History
Balfour Beatty Construction’s roots date back to 1933, when two regional construction businesses were founded—Frank J. Rooney Construction Company in Miami, Florida, and Eugene Simpson and Company in Washington, DC.
Centex Corporation acquired these, and other regionally-based construction companies through the 1960s and 1970s to form Centex Construction, the commercial building arm of Centex Corporation.
Centex Construction operated through early 2007, when it was acquired by Balfour Beatty, a global leader in engineering and construction. Since then, the United States branch of the construction company has operated as Balfour Beatty Construction.
A brief historical timeline:
Balfour Beatty Construction has embarked on a series of acquisitions including Charter Builders in 2006, R.T. Dooley and SpawMaxwell in 2009, Barnhart and Charter Builders in 2010, and most recently in June 2011, Howard S. Wright.
