ABOUT US
BUILDING TEXAS SINCE 1963
Lochridge-Priest is a family-owned commercial MEP contractor headquartered in Waco, Texas. We build, upgrade, and service the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems in commercial buildings.
A FAMILY COMPANY THAT GREW UP ON JOB SITES.
Lochridge-Priest was founded in Waco in 1963 and is still family-owned. What started as a local operation is now a full-scale commercial contractor and service provider. We’ve been the ones under pressure on tight schedules, crowded ceilings, and fixed budgets for more than 60 years, so we know what it takes to keep a project, and a building, on track.
OUR HISTORY
A LEGACY BUILT TO LAST.
ONE COMPANY, THE WHOLE LIFE OF A BUILDING
WE BUILD IT. WE UPGRADE IT. WE KEEP IT RUNNING.
Most contractors hand you the keys and disappear. We stay. Our construction, special projects, and service teams share one name, so the people who know how your building was put together are the same people who respond when you call.
HOW WE WORK
SIX THINGS WE HOLD OURSELVES TO.
More than 60 years of experience doesn’t mean doing things the same way forever. We take care of people, do what we say, and keep finding better ways to get the job done.
LEAD WITH EXCELLENCE
We lead by example. We set the standard, model professionalism, and put safety first. We get it right the first time, inspect as we go, and own every outcome.
PASSION FOR OUR CRAFT
Our name is on every job, so we build like it. We sweat the details, never stop honing our skills, and pass the torch to the next generation.
INNOVATE FOR TOMORROW
Best idea wins. We pioneer what’s next and build smarter, safer systems. Technical superiority is our edge, and we sharpen it every day.
MAKE A DIFFERENCE
We leave a mark that lasts on our people, our clients, and our community. We create impact and have influence with purpose.
EXECUTE WITH ACCOUNTABILITY
We plan our work and work our plan. We meet challenges with solutions, take ownership of our actions, and follow through on every commitment we make.
POWERED BY OUR PEOPLE
People are our engine. Our relationships are our foundation. We empower each other to succeed, get better together, celebrate the wins, and enjoy the ride with people we’re proud to work beside.
