Matt Pickens brings nearly 25 years of construction experience to White Construction. A builder at heart, Matt focuses on the quality that arises from integrating plans, people, and processes to meet client needs during the preconstruction phase. From relationship management to project buyout and procurement, Matt works tirelessly to support project teams while promoting the motto “Building Success Together.”
Matt’s journey in construction began early in life; his father and grandfather were in the industry. While completing his bachelor’s degree in construction science at Texas A&M University, he worked summers as a laborer pouring concrete and eventually advanced to the role of field engineer.
In the early stages of his career, Matt gained valuable experience as a Project Manager and Superintendent, which gave him insight into the processes necessary for successful project execution, including budgeting, scheduling, sequencing, and logistics. As his career progressed, he took on corporate roles that involved leading preconstruction, managing project operations, handling staffing assignments, and setting strategic goals. His construction management portfolio encompasses higher education, K-12, healthcare, corrections, retail, and projects, along with additional experience in corporate and hospitality sectors.
Outside of work, Matt is devoted to his family and the people around him, striving to ensure that everyone lives each day to the fullest. He is also committed to community service, volunteering for his church, serving on the local school board, acting as Chapter Manager for Sleep in Heavenly Peace, and supporting the Ronald McDonald House of Central Texas.
