What Commerce is like to build in
Texas A&M University-Commerce anchors the town and SH 24 and SH 11 carry everything else. Outside the city it is farm and ranch ground where equipment barns and shop-houses are the normal build.
Permitting
City of Commerce in town, Hunt County outside. County work covers most of the surrounding farm and ranch acreage.
What the ground does
Blackland clay giving way to sandier soils east toward Delta and Hopkins counties. Ask for the soils report rather than assuming which one you have.

Is this a fit
We're probably not your builder if
- You need a repair or a service call.
- You're looking at a shed, a carport, or a kit.
- You want the steel dropped and nothing else.
We're a fit if
- You're building 1,500 SF or more of finished commercial or industrial space.
- You're building a 2,000 SF or larger home on your land.
- You want one contractor from slab to final finish.
