Michael G. Scheurich’s passion for construction originated with a love of architecture and how buildings

are designed. After growing up in the small town of Beaumont, Texas, he entered the College of

Architecture at Texas A&M University with a vision to become an architect, quickly realizing he wanted

to build. This led him to obtain his bachelor’s degree in construction science from Texas A&M University.

His construction career began in Dallas and continued in Houston, where he served for three of the

nation’s top 20 general contractors. This was the incubation period for Scheurich’s vision to launch his

own construction company.

Scheurich understood that, to achieve this entrepreneurial dream, he needed more than a degree in the

science of how to build. He also needed to understand the science of how to operate a company, so he

obtained a master’s degree in business administration from the University of St. Thomas in Houston.

With an MBA in tow, he established Arch-Con Corporation in 2000 as a resource for the local

commercial real estate community in the areas of office and industrial design-build construction. Today,

the business also operates in the markets of retail, healthcare, corporate interiors, community,

hospitality and multifamily construction. The company has offices in Houston, Dallas, Austin and Denver

with more than 200 employees and an annual revenue of more than $500 million.

Additionally, Scheurich utilizes his design and construction relationships to team with strategic partners

to develop high-quality assets. Arch-Con’s headquarters was developed by Scheurich and constructed by

Arch-Con. He is experienced in leveraging the latest, cost-efficient technologies and strives to stay on

the cutting edge of the industry.

Scheurich serves on the Greater Houston Partnership Board of Directors, the National NAIOP Forum, the

University of St. Thomas Buildings and Grounds Committee, and the Annunciation Orthodox School

Building and Grounds Committee. He recently served on the Wallis State Bank Board of Directors, served

nine years on the Houston NAIOP Board of Directors, and three years on the National NAIOP Board of

Directors. He donates his time and resources to vital organizations including Hermann Park Conservancy,

SEARCH Homeless Services, Bo's Place, St. Anne Catholic Community, Christian Community Services

Center, among others.
