Who We Are

About Ten Two

Owner-operated, hands-on, and built around getting the frame right the first time.

Our Story

Steel is the part everything else hangs on.

Ten Two Builders was founded on a simple idea: the steel frame sets the standard for everything that goes up after it. Every column plumb, every beam level, every connection torqued to spec — that's the work, and it's the only work we do.

Based in New Mexico, we work directly with general contractors and project owners across the high desert Southwest, bringing an owner-operated crew to every site instead of handing the job off down the chain.

Leadership

Run by the people on site.

Ryan and Olivia are raising a family of boys together, and when they're not on a job site you'll likely find them at the baseball field, out on the golf course, or traveling as a family.

How We Work

What you can count on.

01

Plumb, Level, True

Every lift is checked and braced before we move to the next. Tolerances aren't a punch-list item — they're how we build from the start.

02

Owner-Operated

Ryan and Olivia are involved in every project directly — no layers between the person you called and the crew on site.

03

Schedule-Driven

Steel erection sets the pace for every trade behind it. We sequence around your GC's timeline and communicate early if anything shifts.

04

Safety First

Every crew member trained, every site walked before steel goes up. No shortcuts on fall protection or rigging.
