Murphy & Sons, Inc. is a full-service commercial construction company based in Southaven, Mississippi, and licensed to build in Alabama. Since 1977, we have helped business owners, developers, and institutions across the Mid-South move from an early idea to a finished building. If you are planning a commercial project in Alabama, we offer one steady team and one point of contact from the first conversation to completion. Our tagline says it plainly: Creating Centers for Business Success.
A Commercial Construction Company Alabama Owners Can Rely On
Alabama is a varied place to build. The state runs from the Tennessee Valley in the north to the Gulf Coast in the south, and each region has its own character.
- Huntsville and the surrounding Tennessee Valley are known for technology, aerospace, and defense-related work.
- Birmingham is the state's largest metropolitan area, with a long history in healthcare, finance, and industry.
- Montgomery is the state capital and a center of government activity.
- Mobile is a port city with a deep connection to shipping and maritime trades.
Each setting brings different demands for site conditions, schedule planning, and the kind of facility that will help a business succeed.
Murphy & Sons was organized on June 18, 1977, and has grown into a diverse general contractor capable of handling the industry's needs. We are licensed in Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Louisiana, which allows us to serve clients throughout the region from our home office on Corporate Drive in Southaven. For Alabama clients, that means a contractor with decades of experience who is properly licensed to work in the state.
Reaching Alabama from the Mid-South
Our home base in Southaven sits in the northwest corner of Mississippi, close to the Tennessee line and the Memphis metro area. Alabama shares a long border with Mississippi, and interstate corridors such as I-22 link Birmingham with northeast Mississippi and the Memphis region. Business owners in northern and central Alabama often work with partners, suppliers, and customers on both sides of that border. A contractor familiar with the whole Mid-South can be a real advantage.
Our divisional offices throughout the Mid-South also handle various petroleum industry related projects. That regional footprint reflects how we operate: close to our clients and familiar with the territory.
Commercial Construction Services for Alabama Projects
As a general contractor, we offer commercial and industrial construction management, site analysis, preliminary design, concrete, permits, and quality control. These are organized into several service lines that Alabama clients can use alone or together.
Construction Management
Construction management works well for complex projects or for projects where every decision cannot be made upfront. Your manager shares knowledge about materials, schedule, and cost as the design moves forward, which supports clear communication and early trust. Our team provides project safety and supervision on the worksite and checks in on your progress.
Design-Build
Our design-build process streamlines the often-fragmented design, engineering, and construction phases. Owners, architects, builders, and engineers collaborate from the start, which can reduce costs, speed up schedules, and improve efficiency. You also gain a single point of responsibility.
Preconstruction
Good planning protects a budget. In preconstruction, we work with you to assess risks and objectives, provide strategic assessments, and recommend the best approach to your project. Regular communication among the contractor, architects, engineers, and designers helps avoid rework and keep goals on target.
Project Management
As project manager, we coordinate planning, design, procurement, construction, and commissioning. This helps control costs, maintain scope, and increase efficiency, whether the work is a single project or multiple sites.
Special Projects
Not every project fits a standard category. Our Special Projects Group provides turnkey solutions on projects from $100,000 to $5 million. Examples include building expansions, office renovations, senior care updates, and the installation of guardrails or bollards.
Planning for Alabama Conditions
Every region has its own construction considerations, and Alabama is no exception. The state's climate is warm and humid, with heavy rain possible in any season. Gulf Coast communities also prepare for tropical weather. Soil conditions vary across the state, so a careful site analysis early in the process helps your team understand what the ground will support before design decisions are final.
These realities are why we encourage early involvement. Site analysis, preliminary design, and permitting are all part of our work, and addressing them before construction begins helps prevent delays and unexpected costs. Our one-on-one approach lets us understand your needs from the start and mitigate issues before they arise.
Experience You Can Point To
Our project gallery shows the range of work we have completed in the Mid-South. It includes the Southaven FEMA Shelter, the Snowden Grove Tennis Courts, the Snowden Grove Soccer Complex, the Snowden Grove Pedestrian Bridge, NWCC Calhoun Hall, Itawamba Community College Student Services, and the Desoto Central High School Addition. These public, educational, and recreational facilities show the kind of detailed, deadline-driven work we bring to every client.
Our leadership team brings long experience as well. David G. Murphy, our President, has 48 years of commercial and industrial service, and our vice presidents, Garrett Murphy and Wesley Hutcheson, bring 28 and 21 years of experience.
Our Commitment to Alabama Clients
Our mission is to deliver the highest level of quality construction services at fair, market-competitive prices. We build our business on repeat and referral work, earned through timeliness, attention to detail, and service-minded attitudes. We hold ourselves to professionalism, integrity, honesty, and fairness in our relationships with suppliers, subcontractors, and customers. Our projects range from $100,000 to $50 million, and we guarantee personalized service whatever the size.
