Cox/Dirks Architects, P.C. is a full-service commercial architecture firm that has operated in Lubbock and the surrounding area for over 60 years. With our support staff and consultants, we feel that we can provide the professional services necessary to satisfy the requirements of today's complex buildings and fulfill the need for both functional and aesthetic excellence.

The firm was originally established in 1960 by Billy J. Cox in Lubbock, Texas as Bill Cox & Associates. Mr. Cox believed in developing a solid relationship with the client based on integrity, trust, and communication. He began his career designing residences, but as clients experienced the quality of his work, they began seeking his services on commercial projects, including small mercantile, financial institutions, and professional offices. As his business grew, Mr. Cox added personnel over the years and eventually partnered with one of his junior architects, James H. “Jimmy” Dirks. In 1991, Bill and Jimmy created and incorporated their new company, Cox/Dirks Architects, P.C., and continued to provide architectural services throughout the region.

In 1999, Bill Cox retired from the firm and Jimmy Dirks took over sole ownership of the firm and continued to grow his client base. While many of the residential projects began to decline, the firm’s commercial work expanded into larger and more diverse projects, including large retail centers, larger financial institutions, numerous municipal projects, and logistical warehouses. As the business grew, Mr. Dirks added personnel over the years and partnered with one of his junior architects, Jason R. Bush. Mr. Bush became vice president in 2009 and president in 2016, when Mr. Dirks retired from the firm.

Mr. Bush continues to provide professional services with the same commitment to building good client relationships that are based on integrity, trust, and clear communication. As President of the firm, Mr. Bush has renewed the firm’s activity in the residential sector by providing services on both single-family projects and multi-family projects. During his time as President, Mr. Bush has also broadened the firm’s public sector work in both Texas and New Mexico. He has also expanded the firm’s commercial work to include projects in New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Kansas. Although Mr. Bush has expanded the firm’s services to surrounding states, he has kept the firm’s primary focus on serving Lubbock and the West Texas region.
