Integrity in Ownership

About Us

Founded in 2000 in Weatherford, Texas, Imperial Construction began with a simple mission: to build with integrity, serve with excellence, and create lasting value for clients and communities. Led by President and CEO Jeff Jones and founding partners Jon Jones, Holger Kelley, Mark Tucker, and Amy Nolan, Imperial quickly earned a reputation for its commitment to professionalism, transparency, and personalized service.

From our early days as a local general contractor, we’ve grown into a respected leader in the commercial, educational, federal and industrial construction markets across Texas and beyond. Our portfolio includes award-winning K–12 schools, advanced higher education facilities, municipal complexes, industrial expansions, governmental sectors, and modern commercial developments—each project a reflection of our dedication to quality craftsmanship and client satisfaction.

Building the Future Together

For more than 25 years, Imperial Construction has built a reputation founded on integrity, trust, and exceptional results. What began as a commitment to delivering quality construction projects has evolved into a company recognized for strong relationships, innovative solutions, and an unwavering dedication to its clients, employees, and communities.

As Imperial enters its next chapter, we do so with a powerful advantage: we are a 100% employee-owned company through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). This ownership structure reflects our belief that the people who contribute to our success every day should share in the rewards of that success. Employee ownership fosters a culture of accountability, pride, collaboration, and long-term thinking—qualities that directly benefit our clients and project partners.

A Company Owned by Its People

At Imperial, ownership is more than a business structure—it is a mindset. Every employee-owner is personally invested in the success of the company and the projects we deliver. This shared commitment drives us to consistently exceed expectations, strengthen partnerships, and pursue excellence in every aspect of our work.

While our ownership model has evolved, the values that have guided Imperial since its founding remain unchanged. Under the continued leadership of our founding team and experienced executive staff, we remain committed to strategic growth, operational excellence, and creating opportunities for future generations of employee-owners.

Looking Ahead

The future of Imperial is defined by our mission: Elevating People, Projects, Partnerships, and Communities.

As we look toward the next 25 years, our focus extends beyond the buildings we construct. We are committed to developing our people, delivering exceptional projects, strengthening meaningful partnerships, and creating lasting impacts in the communities we serve.

Employee ownership provides a foundation for long-term stability and sustainable growth, ensuring that Imperial remains focused on relationships, quality, and service for decades to come. We are proud of our history, grateful for the trust placed in us by our clients and partners, and energized by the opportunities ahead.

Together, as employee-owners, we are building more than projects—we are building a legacy that will continue to elevate people, projects, partnerships, and communities for generations to come.
