# Building the Borderplex

> Commercial General Contractor · El Paso, TX & Las Cruces, NM

Operator-led commercial general contractor based in El Paso, Texas. Ground-up builds, tenant improvements, site work, mechanical, roofing, envelope, and insurance reconstruction. We run the cycle from preconstruction through close-out.

## We didn't build ECG to be another name on a bid sheet

We built it because we've watched too many commercial projects get dragged out by poor coordination, finger-pointing between trades, and contractors who manage subs instead of leading projects.

**Operator-led.** Development, paving, HVAC, plumbing, roofing, insurance reconstruction. The people calling the shots on your project have actually worked the trades. They've been on the receiving end of a poorly run job. They know what it costs.

## Single-source, end-to-end

One company accountable from the dirt to the punch list.

### Ground-up builds and tenant improvements without slow handoffs

One estimator carries the project into preconstruction. The same project manager runs it through close-out. We don't toss your job over a wall to a different team every six weeks, so the schedule doesn't reset every time someone new opens the binder. Owners get a single point of accountability from feasibility through final inspection.

### Site work, mechanical, roofing, and envelope under one roof

We self-perform site work, mechanical, roofing, and envelope with our own crews on our own payroll. Concrete and panels are coordinated by the people pouring them. Mechanical and roofing penetrations get sequenced before they become RFIs. The schedule reflects what crews can actually deliver, not what subs promised on a Tuesday call.

### Insurance reconstruction run by people who know the claims process inside and out

Wind, hail, fire, water. We've sat across from adjusters on hundreds of claims and learned what gets paid and what gets denied. We write scope that matches the carrier's estimate, document the way the policy needs it documented, and rebuild without the project stalling on a coverage question. Property managers and operators don't need to translate construction language to insurance language while they're trying to reopen a building.

### Real accountability, not a stack of RFIs and blame

When the slab cracks or the roof leaks, you call us, not three subs. The contract holds the same name from preconstruction through warranty. There's no third-party coordinator standing between the owner and the people who actually built the building. Issues get resolved instead of routed.

## From kickoff to keys

Three phases. One team. The same operator-led crew carrying the work from the first cost model through the punch list, and back the dry year too.

### 01. Preconstruction

Before the first shovel. We sit with the architect and build the cost model with you. Target-value design, constructability review, scope walk, schedule logic, bid-package strategy. The budget is open-book. You read the same line items we do. You're not buying a number; you're buying a plan you can defend to your lender, your board, or yourself.

### 02. Construction

Self-perform first. Our crews pour the slab and run the trades we know first-hand: site work, mechanical, plumbing, roofing. Subcontractors fill in the rest, paid on time, no markup-on-markup games. Weekly OAC. Change orders priced in advance. No RFI runaround. The schedule is something the foreman can defend, not a calendar of wishes.

### 03. Close-out

Done is done. Punch list closes before TCO, not after. Commissioning, warranties, as-built drawings, and operating manuals organized for facilities. We come back the dry year. The job is done when you say it's done, not when the contract says we can leave.

## Service area
