Devon Tower World Headquarters Building

The 52-story Devon Tower is one of Oklahoma City’s most visible landmarks and was designed as an office headquarters for Devon Energy, but also a place for people to enjoy dining and views from the upper floors. This high profile, LEED Gold certified skyscraper presented Harris with major challenges. With so many floors to traverse, the coordination of materials and the vertical transportation of work force, became a major organizational hurdle for all the trades to coordinate.

Harris approached the problem by pre-assembling sections of ductwork and assigning crews exclusively to the movement and management of materials, typically during off hours. This tactic helped minimize schedule duration and trade stacking, while maximizing production.

Partnered with B&W Mechanical Contractors, Harris used its expertise in Lean building and sustainable construction to help Devon Energy successfully receive LEED Gold certification for this $750 million structure.
