George W. Mitchell founded the company in 1921 as G.W. Mitchell, General Contractor. His earliest projects were residences for many notable San Antonio families. The firm began building commercially during WWII. After the war, the second generation of Mitchells joined the firm, George Jr., Bob and Melvin.
Today, a third generation carries on the tradition of integrity and quality construction with Melvin still serving as Chairman of the Board, Bill Mitchell as President, Lane Mitchell as Vice President, and Andy Mitchell as C.F.O. Throughout the past 91 years, G.W. Mitchell Construction has shaped the landscape of San Antonio and south Texas as one of the region’s premier building contractors. With four members of the Mitchell family at the helm and a team of experienced employees, the company continues to thrive through long-term investment in the community and long-standing relationships with clients, architects, engineers, and subcontractors. Over the years the Mitchell Team has found that the key to their success lies in the quality, value, integrity and momentum they put forth in every job. The company places a strong emphasis on building a solid working relationship with the client that is founded on trust and fostered by communication. Accordingly, the first step on any Mitchell project is to work with the client to clearly identify the requirements and then establish these both as project goals and as a measurement of success throughout the construction process. Through such preconstruction services as budget pricing, constructability analysis, and value engineering, G.W. Mitchell delivers the highest quality product while ensuring the most economical use of construction dollars. With over 90 years of building in San Antonio, Mitchell offers clients a legacy of construction knowledge and the benefit of its strong standing in the construction industry. As the project enters the construction phase, the G.W. Mitchell team maintains the momentum of the project by coordinating closely with the clients, designers and subcontractors using a collaborative approach. This infrastructure allows Mitchell to resolve any issues quickly and accurately, which helps keep construction on schedule and in budget. G.W. Mitchell’s dedication to quality construction does not end with the completion of the project. Clients know they can call on Mitchell any time with questions or concerns that may arise after the building is in use. Mitchell remains focused on the client’s needs and ensure that their new facility fully supports their operations. Responsiveness from start to finish and beyond completion has always been the priority of the company. As G.W. Mitchell’s strong history would attest, their expertise and dedication to quality in all phases of construction have made them the contractor of choice for many clients and design professionals over the years. |
