What We Build
Commercial Construction Specialties
Three core commercial delivery methods — each with a dedicated team, proven process, and transparent pricing. Click any specialty to explore scope, case studies, and FAQs in detail.
Tenant Build-Outs
From white-box shell to turnkey occupancy — office suites, retail stores, restaurants, and medical practices built to your brand standards and lease requirements. One contractor managing every trade from demolition through certificate of occupancy.
Ground-Up Construction
From raw land to ribbon cutting — new office buildings, retail centers, industrial facilities, and mixed-use developments. Design-build or plan-spec delivery with self-performed concrete, steel, and site work for tighter schedules and better cost control.
Municipal & Public Sector
Work for cities and counties, scored on bonding, safety record and licensing rather than a brochure. We delivered a 5,000 sq ft maintenance building for the City of Hugo, Oklahoma, and we run Texas TDLR Architectural Barriers registration as part of the job.
Industrial & Office
Heavy industrial, light manufacturing, distribution centers, and corporate headquarters. Tilt-wall, steel, or conventional construction — engineered to your operational requirements with the MEP and structural capacity your business demands.
Our Process
How We Deliver Commercial Construction
From first conversation through certificate of occupancy — four clear phases, one accountable contractor. Here's what every commercial project looks like with UTS BuildPros.
Estimate & Feasibility
Site evaluation, zoning analysis, conceptual budgeting, and preliminary schedule — delivered at no cost before you commit. You get a clear picture of project viability, timeline, and budget range.
Preconstruction
Design coordination with your architect or our design-build partners, value engineering, permit package preparation, subcontractor bidding, and final GMP or lump-sum pricing with line-item detail.
Build
Site work, foundations, structural framing, building envelope, MEP systems, and interior build-out — with weekly progress reports, budget tracking, and a dedicated superintendent on site every day.
Closeout
Final inspections, certificate of occupancy, punch list completion, as-built documentation, warranty registration, and 30/90/365-day follow-up visits to ensure everything performs as designed.
Franchise & Multi-Site
Building the Same Thing, Four Times, To the Same Standard
Rolling out multiple locations is a different problem from building one well. The risk is not whether any single site gets built — it is whether site four matches site one, whether the schedule holds when three run concurrently, and whether one team carries the brand standard across all of them. Here is how we run that.
One prototype, repeated
A brand standard is a specification, not a suggestion. We build from your prototype drawings and equipment schedule, and we hold the same detail across every location so a regional inspection does not turn into a punch list per site.
One point of accountability
The same project manager runs the whole program rather than a different team per location. You call one person about site three, and that person already knows what happened on sites one and two.
Sequenced, not simultaneous
Concurrent sites compete for the same superintendents and the same subs. We sequence a rollout so trades move between locations as a crew, which is what keeps the fourth site to the same standard as the first instead of the same date.
Bonded for concurrent work
Single-project bonding to $10,000,000 and an aggregate program above $25,000,000, so bonding capacity is not the thing that caps how many of your locations we can carry at once.
If you are pricing a program rather than a project, tell us the number of locations and the window. That changes who picks up the phone — a multi-site rollout is scoped by the general manager, not routed through the standard estimating queue — and it changes what we send back: a per-location cost with the sequencing laid out, rather than four unrelated quotes.
Credentials
Licensing, Insurance & Qualifications
B2B buyers evaluating a commercial general contractor need to verify credentials before sending an RFP. Here's everything procurement teams typically ask for — transparent and current.
State Licensing
- Texas: Texas issues no state general contractor license. We register and permit through each local authority we build under — Dallas, Richardson, Plano, Fort Worth and Houston among them — and register every project of $50,000 or more with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation under the Architectural Barriers Act, where the construction documents go to a Registered Accessibility Specialist for review.
- Oklahoma: Oklahoma issues no state general contractor license. We hold an Oklahoma City Building Contractor license, active and in good standing with OKC Development Services.
- Arkansas: Arkansas Residential Builder license — covers light commercial and mixed-use work. Contact us for scope-specific licensing verification.
- Louisiana: Application submitted and awaiting approval. We are not licensed in Louisiana yet, and we do not contract work there that requires a license until it issues.
- Multi-State Capability: Our General Manager holds the NASCLA Accredited Examination for Commercial General Building Contractors. Twenty contractor licensing agencies across 17 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands accept that result in place of their own trade exam, which shortens the path to licensure when a project takes us beyond Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas. It is not a license in those states on its own — we license per project as each jurisdiction requires, and if a client needs us licensed somewhere we are not, we will pursue it for that project.
Insurance Coverage
- General Liability: $2,000,000 per occurrence / $4,000,000 aggregate — meets or exceeds requirements for institutional, municipal, and Fortune 500 project sites.
- Workers' Compensation: Statutory limits in TX, OK, and AR — full coverage for all field crews and subcontractor verification enforced on every project.
- Umbrella / Excess Liability: Available for projects requiring higher limits. Certificates of insurance provided within 24 hours of request.
Bonding Capacity
- Single Project Bonding: Up to $10,000,000 per project — bid bonds, performance bonds, and payment bonds available.
- Aggregate Bonding: $25,000,000+ aggregate program — supports concurrent projects across Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.
- Surety Partner: Bonding through a nationally recognized A-rated surety. Prequalification typically completed within 48 hours for new project opportunities.
Safety & Prequalification
- OSHA 30-Hour: All field supervisors hold active OSHA 30-Hour Construction Outreach trainings. Site workers hold OSHA 10-Hour minimum.
- ISNetworld: Active ISNetworld prequalification — required by most institutional, energy, and Fortune 500 clients. Safety plans, EMR ratings, and training records verified and current.
- Avetta: Avetta credentialed contractor — additional prequalification accepted by major corporate and industrial procurement departments.
- EMR Rating: Experience Modification Rate consistently below 1.0 — lower than the industry average, reflecting a sustained commitment to jobsite safety.
Compliance & Standards
- Building Codes: Current on IBC 2021, Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS), ADA Standards for Accessible Design, and all local amendments for cities we serve.
- Environmental: Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) compliance on every site. NPDES permit coordination for projects over one acre.
- Subcontractor Vetting: All subcontractors are prequalified for insurance, safety record, licensing, and financial stability before being approved for any UTS BuildPros project.
Industry Recognition
- BBB Rating: A+ accredited with the Better Business Bureau — zero unresolved complaints in company history.
- Veteran-Owned: Founded and led by U.S. military veterans. Military-grade accountability and mission-focused project execution on every engagement.
- Google Rating: Read verified client reviews on our Google Business Profile.
- Trade Association: Member of the Greater Fort Worth Builders Association, the homebuilders association covering Tarrant, Parker, Johnson, Wise, Hood, Somervell and Palo Pinto counties.
Procurement teams: certificates of insurance, W-9, and safety documentation available within 24 hours of request.

Commercial Construction Questions Answered
Common questions about commercial permitting, timelines, licensing, and how we manage projects in Texas and Oklahoma.
Any new commercial structure, addition, or change of occupancy in Texas requires a commercial building permit from the applicable city or county building department. This includes plan review by a licensed architect or engineer, zoning verification, fire marshal review (for certain occupancies), and inspections at multiple stages of construction. UTS BuildPros manages the full permitting process — we prepare permit packages, liaise with city officials, and track approvals so your project stays on schedule.
