What Prosper is like to build in
US 380, the Dallas North Tollway and Preston Road carry the traffic. Farmland north of 380 has been turning into subdivisions and the commercial ground is following the tollway north.
Permits
Town of Prosper. The town spans Collin and Denton counties and has grown fast enough that platting, engineering review and inspections all run with a queue.
The ground
Blackland clay toward the east, sandier Cross Timbers ground near the Denton County line. A soils report settles which one you have.
The drive
About 1 hour 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.
