Permits, Code & Houston Conditions
Commercial work means more moving parts — building plan review, fire marshal review, MEP coordination, and accessibility compliance. We manage the full permitting process through the City of Houston Permitting Center (or the relevant jurisdiction), build to the International Building Code as adopted locally, and engineer for Gulf Coast wind loads and the region's clay soils.

How much does commercial construction cost in Houston?
Commercial construction in Houston generally runs $50–$200 per square foot depending on building type and finish level. Warehouses and shell buildings fall at the low end ($50–$90/sq ft), while offices, retail, and restaurants run higher ($100–$200/sq ft) due to HVAC, electrical, and finishes. Tenant build-outs typically run $30–$120 per square foot. Site work on Houston's clay soil, City of Houston permitting, and Gulf Coast wind-load requirements are key cost factors.
