Dallas-based Rogers-O'Brien Construction Co. has merged with Construction Partners Commercial LP, a company with offices in Austin and San Antonio.

The new firm will be known as Rogers-O'Brien and will maintain offices in all three cities. Its headquarters will remain in Dallas.

The merger expands Rogers-O'Brien's operations in the Lone Star State, allowing the firm to compete for more office, industrial, health care, retail, educational and religious projects, as well as some residential construction.

"We see our merger as a positive synergy of talent, expertise and timing," says Preston McAfee, who is president and CEO of Rogers-O'Brien. Going forward, the company will focus on landing new work throughout North, Central and South Texas.

Rogers-O'Brien was founded in 1969 and has built a number of projects for local and national clients. Construction Partners was formed in 2003.
