Building a Legacy

“My family started this business more than 30 years ago. I’m proud to continue the Pogue legacy and to work with an amazing and talented team to develop new landmarks for future generations to enjoy.”

— Benjamin P. Pogue, President & CEO

The Pogue Legacy

Back in 1979, the Pogue family established Pogue Construction in Sherman, Texas. Over the next several years, our focus expanded from residential construction to commercial markets including medical, higher education, financial, and municipal projects.

But one thing hasn’t changed in all that time—our core belief that people are the true testament to our success. We consider our team members to be an extension of our family and we look forward to them continuing our legacy into the future.
