History

The Beck Group was founded in 1912 by Henry C. Beck[5] in Houston, Texas as a general contractor[1] and moved its headquarters to Dallas in 1924,[1] a requirement for building the city's Cotton Exchange Building.[2]

In the 1990s the construction company began adding other services, such as design and real estate development. It also acquired a UK-developed software product (Reflex) and began to develop a proprietary software, DESTINI, which would provide immediate costs for buildings as they were modeled in the schematic design phase.[6][7]

In 1999, under the leadership of then-CEO (present Executive Chairman) Henry C. Beck III, the company merged with Urban Architecture, a regional design firm.[7]
