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.
Case Studies
Commercial Projects That Delivered
Real commercial builds with real numbers — scope, schedule, and outcome transparency that B2B buyers expect from a contractor they're considering for seven-figure projects.
Richardson Office Park – Building A
Richardson, TX
Scope
24,000 sq ft | 3-story tilt-wall concrete construction with curtain-wall glass facade, structured parking for 120 vehicles, full MEP fit-out, and ADA-compliant elevator and restrooms.
Timeline
22 weeks from groundbreaking to certificate of occupancy — 3 weeks ahead of the original 25-week schedule.
Outcome
Delivered at $157/sq ft against a $162/sq ft budget target. The project was the first of three planned phases; the client broke ground on Building B with UTS BuildPros immediately after completion.
Abilene Industrial Manufacturing Facility
Abilene, TX
Scope
45,000 sq ft steel structure on 8" reinforced concrete slab with 20-ton overhead crane rail system (two crane bays), 4,000A 3-phase electrical service, industrial exhaust and ventilation, and an 8,000 sq ft two-story office and lab wing.
Timeline
30 weeks — completed on the exact date committed at contract signing. Zero change orders on the structural scope.
Outcome
The client stated this was the first project in their 20-year history with zero structural change orders. The crane rail system met manufacturer installation tolerances on the first inspection. NFPA 13 fire protection compliance achieved without a single correction notice.
Waco Retail Center
Waco, TX
Scope
15,500 sq ft | 5-unit retail strip center with masonry and EIFS facade, aluminum storefront glass systems, individual HVAC and utility services per tenant, 85-space shared parking lot, and full plumbing rough-in for food and beverage tenants.
Timeline
16 weeks from slab to certificate of occupancy — delivered on the date specified in the original contract.
Outcome
Two of the five units were pre-leased before construction completed. The building achieved full occupancy within 90 days of CO. The client reported the fastest lease-up of any retail property in their portfolio, attributing it to the curb appeal and move-in-ready condition at handover.

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.
