Our tagline is "Creating Centers for Business Success."
Murphy & Sons, Inc. was organized on June 18, 1977, and it is licensed in Mississippi as well as Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee and Louisiana. Mississippi is where we are based, so the state is central to how we work.
A Mississippi Contractor Based in Southaven
Southaven sits in DeSoto County, in the northwest corner of the state, directly south of the Tennessee line. It is part of the greater Memphis metropolitan area and has some of the strongest commercial growth in Mississippi. Major routes such as Interstate 55 connect the area to Memphis to the north and to Jackson and the Gulf Coast to the south. These routes make it practical to move crews, materials and equipment across the state.
Our office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Owners, developers and facility managers can reach us by phone at 662-393-3130 or by email at info@murphyandsons.com.

Building in Mississippi: What Owners Should Know
Mississippi is a varied state, and good planning accounts for that. Conditions in the Delta, the hill country, the Jackson area and the Gulf Coast are not the same. Soil, drainage, flood exposure and wind requirements differ from region to region. Summers are hot and humid, and rainfall can be heavy. Weather is a real factor in site work and concrete scheduling, and storm-resistant design matters in many parts of the state.
Local jurisdictions also have their own permitting and review processes. Cities and counties across Mississippi may differ in how they handle plan review, inspections and approvals. Our team handles permits as part of our general contracting services, which helps owners avoid delays and surprises.
For these reasons, we encourage Mississippi owners to involve a contractor early. Our preconstruction approach brings the general contractor, architects, engineers and designers together before construction begins. Meetings and reviews during planning help avoid re-work, keep schedule goals on target and keep the budget visible to every team member.
One-on-One Service From Start to Finish
Every Mississippi client receives a one-on-one approach. One of our specialists guides you through each step of your project and helps you address potential issues before they become problems. In our experience, early attention to detail is the best way to protect your time and your money.
Our mission is to deliver the highest level of quality construction at fair, market-competitive prices. We aim to earn repeat and referral business through timeliness, attention to detail and a service-minded attitude. We also hold ourselves to high standards of professionalism, integrity, honesty and fairness with our suppliers, subcontractors and customers.

How long has Murphy & Sons been building in Mississippi?
Murphy & Sons, Inc. was organized on June 18, 1977. Since then we have grown into a diverse construction company that has served clients across the Mid-South. That history gives us a long record of commercial and industrial work.
Does Murphy & Sons build schools and public facilities?
Yes. Our project gallery includes the DeSoto Central High School Addition, NWCC Calhoun Hall, Itawamba Community College Student Services and the Southaven FEMA Shelter. It also includes the Snowden Grove tennis courts, soccer complex and pedestrian bridge. These projects show our range across educational, community and recreational construction.
Why does local knowledge matter for a Mississippi commercial project?
Soil conditions, drainage, weather and local permitting can vary a great deal from one part of Mississippi to another. A contractor familiar with these factors can plan schedules more realistically and avoid avoidable delays. Being based in Southaven and serving the Mid-South since 1977 gives us practical experience with these conditions.
Does Murphy & Sons handle building permits?
Yes. Permits are among the services we provide as a general contractor, alongside site analysis, preliminary design, concrete and quality control. Handling permits as part of the project helps keep approvals coordinated with design and construction.
How does Mississippi weather affect a construction schedule?
Heavy rain, summer heat and humidity, and severe storms can all affect site work and concrete placement. Building weather allowances into the schedule from the start is the most reliable way to manage them. Our preconstruction planning gives owners and project teams a chance to review and adjust the timeline before construction begins.
When should I contact a general contractor for a Mississippi project?
The earlier the better. Involving a contractor during planning lets the team assess risks, review budgets and choose the best approach before costly decisions are locked in. Our specialists can help from conception to completion.
