Co-founded by Rudy de Moor and Carl Thompson, Code 3 Construction, LLC was created to provide outstanding quality, craftsmanship, innovative ideas and excellent customer service to its customer base across the great lone star state of Texas and beyond. The company partners with industry specialists to design and build high quality facilities. While specializing in the construction of premium medical facilities, Code 3 Construction also has more than 100 years combined expertise in other commercial light industrial building types, including retail centers, office buildings, and warehouse and storage facilities.
Code 3 Construction has a definite edge when it comes to building emergency rooms, clinics and other medical facilities. “We draw a lot of our competitive advantage from having internal expertise and knowledge of medical facilities,” says Carl Thompson, principal and CEO of the Frisco, Texas-based company. “We are very familiar with the fluidness of how these facilities operate and function for the physicians, staff and patients.” Thompson was working as a project manager on a Code 3 Emergency Room project when de Moor approached him about forming the construction company. Prior to starting Code 3 Construction, Rudy de Moor managed the healthcare provider’s real estate development as well as its general contracting and design teams.
This company is already generating positive word of mouth among potential clients. It quickly earned an “A” rating from the Better Business Bureau. “We are proud of our team,” Thompson says. “Having a strong team helps us gain repeat business and referrals from our clients.”
