About Schier Construction

In the beginning, Schier Construction built water tower foundations all over Texas and Louisiana. After several years, Schier decided to diversify the business and concentrate on the Houston area, branching out into the construction of water plants and metal buildings. Now, over 35 years later, Jim and Schier Construction are a leading builder of water plants and elevated water towers throughout the southern United States.
