In 1980, G. Dan James and Neal R. Luther formed James & Luther, Inc., serving clients in the petroleum, petrochemical, mining, metals, material handling, and power generation segments throughout the United States. In 2014, Rick Chavez purchased James & Luther from Neal Luther. Rick brings over 34 years of experience and management in all technical aspects of the oil refining and petrochemical industries. James & Luther has successfully completed projects of all sizes; providing all craft disciplines from overall construction management, constructability, earthwork, civil, structural, mechanical, instrumentation and electrical, to scaffolding, insulation, and fireproofing.
Our management services keep your project on schedule and on budget. We apply real time control and measurement to all project facets and participants. As program manager, we exercise direct control over the costs by either direct hiring all disciplines or, in the appropriate situation, the subcontractors. James & Luther as a general contractor, performs diversified mechanical installations for clients. Be it vessels, towers, drums, pumps, HVAC equipment, piping, or support accessories, our company has millwrights, riggers, welders, and fitters for any mechanical application.
