Michael G. Scheurich’s passion for construction originated with a love of architecture and how buildings are designed. 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 operates in the markets of multifamily, industrial, retail, healthcare, corporate interiors, community, hospitality and office construction with an annual revenue of more than $700 million.

Scheurich has received numerous awards for his leadership including the Small Business Administration Entrepreneurial Success Award, Houston Business Journal Most Admired CEO, NAIOP Houston Icon and REDnews Texas Commercial Real Estate Icon. 

Scheurich serves on 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 Greater Houston Partnership, the Wallis State Bank Board of Directors and served nine years on the Houston NAIOP Board of Directors and three years on the National NAIOP Board of Directors.
