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.

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.
Most importantly, we have earned the respect, trust and business of our clients. More than 90 percent of our projects serve repeat clients who complete more than 10 projects with us on average. Above all, Beck sustains long-term client relationships because of our dedication and performance. We respond in real-time when problems arise. We remain focused on safely delivering the owner’s vision and architectural design intent on time and within budget. Our success doing so has earned us a sterling reputation for safety and quality.
Our clients hire us because we consistently meet deadlines and maintain budgets. We follow through. We get the job done right.
Beck is dedicated to creating high-performing buildings that prioritize human health and wellbeing through a holistic approach to sustainable design. These principles are ingrained in our practice from a project’s inception, weaving responsive design into our architectural ethos. Surpassing traditional elements of environmental stewardship, we integrate elements that profoundly shape human experience.
As a member of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), our firm has led some of the first and most extensive LEED projects in many categories, including the Wayne N.

With over 170 LEED Certified projects, Beck holds GBCI’s Proven Provider status, ensuring faster reviews and direct access to LEED reviewers. Our experience and consistent excellence in administering LEED projects has earned recognition from the Green Building Certification Institute.
We provide a comprehensive suite of sustainability consulting services championed by our in-house sustainability team that is supported by over 35 percent of our technical staff that hold LEED® Accredited Professional status. These efforts are led by Natalie Terrill, National Director of Sustainability, who was honored with the LEED Fellow designation recognizing her mastery of LEED and exceptional contributions to advancing green building practices.

Our multi-disciplinary practice allows us to provide comprehensive plans that are strategic and costcertain.
Aligning a master plan with the client’s strategic objectives is our foremost priority. Once those objectives are clearly defined, the Beck team develops a framework that evaluates and proposes a comprehensive vision for existing or future spaces. By analyzing the systems and infrastructure in place, we identify opportunities to maximize operational efficiencies and enable growth in the most fiscally responsible manner. The goal of a master plan is to ensure that our clients possess facilities that not only support their current needs but also enhance their capacity to deliver world-class services and experiences.
More than finishes—our interiors shape experiences, enhance wellbeing, and bring brands to life.
Our Essence. At the heart of our practice, we embrace the art of storytelling, using a narrative to illustrate the journey through tactile, human-scaled spaces. A well-developed interior offers the opportunity for personal connections, creating the backdrops for everyday moments and memories. Our design team believes in efficient and functional space, intuitive wayfinding, and thought-provoking aesthetics that enhance elements of brand immersion, culture, and community.
Our Impact. We are committed to the health, safety, and wellness of the occupants above all else. By prioritizing critical design components including egress, natural light, acoustics, and ergonomics, we are able to enhance user experience and security. We consider the environmental impacts of our selections and how our designs can support physical and emotional wellbeing, regardless of age or ability.
Our Promise. At Beck, we proactively strive for multidisciplinary collaboration, making our interior practice unparalleled when it comes to producing detailed deliverables that protect design intent. Our approach examines holistic solutions for our clients that consider everything from programmatic conceptual ideas to seamless construction actualization. It is our integrated approach that continuously ensures that design excellence remains our focus.
We are committed to advancing our mutual goals of equity and inclusion for our industry, and the communities we serve.
This means hiring, developing, and promoting a diverse workforce while fostering a culture of inclusion. It also means proactively working with minority- and women-owned business enterprises.
We do this because we care. We do this because it allows us to be better innovators and problem-solvers, and to have broader perspectives.
