Core Services
Houston stands as the undisputed industrial construction capital of Texas. With over 600 million square feet of industrial space and more under development every month, the Greater Houston market demands contractors who understand the scale, pace, and specifications that industrial users require. Our team has delivered millions of square feet of industrial facilities across the Houston metropolitan area, from massive distribution centers along the I-10 corridor to specialized manufacturing plants serving the petrochemical industry.
The Houston industrial market operates differently than other Texas metros. Proximity to the Port of Houston, access to the nation's largest petrochemical complex, and connections to rail networks create unique requirements for industrial construction. Property developers and corporate users need contractors who understand these factors and can execute accordingly. Our Houston operations are built specifically for this market.
Whether you're developing speculative industrial product for the Houston market or building a custom facility for your own operations, we bring the local knowledge, trade relationships, and execution capabilities to deliver your project successfully. From site selection support through certificate of occupancy, our Houston team provides complete industrial construction services.
Houston's industrial real estate market consistently ranks among the nation's largest and most active. The metropolitan area contains more than 625 million square feet of industrial space with annual absorption regularly exceeding 15 million square feet. This sustained demand drives continuous construction activity across every submarket from the Katy Freeway corridor to the Houston Ship Channel industrial district.
Key factors driving Houston industrial construction include the expanding Port of Houston, one of the nation's busiest container ports; the massive petrochemical complex along the Ship Channel requiring ongoing facility construction and maintenance; the region's role as a distribution hub for the entire Gulf Coast and Southwest; and population growth that continues to attract logistics and e-commerce operations.
The Houston market also leads Texas in specialized industrial construction including cold storage facilities, food processing plants, and heavy manufacturing buildings. These project types require contractors with specific expertise beyond standard warehouse construction, capabilities our team has developed through decades of Houston market experience.
