Scott + Reid CEO and Co-Founder Chris Scott was recently featured in D CEO‘s Conversation With series, sharing insights on leadership, the evolution of the commercial construction industry, and the principles that have helped Scott + Reid become a trusted commercial general contractor in Dallas.
“Dallas‑Fort Worth and Houston are among the fastest-growing metros in the country. More businesses are moving here, more offices are being built, and communities are expanding. We are at the forefront of that growth, creating the spaces where people live, work, and thrive.”
Since co-founding Scott + Reid in 1992, Chris has helped grow the company into one of the largest privately owned commercial general contractors in the region, delivering more than 6,000 projects across corporate interiors, tenant improvements, healthcare, education, retail, hospitality, financial institutions, and ground-up construction. Today, Scott + Reid partners with clients to deliver high-quality spaces while building long-term relationships through exceptional service and execution.
One perspective from the interview reflects the company’s long-term commitment to the Dallas market:
“We did not arrive for the boom. We have grown alongside Dallas. It is meaningful to drive through the city and see how the skyline, the neighborhoods, and the infrastructure have evolved over time, knowing we played a small role in that story.”Chris also shared a philosophy that continues to shape Scott + Reid’s approach today:
“We don’t chase jobs, we chase clients.”
Those ideas reflect what has defined Scott + Reid for more than three decades: building lasting partnerships, earning repeat business through trust and performance, and helping shape the communities where clients live, work, and grow.
