What to settle early
Who carries the risk
With a general contract, Harrison holds the subcontracts and is accountable to you for the whole job. You have one point of contact and one schedule.
When to bring us in
The earlier the better. Our pre-construction services (due diligence, estimating, value engineering, constructability review) are most useful before the lease is signed or the drawings are final.
How you stay informed
Regular progress meetings and electronic reports keep the owner involved from the first site visit to the final punch list. We aim to be upfront about budgets, schedules and obstacles.
Harrison Construction started in 2011 with interior finish-out work and later set up a ground-up division, so the same team can take a project from a shell space or a bare pad to opening day. We are fully bonded and insured and licensed in Texas and other states.
- Site visit and review of the construction documents
- Conceptual estimate, value engineering and a development schedule
- Bidding and subcontractor qualification, then permitting
- Mobilization, construction meetings, safety and electronic reports
- Final details, punch list and close-out documents

What does a commercial general contractor do?
A general contractor takes responsibility for the whole construction project: pricing it, pulling permits, hiring and scheduling the trade subcontractors, managing safety and quality, and closing the project out with the owner.
