Houston's Commercial General Contractor Built for This Market

Houston is not a forgiving construction environment. Summer heat regularly pushes above 100 degrees. Humidity stays high nearly year-round. Hurricane season runs from June through November and can stall projects fast. Any commercial general contractor working in this market needs to plan around these realities, not pretend they do not exist.

At RJT Construction, we have been operating and building across Texas for over 15 years. Our team understands how Houston weather affects concrete curing times, exterior finishes, and scheduling windows. We build weather contingencies directly into every project timeline. We source materials with humidity and heat resistance in mind. When storm season arrives, we have protocols in place to protect open structures and keep projects moving without costly delays.

Our lead project manager, with more than 20 years of Texas commercial construction experience, oversees every active build. That level of direct oversight is rare among Houston contractors. It means problems get caught early and solutions get implemented fast.

Licensed, Bonded, and Insured in Texas

RJT Construction holds all required Texas contractor licenses and carries full bonding and commercial liability insurance. We maintain general liability coverage, workers compensation, and builder's risk policies on every active project. Before we sign a contract, we provide documentation so your legal and finance teams have everything they need. You never have to chase paperwork with us.

Commercial clients, property managers, and developers need this level of documentation to protect their own interests. We treat licensing and insurance as a baseline, not a selling point. It is simply how responsible commercial construction works in Texas.

Commercial Construction Services We Deliver Across Texas

RJT Construction handles a full range of commercial projects from ground-up new construction to tenant improvements and complex renovations. Our services are designed to cover every phase of a commercial build under one roof.

General Contracting

We serve as the primary general contractor on projects ranging from 5,000 square feet to over 100,000 square feet. We manage subcontractors, coordinate inspections, track budgets, and deliver final turnover packages. Clients work with one point of contact from start to finish.

Commercial Construction and Ground-Up Builds

Our team handles site work, concrete foundations, structural framing, MEP coordination, and exterior envelope work. We have completed ground-up commercial construction projects across Houston including retail centers, office parks, and industrial facilities.

Tenant Improvements and Interior Build-Outs

We build out commercial interiors for retail, medical, professional office, and food service clients. Tenant improvement projects require tight scheduling and coordination with landlords, and we have the systems to manage that complexity without disrupting neighboring tenants.

Residential Remodeling for Builders and Contractors

RJT Construction also supports residential contractors and builders with large-scale remodeling projects. Whether you need a reliable subcontracting partner or a full general contracting relationship, we bring the same project management discipline to residential work that we apply to commercial builds.

Project Management Services

Some clients need project management support without full general contracting. We offer standalone project management services including schedule tracking, budget oversight, contractor coordination, and owner representation. Learn more about our project management offerings.

Industries and Clients We Build For in Houston

Houston commercial construction spans a wide range of industries. Our clients include commercial property managers, regional developers, national retailers, healthcare providers, and local business owners ready to build or expand.

Retail and Restaurant

We have delivered retail build-outs and restaurant construction projects across Houston and Harris County. Retail construction demands fast turnaround and precision finish work. We have the subcontractor network to move at the pace retail timelines require.

Medical and Healthcare Facilities

Medical construction comes with strict code compliance requirements and infection control protocols during renovation work. Our team has direct experience building and remodeling medical office buildings and outpatient facilities across Texas.

Industrial and Warehouse

Houston's position as a logistics and energy hub means warehouse and industrial construction is always in demand. We build tilt-wall and metal building structures with concrete slab work suited to heavy equipment loads and industrial use.

Office and Professional Space

From small professional office suites to multi-tenant Class B and Class C office buildings, we handle the full scope of office construction and renovation across Greater Houston.

Our Process: From Early Budget to Final Turnover

Most Houston commercial clients come to us with a site, a concept, and a budget question. Here is exactly what happens after you reach out.

Step 1: Initial Consultation and Scope Review

We start with a direct conversation about your project. We ask about site conditions, intended use, rough square footage, timeline, and budget range. This call takes about 30 minutes and gives us what we need to prepare a meaningful response.

Step 2: Preliminary Budget and Bid

Based on your scope, we prepare a detailed preliminary budget. We itemize major cost categories including site work, concrete, structural systems, MEP, and finishes. We also flag any Houston-specific factors that may affect cost, such as soil conditions in Harris County or flood zone requirements.

Step 3: Contract and Onboarding

Once we align on budget and scope, we execute a clear contract. No vague allowances or buried contingencies. We walk every client through the contract before signing. Onboarding includes an introduction to your dedicated project manager and a kickoff meeting to confirm schedule milestones.

Step 4: Build and Communication

During construction, you receive regular schedule updates and budget reports. You have direct access to your project manager at all times. We track subcontractor performance and hold weekly on-site coordination meetings.

Step 5: Final Turnover

We deliver a complete turnover package that includes as-built drawings, warranty documentation, inspection certificates, and a punch list resolution log. You get a building that is ready to occupy and fully documented.

Why Houston Businesses Choose RJT Construction

There are hundreds of contractors in the Houston market. Here is what separates RJT Construction from the field.

• Transparent pricing: We provide itemized budgets, not lump-sum guesses. You always know where your money is going.
• Subcontractor vetting: We maintain a vetted network of Houston-area subcontractors. Every sub on our projects carries proper licensing and insurance. We do not hand off your project to unknown crews.
• Self-perform capabilities: On select scopes including concrete flatwork and project management, we self-perform rather than subcontract. This keeps quality high and reduces cost.
• Schedule discipline: We use project management software to track every milestone. When a risk to the schedule appears, we address it before it becomes a delay.
• Houston-specific knowledge: From soil bearing conditions in Harris County to flood zone compliance and hurricane tie-down requirements, we build for this market by design.

A recent client, a commercial property manager overseeing multiple Houston locations, described RJT this way: "They gave us a budget on day one and hit it. That does not happen often with contractors in this market. We have used them on three buildings since 2023 and will use them again."
