INVEST Interviews Scott + Reid Principal Eric Gilbert

Eric Gilbert, principal of Scott + Reid General Contractors, talked to Invest: Dallas-Fort Worth about the ongoing challenges in the real estate sector due to increased interest rates and capital funding constraints. He discussed how he and the Scott + Reid team are dedicated to delivering tailored solutions, nurturing relationships, and elevating branded environments to foster growth in today’s market. Invest features insights from key leaders about the top trends facing the North Texas Economy.

We have a 30-year history and a reputation for delivering high quality projects for our partners and we expect that to continue. We are investing heavily into our employees, brand, and platform. Scott + Reid will always continue to be privately held with the understanding that our clients are our shareholders. In my opinion you cannot be in our business and be effective if you must answer to a stock price. We always have and always will answer to our clients and pivot and serve as we see necessary to help them be successful. – Eric Gilbert

Eric recently participated as a speaker at the Invest: Dallas conference.

What have been some of the highlights for Scott + Reid over the last year? 

Eric: Over the last 10 years, we have expanded our service lines beyond commercial interiors. We have created a successful New Construction and Pre-Construction Division. We have offices in Houston and Tulsa, Oklahoma that have established themselves as trusted market leaders. This growth has always been part of our corporate plan. As we encounter challenges this year, we are executing on the plan. Our expansion has allowed us to not only be seen as a leader in office interiors, but also expand our presence in healthcare, industrial, retail and mixed-use, banking and finance, and value office.
