About Us
What Sets Us Apart
Firm History
IE² was formed in 2009 at the bottom of the Great Recession. While this was certainly a challenging time to start a new construction business, we opened our doors as a result of our previous employer becoming insolvent and strong client demand to continue working with our individual team members. We stayed lean during the start-up years resulting in solid successes despite the economic climate which allowed us to build a solid financial foundation to expand from once the economy recovered. The shareholders have a unique ability to understand client needs and consistently delivery above expectations.

The shareholders have a unique ability to understand client needs and consistently delivery above expectations.
This customer service combined with the financial lessons learned during the Great Recession has ensured our continued success and positioned the company for further growth in the future.
From day one, we have shared a deep sense of purpose and commitment to our clients and their unique visions. Once we discussed the idea of starting a new firm, we decided that central to our work would be to deliver true principal attention and hands-on dedication of a small firm to every client we work with. We are nothing without trust and integrity and those earnest values are at the core of every decision we make. Building a long-lasting relationship with our customers and subcontractors is fundamental to our success, and we strongly believe it is the only way to genuinely run a successful business with a meaningful purpose.
The values, heart and character that fueled our beginnings have defined our company’s culture and are the same values our team exemplifies today. These qualities have been the defining factors that have allowed us to innovate and evolve with the industry. Our client base has grown to encompass a diverse range of building sectors that includes Healthcare, Commercial Ground-up, Multi-Family, Corporate Interiors and the Austinpolitan division which consists of Restaurants, Breweries, High-End finishes, and Hospitality projects.
We’ve built a team of dedicated project managers, superintendents, estimators, and support personnel that share our partnership-based approach and commitment to quality delivery. This collaborative process enables us to provide cohesiveness throughout the project and consistently exceed our client’s vision and objectives. Our dedication to maintaining strong relationships; growing capable, reliable teams; ensuring proactive safety and quality programs; displaying unwavering integrity; and managing scale, volume and capability have helped forge our reputation and build our legacy.

Client Testimonials
I wanted to take a minute to share our gratitude for the hard work, dedication, and sacrifice your team displayed during the delivery of our project. Everyone knew the challenge awaiting during the life cycle of this project, and they hit it full force. As soon as the project kicked off the team created a wave of momentum that was unwavering for the duration. As obstacles presented themselves there was no hesitation in working a solution and moving forward. It is rare to find individuals willing to take on difficult challenges and sacrifice whatever it takes to win. Your team, your firm, and you have displayed this time and time again. We will be forever grateful for the sacrifices your team made so we could meet our deadline.”
-Tecovas
IE²’s project team were the consummate professionals in their respective roles, making sure the completed data center was delivered as designed, within the established budget and schedule, in spite of additional unforeseen challenges. It is my personal and professional opinion that IE² is one of the best project construction teams I have ever had the pleasure to work with in my 30+ years of project management.”
-Confidential Data Center
I would like to sincerely thank IE² for their outstanding work on multiple projects completed at LSCC over the past three years. The entire IE² team operates with the utmost honesty, integrity, and transparency- all which helps instill owner confidence and maintain positive momentum from project start through completion. No matter the size of scope, IE² has provided extremely competitive and transparent pricing along with realistic and achievable scheduling. It is rare to find a contractor as prepared and proficient throughout all aspects of their business.”
-Lone Star Circle of Care
Thank you IE² for the outstanding job you did on the expansion of our clinic. You all exemplify and truly live up to your core values, evidence by the respect and attention to customer service to not just us, but our patients and other tenants in the building. Your team made a difficult expansion (three phases while still being open for our patients) seem effortless and cohesive.“
-Texas Oncology
Despite many unforeseen utility issues, the IE² team pressed hard to hit an aggressive schedule. They even kept the project to the original budget, taking our design changes in stride. I have been recommending your team for other projects and look forward to working with y’all again soon!”
-Michael Hsu Office of Architecture, Austin Beerworks
IE² demonstrated a professional and ethical approach to the project and the team assembled for our project were true professionals. IE² was consistent when it came to the project schedule as well as the budget. Our project was completed in the expected timeline and was completed on budget. Safety was highly regarded in the project at all times and extra care was taken in ensuring our staff and church member and visitors had a safe place to attend church while the project was being worked on.”
-Austin Ridge Bible Church
During my involvement with IE² I can truthfully say that my experience was not only positive, it was flawless. IE² has set the benchmark that I will now compare any General Contractor’s services against. IE² repeatedly proved their commitment to me as their customer. Their impeccable performance and ability to deliver on their promises was critical to the success of our projects.“
-Arise Healthcare
I am really impressed with the IE² team on Cookbook Cafe. In particular, the positive attitudes and pro-active helpfulness that the team has displayed to date is very refreshing. It is rare that I feel that the contractor and I are on the same team and it feels that way with you guys so far. Construction is not an easy endeavor but with this team it is a lot smoother, enjoyable and more fun!”
-Cookbook Café
I have had the privilege of working with IE² on five construction projects over the last year and highly recommend them. At Westlake Dermatology, we pride ourselves in our facilities and its resort like ambiance. As such, we spend a lot of time and resources on design, and our architects come up with some amazing designs but full of complicated details. Many times, these details are difficult for commercial contractors to execute and we have gone through many contractors prior to finding IE². Your team does an amazing job of turning our vision into a reality. The Organization’s attention to detail and commitment to schedule make them an exceptionally capable team.”
-Westlake Dermatology
We are very satisfied with the finished product your company provided. Everything was done with quality and care. The end result has reinvigorated us and provided a morale boost. It is nice to see a talented group of individuals take pride in their work. Dealing with a team like yours makes a challenging process considerably easier.”
-New York Life
This particular project had several stakeholders, including the operations team with the Salvation Army and the residents of the facility that lived on site, during construction. The team worked diligently to keep communications between all parties working and assisted with site and safety issues. The team was professional, creative, courteous and communicative. They handled all issues in a timely and efficient manner.”
-City of Austin Women and Children’s Shelter
I can honestly say that IE² has done an excellent job as the General Contractor on our project. Their greatest asset has been their availability and willingness to assist us with any issue whether it is design, budget, or just walking us through specific proposals for our approval.“
