Ground Up Industrial Construction in Texas
From raw land to operational facility. One contractor. One point of responsibility. Complete turnkey delivery.
Ground up industrial construction represents the most comprehensive delivery method for new facilities. Starting from undeveloped land and delivering a fully operational building requires coordinating dozens of trades, managing complex schedules, and maintaining quality across every phase of work. Property owners and developers throughout Texas trust our team to handle this complete scope as a single point of responsibility.
Our ground up industrial packages include everything from initial site clearing and mass grading through final punchlist and certificate of occupancy. This approach eliminates coordination gaps between separate site and building contractors, reduces change orders, and compresses overall project timelines. We self perform critical path work including earthwork, concrete, and structural steel to maintain schedule control.
Texas industrial markets demand fast delivery without sacrificing quality. Our integrated approach to ground up construction addresses both requirements. We bring preconstruction expertise to optimize building design for constructability, value engineering to maximize budget efficiency, and field execution capabilities to deliver on aggressive schedules.

Project Specifications
Ground up industrial construction in Texas requires deep understanding of local soil conditions, permitting requirements, and market expectations. Our project teams have delivered millions of square feet of industrial space across the state, from distribution centers in the DFW Metroplex to manufacturing facilities along the Gulf Coast.
Every ground up project begins with thorough site investigation. We evaluate geotechnical conditions, existing utilities, environmental constraints, and access requirements before developing execution plans. This due diligence prevents surprises during construction and allows accurate budgeting from day one.
Our self performance capabilities in earthwork, concrete, and steel erection provide schedule advantages that pure management contractors cannot match. When we control the critical path trades, we control the schedule. This direct execution model also improves quality and safety outcomes.
The Texas industrial market moves fast. Developers and corporate users expect rapid delivery to capture lease opportunities and meet operational deadlines. Our ground up construction teams operate with this urgency, maintaining aggressive schedules while meeting the quality standards that institutional owners require.

Common Questions
What size industrial projects do you handle with ground up construction?
Our ground up construction capabilities span from 50,000 square foot single tenant buildings to multi-million square foot distribution centers. We scale our project teams and resources to match each project's requirements while maintaining consistent execution standards.
How long does ground up industrial construction take in Texas?
Typical ground up industrial projects in Texas run 8 to 14 months from groundbreaking to certificate of occupancy, depending on building size and complexity. Our preconstruction process establishes realistic schedules based on specific project conditions and required delivery dates.
Do you handle permitting for ground up industrial projects?
Yes, our ground up packages include complete permitting coordination. We manage building permit applications, coordinate with local jurisdictions, schedule required inspections, and work through any plan review comments. This service is included in our turnkey delivery approach.
What is included in a ground up industrial construction budget?
Our ground up budgets cover complete project scope including site clearing, earthwork, utilities, paving, building construction, and standard building systems. We provide detailed cost breakdowns during preconstruction so owners understand exactly what is included.
Can you work with our architect on ground up projects?
Absolutely. We regularly partner with owner selected architects on ground up industrial projects. Our preconstruction team collaborates closely with design teams to optimize buildability and provide accurate cost feedback throughout design development.
