GROUND
Houston Ground-Up Commercial Construction

Ground-up commercial construction, from site to certificate of occupancy.

MX Builders delivers new-build commercial construction — office buildings, retail centers, warehouses and light-industrial buildings, and mixed-use developments — for Houston-area property owners and developers. One team carries the project from site work through the final certificate of occupancy, coordinating design, permitting, and every trade in between.

Project Types

Built new,
for how it will be used.

Ground-up commercial construction across the property types that make up the Houston metro's commercial base.

Office Buildings

New-build office space, sized and configured to the tenant mix and lease structure the property is built for.

Retail Centers

Ground-up retail construction, from single-tenant pad sites to multi-tenant retail centers.

Warehouses & Industrial

New warehouse and light-industrial buildings, built for the clear-height, loading, and access requirements the use demands.

Mixed-Use Developments

New construction combining commercial and residential or retail components on a single site.

Our Process

From site
to certificate of occupancy.

A realistic sequence for how a ground-up commercial project moves from a raw site to a building your tenants can occupy.

1

Site & Feasibility

We evaluate the site, verify zoning and use, and pressure-test the building program against budget and schedule before committing to a plan.

2

Design Coordination

Working alongside your architect and engineers — or our own design-build team — we align drawings with real-world constructability and cost.

3

Permitting

We manage permit submittals and inspections with the relevant Houston-area jurisdiction so approvals don't stall the schedule.

4

Site Work & Foundation

Our own civil sitework and concrete crews handle grading, utilities, and foundations — the same self-performed scope detailed on our Civil & Sitework page.

5

Vertical Construction

Framing, envelope, MEP, and interior finish-out move forward under one general contractor, with a single point of accountability for schedule and quality.

6

Certificate of Occupancy

Final inspections, punch list, and closeout — we carry the project through CO, not just substantial completion.

Every Phase, Connected

Built on capabilities
we already run in-house.

Ground-up work draws on the same trade capabilities and project management discipline behind every MX Builders project — see the depth on each page below.

Portfolio Note

Built on a proven
foundation.

Ground-up commercial construction is a service offering MX Builders provides today, built on the same in-house GC, concrete, and civil sitework capabilities behind every project we run.

MX Builders' completed project history to date is MX Group's own Houston-area property portfolio — full renovation and rehab work, not ground-up commercial construction. See our Case Studies page for that portfolio, framed honestly as MX Group properties executed by MX Builders. Ground-up commercial is offered as a capability, not (yet) a completed project category.
