OUR STORY Legacy - Commitment - Transformation
Transforming Texas Joeris General Contractors, Ltd. was originally founded as Joeris & Clauss Company in 1967. Leo Joeris and Raymond Claus started the business with a commitment to meeting the obligations of their mentor who had died in a plane crash. They wanted his legacy to be one of integrity and the best way to ensure that was to complete the projects he had begun. And so was born a construction company founded on the principles of integrity, trust, commitment and patnership. Since that time, Joeris has evolved and grown, but we have never wavered from our roots. Today, we approach each client and each project with a commitment to creating a powerful partnership. One that honors the needs of our client while allowing Joeris to lean into our mission of ‘transforming people and places’ across Texas. Through this mission we are able to honor Leo’s legacy while impacting the future of communities where we live, work and build. Our current bonding capacity of $700,000,000 allows us to construct
large, single or multi-phased projects. We have been bonded by the same company for our entire 54+ year history.
Our Commitment As astute business people, we know that our eagerness to respond must be matched by the professional and technical ability to do so. The professionalism of our staff is unmatched. Each team knows that every successful project begins with our willingness to listen to you and address your priorities. Doing this has helped us earn a position as one of the major commercial general contracting firms in Texas. We nurture sound, honest relationships not only with our own staff of some 500 employees, but with all of our partners throughout the building process. The strength of these relationships assures you that when we make a commitment on a project, our entire team will work as hard as we do personally to honor that commitment. This approach has gained us outstanding success in completing projects under budget and ahead of schedule.
FOUNDING
principles
FIRST BUILD TRUST
When Leo Joeris started this general contracting company in 1967, he laid its foundation with one simple principle: first build trust. He understood that everything else we build depends on trust. Trust in the fairness and integrity of our dealings with owners, architects, subcontractors and employees. Trust in the technical knowledge and skill we bring to each project.
OUR CULTURE Values Based, Values Led
After half a century of building and growing into all parts of Texas, that foundation has never cracked. For many years, Joeris was led by the Joeris Way. It wasn’t a list of work rules or even a code of conduct. It’s something inside each employee, their work ethic and personal belief that doing a good job is the minimum standard. When Leo Joeris established this company, he didn’t start ‘The Joeris Way.’ He inspired it. Leo inspired it by believing in the people
who worked for him, hard work, a quality product and by always putting his employees and their families first. But best of all, Leo inspired Gary, his son. Gary now continues the legacy his father gave him. In 2019, led by Gary Joeris and President, Ken Fuller, Joeris sought to re-capture the spirit and teachings of our founder and to start a new Joeris Journey, an effort that highlights our values-based leadership culture resulting in transformation across our company and in every project and community we touch. Built on the spirit, meaning, message and execution of the Joeris Way, the newly refined Joeris Journey includes our updated Values & Mission statements:
Safety
Integrity
Leadership
Excellence
Uncompromised dedication to family first

EXECUTIVE
Leadership
Principles don’t build construction projects. It takes people with specialized skills – working as a team. But there were very pragmatic reasons why Leo Joeris made integrity, trust and commitment the foundation of this company, why his son Gary has built on it, and why the employee owners of Joeris continue to expand that foundation into every project. GARY L. JOERIS Chief Executive Officer
Trust keeps people happy in every part of our company. Commitment assures both veteran employees and newcomers that their contributions are valued. Integrity keeps our trade partners eager to work with us. This foundation keeps our clients coming back, project after project.

Because in our hearts, we know we are here to transform people and places. That is our purpose.

THE JOERIS
Difference
Joeris is a different kind of contractor. And our differences have proven very good for business.
We are a family business. But for us, being family doesn’t require having the same last name. So while Leo Joeris started the firm, and Gary Joeris has ably led it, we have a much-loved group of “old timers” and a growing number of actual employee owners who maintain our founding principles and our reputation.
We are déjà vu. Positive experiences, decade after decade, bring clients back. In fact, the vast majority of our business is with repeat clients – and often as their preferred builder or advisor through all stages of construction, but even more importantly as their friends.
We are distinguished. We’re distinguished. We are well recognized not just for outstanding construction, but as importantly for our safe practices, commitment to the environment and other community initiatives. We have an award winning safety program and staff, and are proud beyond belief of our employees’ commitment to our #1 core value of safety. We build in the communities where we live and have been given the green builder of the year award multiple times. The best places to work award has been bestowed on us more than a dozen years in a row, and we strive to continue to provide for those that provide to us.
We are down to earth. For all our experience and sophistication of our skills and tools, we like keeping communication simple, honest and straightforward. Trust us. Among general contractors, that’s different.
