O. Preston Smith
Chief Executive Officer
Chief Executive Officer
Preston Smith has over 16 years of experience in the fields of construction, development and real estate. As Chief Executive Officer, Preston performs duties associated with marketing, estimating, purchasing, contract negotiations, client relations and general corporate responsibilities. His service to our clients begins with gaining an in-depth understanding of their goals first and foremost. Once we have an accurate idea as to the aim of the client, Preston sets forth to build construction estimates, comprehensive budgets and detailed scopes of work in order to create a well rounded, complete and accurate financial picture that will serve the best interests of the client.
Once the project progresses to the point of executing subcontracts to perform various scopes of work, careful and thorough analysis is required to examine interrelated building systems in order to produce the finished product. Preston creates the contracts which define the subcontractor's and supplier's scope of work. This process demands detailed scrutiny of all aspects of the project coupled with an in-depth understanding of construction law and contract language in order to provide seamless execution of your project.
For the past seven years, Preston has been involved with the North Texas Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors. Additionally, Preston was appointed by the Fort Worth City Council as a committee member for the Citizens Committee for the Future of Fort Worth, which studied the viability of a city owned convention center hotel. Preston also twice served as Director of the Park Glen Neighborhood Association, is a member of the University of Texas at Arlington Alumni Association, and serves as a life member in The Gideons International.
