What Denison is like to build in
US 75 and US 69 run through town just south of Lake Texoma and Denison Dam. The Eisenhower Birthplace is the landmark, and the regional airport and the industrial ground between Denison and Sherman are the commercial side.
Permits
City of Denison. Grayson County outside the limits. Land near Lake Texoma can border Army Corps of Engineers property, and nothing goes up on the Corps side of that line.
The ground
Clay and shallow limestone around town, with Red River bottomland to the north. Rock in footings is possible and it is excluded from every base bid.
The drive
About 1 hour 25 minutes from Royse City. Distance is not what decides whether we take a job. Size is.

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.
