Vendor Spotlight: Vaughn Construction

Vaughn Construction was awarded its first contract with Choice Partners in October 2010 and this year marks the 10^th anniversary as a CP vendor. With a motto of Do it Once, Do it Right, Vaughn solidified its relationship with the co-op. As a full-service general contractor, Vaughn Construction offers a wealth of resources to successfully deliver your construction projects. Specializing in projects for higher education and healthcare, Vaughn has served all of the CP membership base using their CP contract. 

Vaughn Construction is a Texas-based, commercial general contractor with more than 1,000 employees in 10 offices across the state. Founded by Joe Vaughn in 1988, the firm was born out of the Vaughn family’s long history and trusted reputation in the construction industry. Today, Vaughn is a second generation, family-owned general contractor and construction management firm. They are one of the largest contractors in Texas, and a leading builder of healthcare, research and higher education facilities throughout the state. Vaughn has a project management team and employs 400 craft construction workers to execute projects efficiently with the high-quality demand from clients. In-house resources allow Vaughn to serve all of a client’s commercial construction projects, no matter the size. 

The company philosophy is based on the key principle of respect, which permeates all levels of their business operations. A core philosophy of Vaughn is to WOW Clients. A hands-on approach and attention to detail on every project, no matter how large or small, ensures consistent, successful results for clients who appreciate how Vaughn brings solutions to construction challenges. They figure out ways to deliver the project on time and in budget. 

“This was a fast-tracked project, having to be completed during the summer break,” said Joujou Zebdaoui, University of Houston director for campus construction services. “All work was completed and the fountains were in full operation two weeks early for our original completion date."

With a strong working relationship, Vaughn has forged alliances with several large universities in Texas. The $2.2 million renovation of an existing Air Force barracks at Texas A&M University’s RELLIS Campus required relocating the existing building users, completely gutting the building and removing the roof and facade to build back the building interior. The existing wood truss and frame system were left exposed to emphasize the unique, historic features of the facility. 

The University of North Texas Health Science Center Job Order Contract (JOC) project included renovating an existing building into a modern office suite to deliver health services to the university’s student body. 

A great benefit to Vaughn, the CP contract already includes a completed procurement process allowing for an immediate response to clients’ construction needs without delay. One of Vaughn’s core values is a sense of urgency. 

“Our clients have come to rely on us as problem solvers and trusted advisors. If they’re having an issue and need immediate resolution, they can count on us to service them quickly and efficiently. The CP contract helps us to do that, which in turn helps us maintain our 95% client retention rate,” said Rodney Moore, Vaughn construction director.
