Design-Build Contractor in Fort Worth, TX
Brothers B&B Contracting Inc.
One Team for Design, Permitting, and Construction
Most commercial headaches in Fort Worth don’t start on the job site. They start in the gap between the people who drew the plans and the people who have to build them. Brothers B&B closes that gap. We design, permit, and build under one contract, so there’s no finger-pointing between architect and contractor when a detail doesn’t work in the field — because it’s the same team on both sides of the line.
We’ve built in Fort Worth since 1993. Owners Ted Wilson and Jason McCord, both Ziglar Legacy Certified, still bid and manage the work themselves, which is why our clients tend to stay clients for a decade or more.

One Contract, One Point of Accountability
With the traditional design-bid-build path, you hire a designer, take their drawings out to bid, and hope the low number holds once construction reality sets in. When it doesn’t, you’re the referee between two companies who each blame the other. Design-build puts design and construction under one roof: one point of contact, one schedule, and one team that priced the job knowing exactly how it would be built.
In Fort Worth’s tighter permitting corridors, that single line of accountability is often the difference between opening on time and eating three months of rent.
We Know How Fort Worth Actually Gets Built
Fort Worth is not one market — it’s a dozen. A build-out on West 7th in the Cultural District carries different design-review and parking expectations than an office fit-out in Alliance and North Fort Worth, or a medical suite near the JPS and Cook Children’s campuses in the Medical District. Near Southside has its own historic-district sensibilities; Downtown and Sundance Square have their own. We design to the corridor and the review board that governs it, not to a generic set of Fort Worth code assumptions.
Because we handle permitting in-house, we’re the ones sitting across from the City of Fort Worth’s plan reviewers — not a designer who hands you a set and disappears. We’re a fully insured Texas general contractor, carrying general liability and workers’ compensation, and we design around the submittals that get flagged here before they cost you a resubmittal cycle.

Fort Worth Projects We've Actually Delivered
We’d rather show you real Fort Worth addresses than stock-photo case studies:
- 5555 Beach, Fort Worth — a commercial project owned by CCI. A real, standing Fort Worth build, not a rendering.
- The Taste Project — 1200 S. Main Street, Fort Worth — a nonprofit, pay-what-you-can restaurant led by Chef Jeff Williams, the 2017 James Beard Foundation Humanitarian of the Year. Exactly the kind of build-out where design and construction have to move as one team.
- Tile renovation, Benbrook — targeted interior work in the Fort Worth suburbs when the scope is a renovation, not a full build.

The Value of Having One Team Overseeing the Project
One of the most common frustrations property owners experience is coordinating multiple parties, each with different responsibilities.
- Questions get passed around.
- Decisions take longer than they should.
- Budgets become harder to track.
When design and construction operate as a single team, communication becomes significantly more efficient.
Instead of wondering who is responsible for a particular issue, clients work directly with a dedicated project team that oversees the process from beginning to end.
For many commercial owners, that accountability is one of the biggest advantages of design-build construction.

Our Approach to Design-Build Construction
Every project starts with understanding what success looks like for the client.
Some businesses are focused on opening quickly.
Others are focused on minimizing operational interruptions.
Some need long-term flexibility for future growth.
The planning process begins by identifying priorities and developing a strategy to support them.
Once project goals are established, we coordinate with design professionals, consultants, vendors, and subcontractors to create a practical construction plan.
Throughout the process, budgeting, scheduling, and construction planning remain connected rather than operating independently.
This allows decisions to be evaluated based on both design intent and real-world construction requirements.
Why Businesses Choose Brothers B & B
Construction experience matters, but so does communication. Over 30+ years, Brothers B&B has built its business on repeat clients and referrals rather than the lowest bid. What that looks like on your project:

- Founded 1993 · 30+ years in DFW commercial construction
- Owner-managed — every job bid and run by Ted Wilson or Jason McCord (both Ziglar Legacy Certified)
- Largest project to date: $4M+

Frequently Asked Questions
How long has Brothers B & B worked in Fort Worth?
Since 1993. Owners Ted Wilson and Jason McCord have run commercial work across Fort Worth, Dallas, and Arlington for more than 30 years.
Is Brothers B & B licensed and insured?
Yes — we’re fully insured, carrying general liability and workers’ compensation coverage. We can provide a certificate of insurance for your project.
What's the difference between design-build and hiring an architect and a contractor separately?
In design-build you sign one contract for both design and construction. There’s a single point of accountability, one schedule, and no gap for the designer and builder to blame each other in — which usually means fewer surprises once the work is priced, because the people who built the estimate are the people who build the project.
Do you handle Fort Worth permitting yourselves?
Yes. Permitting is part of our scope, not something we hand back to you. We prepare and submit to the City of Fort Worth and manage plan-review comments through approval.
Can you renovate a Fort Worth facility while it stays operational?
Often, yes. Design-build lets us phase the work so operations keep running while we build — we sequence around your hours and the areas you need to stay open.
Do you help with commercial facility expansions in Fort Worth?
Yes. Many Fort Worth clients choose to expand an existing facility rather than relocate. Design-build makes that cleaner because one team handles the design, the permitting, and the tie-in to what’s already there.
What size projects do you take on?
Everything from targeted renovations to multimillion-dollar builds — our largest to date is over $4M. If it’s commercial and in the DFW area, it’s in our lane.
What kinds of Fort Worth projects have you delivered?
Recent Fort Worth work includes 5555 Beach (owned by CCI), the Taste Project restaurant at 1200 S. Main Street (Chef Jeff Williams, 2017 James Beard Humanitarian of the Year), and a tile renovation in Benbrook.
