Commercial Concrete Contractor
in Houston, TX

What commercial work do you self-perform in Houston?

Our own crews handle concrete, steel and site work on commercial and industrial jobs. No scope on this page is brokered out.

• Concrete: slabs, loading docks, parking lots, equipment pads and machine foundations.
• Steel: structural steel, steel erection, metal buildings, mezzanines and pipe racks.
• Site work: grading, underground utilities, storm sewer, detention ponds and SWPPP.

Do you work under general contractors or directly for owners?

Both. General contractors, developers, plant owners and facility managers hire us with the civil and structural sheets in hand. We build to the sealed drawings and book the special inspections. One superintendent runs each job and is the person your team calls. When we pour the foundation and set the steel, the anchor bolts go in with templates cut from the steel drawings, so the base plates land where they belong.

Can you keep my business open while you work?

Usually, yes. We phase paving and dock work so the entrances, fire lanes and most dock doors stay open while we pour the rest. Each phase gets a pour date in the schedule, because concrete has to reach strength before traffic comes back. On plant jobs we plan picks and tie-ins around your turnaround window.

Who handles the SWPPP and stormwater rules?

The TCEQ construction general permit (TXR150000) applies when a job disturbs one acre or more. It calls for a stormwater pollution prevention plan, a posted site notice and regular inspections. The primary operator is usually the general contractor. We can write the plan, install the erosion controls, run the inspections and keep the records ready for TCEQ and City inspectors. See SWPPP.

What specs and inspections do you build to?

We build to the specs on your sheets and the codes behind them.

• Curbs and paving follow City of Houston and TxDOT sections.
• Walkways and ramps meet TAS and ADA slope rules.
• Structural steel follows AISC 360 and AWS D1.1, and a third-party agency inspects bolts and welds under IBC Chapter 17.
• Water and sewer lines are pressure and mandrel tested.

Are you licensed and insured for commercial work in Texas?

Texas does not license general, concrete or steel contractors, so no one in this trade has a state license number. Here is what we send with a bid.

• $2M general liability, per occurrence.
• Workers compensation covering the full crew.
• Welder qualification records and mill test reports on request.
• A 10-year structural warranty and a 1-year workmanship warranty.
