We build more than buildings.
We build relationships.

Family-owned and led since its founding in 1914, W. S. Bellows Construction Corporation has helped shape the heart of Houston’s skyline. More impressive than the prestige of our portfolio are the successful relationships that Bellows has built by delivering the highest quality work with steadfast commitment to safety and integrity. We are a full-service general contractor dedicated to being responsive to the individual needs of our clients and delivering their projects to their complete satisfaction. We don’t just coordinate subs – we know how to build, can self-perform, and offer the latest in building techniques and innovative technology. At Bellows, we are determined to earn, and keep, our clients’ respect and trust.

We foster a diverse

Differences, uniqueness, and open-mindedness facilitates enhanced ideas, collaboration, and cooperation. Inclusivity shows people they are valued, appreciated, and they matter. It’s part of Bellows Construction’s mission to uphold this type of culture in our offices, on our jobsites, and with our clients.

Bellows is majority woman-owned and led by Laura Bellows, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. We are a certified Women’s Business Enterprise Alliance, Equal Opportunity employer who recognizes our diversity is a strength. Our differences allow us to learn from each other and elevate the way we think and work.
