FAQ
Questions about commercial construction in Austin
How much does commercial construction cost per square foot in Austin?
It depends on building type. Most commercial work in Austin runs from about $150 per square foot for warehouse and shell space to $400 or more for offices, with restaurants, medical, and hospitality higher still. The reliable number comes from a pre-construction estimate against your actual project.
How long does it take to build a commercial project in Austin?
It depends on size and scope. City of Austin permitting alone often runs six to twelve weeks, including plan review and correction cycles. Construction then adds several months to more than a year. We set a realistic schedule in pre-construction and plan the permitting into it.
What permits are required for commercial construction in Austin?
Commercial projects go through the City of Austin Development Services Department. Most need site plan approval, a commercial building permit reviewed against the International Building Code and local amendments, and trade permits for electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work. We manage the process and plan it into the schedule.
Do you handle ground-up commercial construction in Austin?
Yes. Ground-up commercial construction is core to what we do, and we self-perform the concrete and structure ourselves. From the site and foundations through the finished building, one accountable team carries the whole job, so the critical work never waits on someone else’s crew.
Do you need a general contractor license in Texas?
No. Texas does not license general contractors at the state level, though trades like electrical, plumbing, and HVAC are licensed and local permits still apply. We work as a general contractor in Texas, and we hold general contractor licenses in the other jurisdictions that require them.
