In 1987, Kenneth A. Mulkey founded the Dallas-based general contracting company, primarily concentrating on residential and commercial new construction and remodel. Diverse Construction was grown from a startup contractor to a multi-skilled, multimillion dollar enterprise. Our company’s facilities are located at 1690 E. State Hwy 121, Lewisville, Texas, 75056. We are licensed in Texas, Oklahoma, Lousisiana, and Arkansas, and have executed successful projects in those states.
In 1993, cellular telephone use was rapidly growing, and Diverse Construction began exclusively working in this industry. By the year 2000, our company was becoming well known in the local area, providing civil, foundational, electrical, tower construction and RF installations. In addition to new construction, we also provided continuing maintenance programs for our clients. We bring to our clients a diverse array of construction expertise and a commitment to excellence.
Christi Tomlinson joined the company in January of 2001, bringing with her more than 25 years of accounting and management experience. The day to day operations of the company were divided, with Ken Mulkey responsible for Operations and Christi Tomlinson responsible for Human Resources and Accounting.
The company continued to grow and not only expanded it’s customer base, but also diversified; DCI began servicing the air conditioning and generators for over 600 Verizon Wireless cellular sites in North Texas and Oklahoma.
Our employees have a diverse offering of construction skills and certifications specific to cellular industry requirements, in addition to general contracting standards. Diverse Construction also has an extensive safety program which strives for a zero accident and injury rate. In addition to safety training in our office, we conduct toolbox safety meetings at the job-site and retain a third party safety firm to perform on-site inspections to confirm continual compliance.
In June of 2010, Diverse Construction became a Certified Women Owned business. We are planning for continued company growth and opportunities for all of our employees and their families who call Diverse Construction their home. We at Diverse Construction, Inc. are fully confident that we will not only fully meet every expectation of our customers, but will continually strive to exceed them.
Our Story

We’ve seen our industry evolve over the course of the last two decades, and with it so has our safety regulations and requirements. Our company strongly believes that investing time, money, and research into our training program is simply a critical asset. The importance of having a job done safely and efficiently is a top priority that equals added value to our customers. Having the best interest of our employees in mind, we’ve initiated the best company practices by incorporating the following:
We retain Engineering Safety Consultants to conduct regular safety and health audits on our work sites, and to keep our company current in research and development of the best industry practices and compliance with government regulations. We have a trained and appointed competent person on site at all times who is responsible for safety and health activities of all persons working on tower construction sites. All tower personnel working on a tower site will be trained in the OSHA 10-hour course or it’s equivalent.
We understand that safety is a choice. We provide our employees with current and accredited training and equipment to make sure every employee has the tools and the core base knowledge to make the best decision every time. Our goal is to have every employee return home safely.

Every year in January our crews participate in mandatory Climber Safety, Fall Protection, Tower Rescue, CPR and First Aid classes.
On the jobsite, Site Supervisors lead daily tailgate safety meetings to assess and discuss potential jobsite hazards, as well as to keep safety uppermost in everyone’s mind. Our crews are instructed to focus on safety, and every effort is made to make safety a way of life.
Substance Abuse Policy
Because impaired capability places the lives of every team member at risk, Diverse Construction maintains a Zero-Tolerance Substance Abuse Policy. Any applicant interesting in joining our team will be required to submit to a drug test, which we are ceritfied to perform here on site at our corporate headquarters. We also have a randomized drug testing software that will periodically require a certain subset of our employees to submit an additional test. The safety and health of our team is our highest priority.
Driver Competence
A background check and DOT-screening, including drug-screen, are required of all personnel pre-employment. Each potential drive participates in a drive test and each driver’s record is submitted for verification of insurability. Drug and alcohol testing occur at random, as well as when indicated.
Security
Our extensive pre-employment screening, our zero-tolerance policies, and our company culture of integrity open the door for only honest, reliable omployees. Our crews routinely pass clearance screenings for government and energy site access.
