The Beck Group is a company that provides architecture, construction,real estate development and sustainable design and consulting, as well as finance and technology services. The company is based in Dallas, Texas and also has offices in Atlanta, Austin, Denver, Fort Worth, Houston, Mexico City, San Antonio, and Tampa. The Beck Group serves a diverse range of industries, including corporate, healthcare, entertainment, religious, and education, with sustainability as an emphasis.

The company is headquartered in the Arts District of Downtown Dallas at the Southwestern Life Insurance Building, designed by George Dahl.

The Beck Group was founded in 1912 by Henry C. Beck in Houston, Texas as a general contractor and moved its headquarters to Dallas in 1924, a requirement for building the city's Cotton Exchange Building.

In the 1990s the construction company began adding other services, such as design and real estate development. It also acquired a UK-developed software product (Reflex) and began to develop a proprietary software, DESTINI, which would provide immediate costs for buildings as they were modeled in the schematic design phase.

In 1999, under the leadership of then-CEO (present Executive Chairman) Henry C. Beck III, the company merged with Urban Architecture, a regional design firm.
