ABOUT BEATRIZ

Led by experience.
Grounded in integrity.

Beatriz Flores founded Presidio 1 Construction on a simple belief: that people deserve a contractor who actually cares – about the work, about the process and about the home they're trusting you with.

BEATRIZ’S STORY

A life built around construction.

Beatriz grew up in Chicago, where she first learned from building with her dad what it means to work with your hands and to care about the details others miss. As an adult, she spent years in remodeling and construction project management, overseeing complex projects and developing a ground-level understanding of how buildings come together — and where things go wrong when no one's paying close enough attention.

She's worked on everything from residential flips to larger commercial builds, including managing crews on major projects alongside some of the

"People don't just want a finished project. They want a process that feels organized, respectful & predictable. That's what I'm here to give them."

most experienced general contractors in her network. That breadth isn't an accident. It's what makes her unusually prepared for the kind of residential work she loves most — projects where design instinct, technical knowledge and steady project management all have to work together.

Today, she leads Presidio 1 Construction out of Waco, Texas, bringing the same standard to every project she takes on.

BACKGROUND

Experience gained across every kind of project.

Before founding Presidio 1, Beatriz spent years building the kind of practical expertise that only comes from actually doing the work — managing projects, solving problems on-site, and learning what separates good construction from great construction.

Where It Started · Chicago

Growing Up on the Job Site

Beatriz grew up working alongside her father — learning construction not from a classroom, but from doing it. That's where she discovered what she loves most: the tangible act of turning an idea into something real, useful, and beautiful.

House Flipping & Renovation Work

Took on residential renovation projects firsthand — managing scopes, coordinating trades, and developing a design eye for what transforms a house into something people actually want to live in.

03

Large-Scale Projects

Managing Crews on Major Builds

Worked alongside seasoned general contractors on larger commercial and government projects — managing teams, maintaining timelines, and gaining experience that most residential contractors never encounter.

Founder, Presidio 1 Construction

Launched Presidio 1 to bring that full depth of experience to residential clients in Central Texas — with a focus on the quality, communication, and follow-through that most homeowners struggle to find.

EMPOWERING YOU

A process for homeowners who are ready.

A lot of homeowners sit with projects they know need to happen — a bathroom that's been out of date for years, a kitchen that doesn't work the way it should, a space that could be so much better. They put it off because they don't know who to trust, or they've been burned before, or the whole thing just feels overwhelming.

That's exactly the problem Beatriz loves to solve. She's the kind of contractor who walks with you through the hard decisions, keeps you in the loop and makes a process that feels impossible feel entirely manageable.

She cares about the end result. But she cares just as much about how you feel getting there.
