A Contractor That Builds Around Your Brand.

Harris United is a family-led general contractor specializing in prototype construction for regional and national brands. Backed by in-house trade teams and four generations of experience, we approach every build with the kind of ownership that only comes from knowing this work inside and out.

Harris United

Construction Programs Backed by In-House Expertise.

What differentiates Harris United is control. We maintain in-house electrical and sitework crews, provide mechanical, electrical, and plumbing leadership, and structure dedicated teams around each brand we serve. That consistency improves schedule performance, strengthens brand standard compliance, and reduces repetitive change orders across multi-site programs.

Jupiter "JuJu"

Chief Morale Officer (CMO) Jupiter (“Juju” to his coworkers) joined the company four years ago after being adopted from Skiatook Paws & Claws Animal Rescue and has basically been running the place ever since. He comes to work every day ready to greet visitors, supervise meetings he wasn’t invited to, and remind employees to take snack breaks. While his work ethic becomes questionable after 2 PM, his office morale contributions are unmatched. When he’s not busy overseeing the office or occasionally barking during important phone calls, he can usually be found napping under his mom's desk.
