What Texarkana is like to build in
Interstate 30, Interstate 369 and US 82 meet here at the end of the I-30 corridor in Texas. Texas A&M University-Texarkana is here, and Red River Army Depot to the west and Wright Patman Lake to the south shape the commercial and industrial side.
Permits
City of Texarkana, Texas. State Line Avenue is literally the line, and the Arkansas side is a different city with different codes, so confirm which side the parcel is on before anything else.
The ground
Sandy loam and clay, with creek bottoms that flood. Variable enough that a soils report earns its cost.
The drive
About 2 hours 30 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.
