Loy Lowary is a graduate of Arizona State University where he earned a degree in Finance. While attending Arizona State University, Loy found his true calling, in the field of construction. Loy began his construction career in 1975, honing his skills by working on large projects such as building public schools, power and chemical plants. With this knowledge as his foundation, he started a commercial and residential excavation and concrete contracting company. Loy worked on excavation and paving projects including UA Cinemas, City of Colony Municipal Buildings, City of Dallas Municipal parking lots and various restaurants throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Sensing his knowledge in commercial construction was solidified, Loy began his pursuit of the same knowledge base for residential construction. In 1982, he began his career by overseeing the residential construction of more than 400 homes in Dallas, Texas and New England. In addition, he gained further knowledge by overseeing the building of a commercial 120-unit four-story luxury facility in Topsham, Maine. In the process he gained valuable and rare knowledge on building residential homes with basements, including excavation, installation and difficult sloping hillside sites. Combining his knowledge of commercial and residential construction, Loy is able to provide clients with extensive experience and technical expertise for building on some of Texas’s most challenging lots — the most recent being a 26,000 square foot, 4-level residence with a foundation so complex Ventura used the services of a commercial concrete company.
