We were organized on June 18, 1977, and have grown into a diverse general contractor that can handle the construction industry's needs. Our tagline, Creating Centers for Business Success, describes what we aim to deliver: well-built facilities that help your business succeed. This page outlines the commercial construction services we offer from our Corporate Drive office and how each one supports your project.
A Full-Service General Contractor for Commercial Clients
Commercial projects involve many moving parts, including design, engineering, permitting, procurement, concrete work, scheduling, and quality control. When these pieces are handled by separate parties, communication can break down and costs can climb.
Our approach is to give you a single, experienced team and one point of contact from the first conversation through completion.
As a general contractor, we provide:
- Industrial and commercial construction management
- Site analysis
- Preliminary design
- Concrete
- Permits
- Quality control
We also maintain divisional offices in various locations throughout the Mid-South, which handle a variety of petroleum industry related projects. We are licensed in Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Louisiana.

Our Core Commercial Construction Services
Our work is organized into five main service areas. Each can stand alone or work together, depending on what your project needs.
-
01
Construction Management
Construction management works well for complex projects, or for projects where every decision cannot be made up front. As your design develops, your manager keeps you informed about material selection, schedule, and cost. This collaboration builds trust early, reduces conflict, and gives you transparency and control. On the worksite, we provide project safety measures and supervision, and we check in on your progress to confirm your goals are being met.
-
02
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 lead to creative solutions that reduce costs, speed up schedules, and improve efficiency. Because one team holds responsibility, you save time and money and deal with a single point of contact throughout.
-
03
Preconstruction
We take part in the planning process rather than only managing a project once it begins. Our specialists provide strategic assessments, evaluate risks and objectives, and recommend the best approach for your project. When the general contractor, architects, engineers, and designers work together before construction, it helps avoid rework, keep goals on target, build buy-in, and hold the project to its budget.
-
04
Project Management
Complex projects can be time-consuming to manage, and goals often shift. We partner with you to coordinate planning, design, procurement, construction, and commissioning. This helps control costs, maintain scope, improve efficiency, and reach your objectives. We manage everything from single construction projects to multiple-site projects.
-
05
Special Projects
Not every project fits a standard category. Our Special Projects Group gives unique projects focused attention, with turnkey solutions for projects ranging from $100,000 to $5 million. We focus on flexibility, efficiency, organization, cost, sensitivity, and personalized service. Typical examples include senior care facility updates, building expansions, guardrail or bollard installation, and office renovations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which service should I start with if I am not sure what my project needs?
Start with a conversation. Projects that are complex or not fully defined often benefit from preconstruction planning or construction management, while a unique, smaller project may suit our Special Projects Group. One of our specialists can review your goals and recommend the best approach.
What does the Special Projects Group handle?
The group handles projects that do not fall into preset categories, offering turnkey solutions from $100,000 to $5 million. Examples include senior care facility updates, building expansions, guardrail or bollard installation, and office renovations.
What does preconstruction planning include?
Preconstruction brings the contractor, architects, engineers, and designers together before building starts. It includes strategic assessments, risk and objective reviews, scheduling, and budget development, so the team can catch problems early and avoid rework.
Does Murphy & Sons build industrial facilities as well as commercial ones?
Yes. Our general contractor services include both commercial and industrial construction management. Our divisional offices throughout the Mid-South also handle various petroleum industry related projects.
What does commissioning mean in project management?
Commissioning is the final phase, in which a building's systems are tested and verified to work as intended before turnover. In our project management service, we coordinate planning, design, procurement, construction, and commissioning so each phase leads smoothly into the next.
Can Murphy & Sons manage both single-site and multiple-site projects?
Yes. Our project management services cover everything from a single construction project to projects spanning multiple sites, with coordinated oversight throughout.
What on-site safety and supervision can I expect?
We provide project safety measures and supervision on the worksite. We also check in on your progress to make sure your goals are being met.
What is preliminary design, and how does it fit into a project?
Preliminary design is the early stage in which a project's basic layout, scope, and approach are defined, before detailed drawings are finalized. Because we offer it alongside site analysis, permits, and construction, early decisions can reflect real-world building considerations.
How does Murphy & Sons help prevent overspending?
We help control costs by maintaining scope, coordinating each phase, and identifying issues early. In preconstruction, a budget is developed and reviewed by team members throughout each phase. Our one-on-one approach also lets us mitigate problems before they become costly.
Does Murphy & Sons handle concrete work?
Yes. Concrete is one of the areas we handle as a general contractor, along with site analysis, preliminary design, permits, quality control, and industrial and commercial construction management.
