“ Norrell has been around since the late 1950s , initially established as a family-owned business operating in southern Brazoria County and along the Texas Gulf Coast . Founded by Farrell and Pauline Norrell , the company was eventually passed down to their children , who later sold it to us , the current owners , in 2015 . At that time , the business transitioned from primarily doing industrial and commercial work to becoming a fully-fledged industrial building contractor . Upon acquiring Norrell , we expanded its lines of business through the incorporation of an IE business through one of my partners , as well as HVAC , crane and elevator , general mechanical , civil plumbing , and roofing businesses . As a result , we became a turnkey contractor and shifted our focus more and more towards heavy industrial general contractor projects , although we still undertake building and remodeling work ,” he informs .
