Ground-up commercial
New commercial buildings from site prep and foundation through final finishes, including multifamily and self-storage.
What it costsTenant improvements
Build-outs, whitebox and remodels that turn raw or dated space into a suite a tenant can open in, built to the rent commencement date.
TI for landlordsDesign-build
One team, one number. We bring in our design partner and carry the project from concept through construction.
Design-buildMetal buildings & light industrial
Durable steel buildings, shops, warehouses and self-storage built for function and value.
Metal buildingsUnderground utility & site work
Water, sewer, storm drainage, conduit and site work installed to spec, for our own builds and as a standalone package.
Utility workExterior renovations
Facade and storefront upgrades, cladding, windows and doors, painting, parking and walkways, including condo and HOA communities.
Condo & HOA exteriorsWe build like owners, because we own buildings too.
Our leadership comes from real estate investment and development. We know what a late opening or a blown budget costs, because we have carried those costs on our own projects.
Delivered across Central Arkansas.
From bid to handoff, no surprises.
Scope and budget
We tour the site or suite, confirm scope, flag code and base-building issues, and give you a line-item budget before you commit.
Plan and permit
Costs, schedule and expectations are set in writing. We handle permitting and inspections with the city, and with your landlord on leased space.
Build with weekly reporting
Weekly inspections, photos and written updates, so you always know where the job stands.
Punch, inspect and hand over
Final inspection and a documented handover, so substantial completion is never an argument.
Straight answers before you call.
What types of commercial projects do you handle?
Ground-up commercial construction, tenant improvements and remodels, exterior renovations, metal and light industrial buildings, underground utility work, condo and HOA exterior services, and build-to-rent communities.
Do you build self-storage facilities?
Yes. We build ground-up self-storage, both dry and climate-controlled, managed from site work through final finishes. At Jacksonville Mini Storage we rebuilt the facility after a tornado, including a brand-new climate-controlled building taken from dirt work to finish and full facade upgrades on the remaining buildings.
Can you keep my business open during a remodel or exterior renovation?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work and schedule the disruptive parts around your hours so you and your tenants keep operating.
Can you handle both design and construction?
Yes. We can work from your existing plans or bring in our design partner to develop a buildable, budget-aware plan as part of a design-build approach.
How do you keep a commercial project on budget?
You get a line-item budget before we start, and one accountable team manages costs, trades and schedule all the way through, with weekly updates.
How long does a ground-up commercial building take?
Most run several months from groundbreaking to occupancy, depending on size, permitting and weather. We build the schedule in preconstruction and report against it weekly.
Do you work with landlords and tenants on TI allowances?
Yes. We regularly build out spaces tied to a tenant improvement allowance and coordinate scope, budget and documentation so landlord and tenant stay aligned.
What does commercial construction cost in Arkansas?
It depends on size, type, finishes and site conditions, so we price from your specific program rather than a generic per-square-foot number. Our cost guide explains the main drivers.
