SAN ANTONIO, TX — Jordan Foster Construction announces it has received the Eagle Award at the 33rd Annual Excellence in Construction Awards, the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) South Texas Chapter’s highest recognition.
The Excellence in Construction program celebrates the region’s most outstanding construction achievements, highlighting craftsmanship, innovation, and project delivery. Jordan Foster received the top distinction for its work on the Mariposa Medical Office Building, a four-story, 110,000-square-foot health care facility located in Westover Hills, one of San Antonio, Texas’ fastest-growing health care corridors.
The award recognizes Jordan Foster Construction’s performance in technical execution, coordination, and client value. The project required unusually high precision due to its tight 0.75-acre footprint. To navigate these constraints, the team implemented extensive planning strategies including, shared site logistics, Building Information Modeling coordination, weekly superintendent meetings, and detailed scheduling reviews — to maintain safe, efficient, and organized operations.
The firm also led an intensive value engineering effort when late-stage design selections produced a projected budget overage exceeding $2 million. Through careful evaluation of materials, system modifications, and long-term performance considerations, Jordan Foster successfully reduced the overage to $53,946 while maintaining aesthetic and functional objectives.
Jordan Foster’s commitment to craftsmanship was reflected in its comprehensive quality assurance approach, which included full-scale mock-ups, first-install inspections, and weekly trade partner meetings. These measures ensured architectural consistency across complex features such as the granite monumental stair, multi-story curtain wall systems, custom millwork, curved interior finishes, and specialized acoustic treatments.

Throughout construction, the team resolved multiple significant challenges, including rerouting the sprinkler system to preserve ceiling heights and tenant flexibility, resequencing workflows to accommodate delayed material selections, and maintaining operational continuity amid overlapping access, power, and delivery needs with the neighboring general contractor. These proactive decisions protected the building’s performance and upheld architectural integrity.
“This award is a testament to the dedication and problem-solving mentality our teams bring to every project,” said Darren Woody, CEO of Jordan Foster Construction. “The Mariposa Medical Office Building presented unique challenges, but our people met them with the highest level of craftsmanship, coordination, and integrity. We are honored to partner with outstanding clients, architects, and trade professionals who share our commitment to excellence. And this recognition reflects not only the quality of the finished building, but the collaboration and hard work that made it possible."
The completed Mariposa Medical Office Building is a pivotal addition to San Antonio’s growing medical corridor and solidifies Jordan Foster Construction's regional position in complex health care and commercial construction.
