 * What I think should be changed (include citations):

Flintco was founded in 1908 as Tulsa Rig, Reel, and Manufacturing Company (TRR), began supplying wooden oilfield rigs and derricks during Oklahoma’s oil boom in the early 1900s. C.W. Flint, Sr. became co-owner of TRR in 1919, and sole owner in 1935. The Tulsa-based company grew with the oil business, and established lumberyards in oilfields, entered the construction business and expanded into general building contracting with the purchase of Fornier Construction Company.

C.W. “Bill” Flint, Jr. took over operations after the death of his father in 1950. His heritage as a Cherokee Indian on his mother’s side was to play a key role in the company’s future. When WWII rocked the world, the construction arm of the company built major military training centers. When the building boom of the post-war 1950s created an unprecedented demand for general contracting services, the company expanded with new locations to meet the needs of growing communities and divested of its oil field lumberyards. In 1972, Bill Flint consolidated TRR and Fornier under a new operating name for the construction company, Flintco, Inc., which it retains today.

In the 1980s, the company expanded its services and geographic areas. It established Oakridge Builders, Inc. in 1983 as an extension of the nationally-respected construction services of Flintco, Inc. and both companies were grouped under the parent company, The Flintco Companies, Inc. Oakridge Builders, Inc. has since carved its niche in the general construction market while Flintco, Inc. has focused primarily on providing professional construction services for large, complex projects. C.W. “Bill” Flint, Jr. passed away in 2001. The third generation of the Flint family carried on the firmly established company.

In January 2013, Flintco was acquired by Alberici Corporation of St. Louis, Missouri, which said that Flintco would continue to operate on an independent basis.

Flintco operates nationwide in Austin, Texas; Denver, Colorado; Houston, Texas; Memphis, Tennessee; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; San Antonio, Texas; Springdale, Arkansas; and the company’s headquarters in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Flintco provides a full range of construction services: preconstruction, construction management, design-build, program and project management, and general contracting in a variety of market sectors.

In 2019, Flintco was named one of the Nation’s safest builders by the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC), at the ABC National Safety Excellence Awards.

Flintco has constructed The Momentary, George H.W. Bush State Office Building, Oyate Health Center, University of Houston Multi-Service Building and Parking Garage #5, SESCO Cement Terminal, FedEx Forum,Oklahoma State University Boone Pickens Stadium, and the University of Oklahoma Gaylord Family Memorial Stadium.
