Commercial Construction
McRae builds and improves offices, retail spaces, restaurants, medical facilities, and public-facing properties that need to work well every day and hold up over time.
Design-Build Construction
Design-build gives owners one connected path from early planning through construction. We help keep design, pricing, schedule, and field work aligned so clients can make smart decisions before problems become expensive.
Build-to-Suit Development
We help owners and operators create custom facilities when an existing building does not fit the business. From site needs and access to storage, office space, workflow, and future growth, we help shape the project around how the property will be used.
Industrial Construction
Industrial projects need strong planning around workflow, storage, loading, truck access, equipment, utilities, and future expansion. We build facilities that support the operation instead of forcing the business to work around the building.
Site Development
A building project can lose time before construction starts if the property is not ready. We help prepare commercial and industrial sites with access, grading, drainage, utilities, parking, loading, storage, and long-term use in mind.
Land Development
Good land decisions shape the full project. We help owners, developers, and investors review property fit, access, utility needs, drainage, building placement, storage, and growth potential before major costs are locked in.
Structural Concrete
Concrete work affects the building, schedule, equipment, and long-term use of the property. We handle structural concrete for commercial and industrial projects where slabs, foundations, footings, pads, and loading areas need careful planning.
Deep Foundation
Some projects need support below standard footings. We help plan deep foundation work for commercial, industrial, public-use, aquatic, renovation, and expansion projects where soil conditions, heavy loads, or site limits require deeper support.
Tenant Improvements
A leased space does not help the business until it is ready to open. We help tenants, landlords, property managers, and owners turn shell spaces, older interiors, offices, medical suites, retail spaces, restaurants, and service locations into usable business spaces.
Light Industrial Construction
Light industrial buildings need the right mix of office, shop, warehouse, yard, loading, storage, and truck access. We help owner-users, developers, service companies, contractors, warehouse users, and small manufacturers build facilities that support the workday.
Home Renovation and Remodeling
For larger residential projects, older-home updates, additions, and whole-home changes, We help property owners plan work that needs more care than a quick repair. We focus on layout, structure, hidden issues, schedule, and how the home will work after the project is done.
