10x return on investment that additional planning provides during project construction.
Beck preconstruction and construction team members engage in the process to assist the team in establishing an accurate overall project budget and advise on constructibility issues to eliminate impacts to cost and schedule. This allows a greater degree of accurate cost information earlier in the process and affords the opportunity for the team to explore more options and achieve a higher level of design within the established budget.
With innovative technology at the core, we value the foundations of time tested estimating practices, but seek continuous improvement by embracing new technology and more collaborative processes.
Our proprietary Business Intelligence Platform provides a host of preconstruction analytics and insights including historical project cost data and a variety of others to help our teams make informed, data-based decisions.
We leverage leading—edge tools like DESTINI Estimator and AI-supported applications into our daily production environment.
With Integrated Estimating, we have continued building on our legacy as multi-disciplinary, technically savvy pioneers with the next generation in model-based estimating and parametric-based cost estimating workflows.
Beck has spent a century refining our construction and safety practices. Over the years, we have earned more than 500 construction, design, sustainability, and organization awards. We have set records and shaped city skylines nationwide including the iconic Fountain Place in Dallas, designed by renowned architect I.M. Pei, and Atlantic Center designed by Phillip Johnson.
