In 1995, a vision was born that would forever change the landscape of the construction and industrial services industry in the Gulf Coast. That vision was Bayou City Industrial (BCI), founded by Jeff and Nancy Bearden to address a gap in the market for mid- sized projects that required both specialized expertise and a hands-on, self-performing approach. Nearly three decades later, BCI is a powerhouse in the industry, known for its technical versatility, dedication to safety, and long-standing client relationships. As Aaron Shermer, President of BCI, explains, the company's founding was all about "meeting the market where it had needs." At the time, there weren’t many companies capable of handling projects in the $100,000 to $20 million range—a niche that BCI filled. This focus gave them an edge, allowing them to handle every scope of work for our customers from civil construction to electrical and instrumentation installation. "Our ability to self-perform multiple crafts is one of the main things that sets us apart," says Shermer. BCI’s broad range of services includes site clearing, structural steel fabrication, pipe fabrication, and much more, all performed by their own employees. "When we GC the work, we GC all of it," Shermer adds, highlighting the company’s ability to execute entire projects without needing multiple contractors.
