Our Story

From One Trade to Seven Divisions

ITDG Construction started as a small electrical contractor in Tucson, Arizona in 1980. Over four decades, we watched the same problems plague our industry — stacked subcontractor markups, schedule-killing coordination gaps, and zero accountability when things went wrong.

So we built the solution ourselves. One trade at a time, we added in-house capabilities until we became Arizona's only general contractor that self-performs electrical, plumbing, HVAC, glazing, civil, concrete, and painting — all with our own W-2 employees.

Today, that vertical integration means 20–30% savings on MEP costs, schedules compressed by 30%, and a single point of accountability from groundbreaking to punch list.

David Williamson

David brings over 40 years of expertise in the construction industry. He began his career as an electrical contractor with Williamson Electric in 1979 — growing what started as a small operation into one of Arizona's largest electrical contractors, employing 400 professionals.

Transitioning to general contracting, David implemented a distinctive strategy by self-performing HVAC, electrical, and plumbing services in-house — allowing clients to collaborate closely with the project team to design cost-effective solutions that align with their budgets.

David is dedicated to helping clients understand the value of MEP systems and their integration into specific project needs. He takes a hands-on approach, ensuring seamless coordination among the in-house team on each project to maintain schedules and stay within budget.

Why ITDG

What Sets Us Apart

20–30% MEP Savings

One margin instead of three layers of subcontractor markups. You pay for labor, materials, and one overhead — that's it.

30% Faster Schedules

When we own the trades, our crews work in parallel instead of waiting for the next sub to show up. 12-week schedules done in 7.

0.8 EMR Safety Rating

Our direct employees are trained to our standards, not a temp agency's. That shows in our industry-leading safety record.

90% Repeat Clients

The best measure of our work isn't what we say — it's how many clients come back. Nine out of ten do.
