Reytec’s Community Involvement

At Reytec, building infrastructure is only part of our mission. Just as important as the roads, waterlines, and public works we deliver are the relationships we build with the communities we serve. From the very beginning, our story has been one of gratitude, giving back, and helping create opportunities for others to succeed.

Rooted in Texas, Driven by Gratitude

Our founder, Gregg T. Reyes, grew up in Houston, Texas under very modest circumstances. Like so many Texans, he saw firsthand how a strong community can lift people up when they need it most. Family, teachers, mentors, and neighbors gave Gregg encouragement and support at critical moments in his life, shaping not just his career, but his values.

That foundation of support inspired Gregg to make community involvement one of Reytec’s core commitments. More than just a construction company, Reytec is an active partner in strengthening the social fabric of the region. The belief is simple: when you’ve been helped, you have a responsibility to help others.

Supporting Texas Traditions

Few community traditions embody the spirit of Texas like the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, and Reytec has been a perennial supporter for many years. The Rodeo celebrates not just our state’s agricultural heritage but also raises millions in scholarships for young Texans pursuing higher education. By investing in this event year after year, we’re helping ensure that opportunities for education and advancement are available to the next generation.

Advocating for Transportation and Infrastructure

Reytec’s commitment to Texas runs through the very arteries of its communities—its roads, water systems, and public infrastructure. As a founding member of the Transportation Advocacy Group (TAG), we are proud to play an active role in advancing policies and funding that sustain and strengthen the region’s infrastructure network. TAG’s mission to promote sustainable, well-funded, and forward-thinking transportation solutions aligns seamlessly with Reytec’s own vision: delivering projects that are safe, efficient, and resilient for generations to come. Through this partnership, we contribute both financial support and professional expertise to help shape the future of mobility and infrastructure investment across Texas.

Water Environment Association of Texas

Reytec is also a proud supporter of the Water Environment Association of Texas (WEAT), the state’s leading organization dedicated to preserving, enhancing, and managing water resources. Our partnership reflects the central role that water plays in our work and in the communities we serve. By engaging with WEAT, we contribute to education, advocacy, and best practices that promote sustainable water infrastructure across Texas. This commitment ensures that future generations benefit from safe, reliable, and resilient water systems—values that align directly with Reytec’s mission of building for the long term.

Engaging with Industry Associations

We are proud members and supporters of the Houston Contractors Association, where collaboration and advocacy strengthen our industry and the communities we serve. Active involvement in industry organizations ensures that Reytec is contributing to best practices, safety standards, and innovative solutions that benefit everyone.

As a minority-owned business, Reytec also values its partnership with several of the Hispanic Chambers of Commerce across Texas. The Chambers provide vital resources, networking, and advocacy that empower Hispanic-owned businesses across the region. For Gregg, this partnership is personal—an opportunity to support entrepreneurship and leadership within a community that shares his story and aspirations.

Investing in Education and Local Schools

Reytec’s community commitment extends to the classroom. We believe the future of Texas rests in the hands of its students, and we actively support local schools through donations, mentorship, and sponsorships. Whether it’s funding supplies, supporting STEM programs, or sponsoring career days, our goal is to inspire young people to see the possibilities in engineering, construction, and beyond.

For many of our employees, these efforts are also deeply personal. With families and children enrolled in local districts, Reytec’s school support is a way of ensuring that opportunities for growth and success start early and extend to every neighborhood.

Giving Back in Many Ways

Beyond these cornerstone commitments, Reytec regularly contributes to countless local charities, nonprofit organizations, and civic events. From neighborhood beautification efforts to health and wellness programs, our team volunteers time and resources to make a positive impact. For us, giving back is not a once-a-year initiative—it is a year-round responsibility.

Building Community Through People

At the heart of Reytec’s community involvement is our people. Employees at every level of the company embrace a culture of service. Many serve on nonprofit boards, volunteer in youth sports, and mentor students in local schools. By empowering our team members to give back in ways that matter most to them, we amplify the impact of our collective commitment. 

A Legacy of Service

Reytec’s community involvement is not about recognition or headlines—it is about honoring the support that made Gregg’s journey possible and ensuring that others have the same opportunities. Whether it’s scholarships, mentorship, advocacy, or volunteer work, we believe every investment in our community creates ripples of impact that last for generations.

For Gregg, the measure of success has never been just the size of the projects we build, but the strength of the community we leave behind. That’s why community involvement will always be part of Reytec’s DNA. We are grateful for the chance to serve, and we remain committed to giving back—today, tomorrow, and for decades to come.
