D.L. Bandy Constructors, Inc.

David Bandy founded Bandy Constructors on a shoestring in 1989, and has built one of the most respected teams in Central and South Texas.

With a $2,500 deposit and a vision of creating a more client friendly construction company, David Bandy founded Bandy Constructors in 1989. Since then, he has built one of the most respected teams in Central and South Texas. As the company’s president, David still takes an active role in the success of every project. He directs the activities of Bandy’s management team and is always available to address the most pressing needs of the clients.

Before taking on Bandy Constructors’ inaugural project – a residential kitchen expansion in Austin – David worked on more than $67 million in public and institutional projects as a project engineer, project superintendent, and project manager for Warrior Construction from 1983 to 1989. During his time with Warrior, David served clients such as the State of Texas, Texas State University (formerly Southwest Texas State University), and the University of Texas at Austin. His projects included the State Capitol Senate Renovations after the fire in 1983, the William B. Travis State Office Building, Harris Dining Hall and Blanco Dormitory at Texas State, and renovations to the Economics and E.P. Schoch Buildings on the University of Texas at Austin campus.

He has been active in Rotary Youth Exchange in central Texas and enjoys bow hunting, fishing, and woodworking.

Robert began his tenure at Bandy as a project superintendent, and since then he has risen through the ranks to his current position as Executive Vice-President. In this capacity, Robert oversees all projects and project management teams. In his tenure with the company, he has been directly responsible for projects totaling more than $100 million, including individual projects valued at over $20 million.

Prior to joining Bandy in 2006, Robert worked for five years as an assistant superintendent and field engineer for Kunz Construction in San Antonio. He attended Texas State University in San Marcos, and holds numerous certifications related to construction methods and jobsite safety.

With responsibility for the company’s human resources, benefits, accounting, and safety functions, Senior Vice President Tom Brooks keeps the operation running smoothly.
