MEET THE BEANS

WHO WE ARE

Bean Co. recognizes that a family’s home is often their most important asset. Every client has a dedicated project manager, superintendent, and full support staff to make the building process as stress-free as possible. Bean Co. is committed to building with a process-oriented approach, producing a home in an efficient way, without compromising quality. Brad and Megan pride themselves on the amount of careful thought and consideration that goes into each and every step of the build process and they can’t wait to start work on your home and your legacy.

Meet the Team

Brad Bean

  • A Dallas native and SMU alumni, Brad is passionate about building beautiful homes. Before starting Bean Co., Brad worked in both commercial and residential construction, garnering the experience he relies on daily while working with clients and leading the Bean Co. team of professionals. Above all else, Brad enjoys time with Megan (wife and Bean Co. co-founder) and their three children (and one dog!). Brad also enjoys golf, SMU football, and spending time with family.

Megan Bean

  • Megan has always loved bringing personal style to life. She has been honing the art of bringing visions to life since her days in The Temerlin Advertising Institute at SMU. She and Brad met there in 2002 and married in 2005. They always dreamed of the houses they would one day build, driving the streets of Highland Park, picking out their favorites. Design has long been a passion of Megan's. From her experience in the Harold's Marketing Department, to the nonprofit sector, and then finally into the home building business, the common thread was always directing visions into reality. She's not afraid to design for the individual, instead of the masses. She jokes she has to design dinner every night for her 3 kids, Tally, Tucker and Tate. Megan loves running, swimming and playing with her charcoal lab, Teil. Bean Co. feels like a dream come true to her and she can't wait to help you with your home.
