Join us in embracing the spirit of unity as we commemorate

This holiday is an opportunity to reflect on the progress made in American society through the pursuit of liberty and justice for all. On behalf of Austin's 7,000+ employee-owners, happy Freedom Day!

Why are weekly safety meetings important?

Austin and KDC Real Estate Development & Investments’ commitment to continual improvement and hazard mitigation has resulted in 400+ days with no lost time incidents at the Wells Fargo jobsite. Safety is our top priority, and these meetings ensure we keep it that way.

For the fifth consecutive year, Austin is the only firm ranked among the top 10 regional contractors by the Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, and Houston Business Journals.

Thank you to our 7,000+ employee-owners for making Austin's continued success in the Lone Star state possible.

As we commemorate Memorial Day, let's pause to reflect on the great sacrifice and bravery of all those who gave their lives in defense of the United States.

We thank them for their service and remain forever grateful for their courage and selflessness.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we're reminded that 1 in 5 construction workers face mental health challenges.

At Austin, safety is our No. 1 core value, and that includes mental health. Together, we can safeguard the well-being of workers both on and off the jobsite.
