Tenant Finish Out
We finish out retail and commercial spaces as one job: roofing, HVAC, polished concrete, drywall, insulation, doors, cabinets and countertops. One company manages every trade from the bare shell to the finished space.

Commercial new construction is a new building on open ground, or an addition that makes an existing building bigger. Bankston's Builders does commercial construction for owners and developers around Fort Worth and the Dallas-Fort Worth area. We build shell buildings, retail and office buildings, warehouses and shops, and expansions of existing buildings.
As the commercial general contractor, we run the job from the dirt work and the pad to the finished building. Your architect and engineer draw the plans, and we build to them. We manage the mechanical and electrical trades, and our heavy-equipment dirt work runs on the same schedule as the building. Call or text (214) 557-5106, and we look at the plans and put the quote in writing.

Every commercial building starts with the ground under it. The site gets cleared and graded, and the building pad is cut and filled to the plan grades. Then the pad is compacted in lifts to the targets in the geotechnical report. Our site preparation work builds that pad from raw ground to finished grade.
The foundation and the slab go on the finished pad, built to the structural engineer's design. Our concrete work covers that slab on the same job. Then the structure goes up to the plans, and the roof closes it in.
With the roof on, the mechanical and electrical trades start their work inside. We manage those trades and set the order they work in. The finishes go in last, and then the building is ready for its final inspection.
Commercial permits in Fort Worth climbed in 2025. The city's Development Activity Report counts 2,856 commercial building permits that year, up from 2,187 in 2024. That is the highest yearly count in the report's chart, which goes back to 2016. Those permits come from the City of Fort Worth Development Services Department.
A new structure or an addition needs a building permit. The site needs zoning that allows the use, and the property must be platted before anyone applies. A site that disturbs one acre or more also needs a grading permit before any earthmoving. That application calls for sealed civil plans and a stormwater pollution prevention plan.
The city reviews the plans before it issues the permit, then inspects the work throughout the project. A new building also needs a final inspection and a grading certificate before the city issues its certificate of occupancy. A shell building gets no certificate until a separate permit for its commercial tenant finish out is completed. The permit office answers what your project needs, and we build to the approved plans.
An expansion adds space to a building that already stands. The work follows the same order as a new building. The pad and the slab come first, then the structure and the roof. A mezzanine adds floor space inside the building's existing walls.
On a job near Bozeman, Montana, we renovated and expanded a commercial building. New framing added a mezzanine, and the building got a membrane roof and new stucco. A floor pour, a concrete apron, new overhead doors and a new lot were part of the job too.
Data center campuses need the same work at a larger scale. Our data center site work covers the clearing, the pads, the access roads and the conduit trenches. On those projects, the job can run from the pads and the roads to the building and its air conditioning.

(214) 557-5106From the first call or text to the finished work, here is how it goes.
Call or text (214) 557-5106, or send the form. Tell us what the project is, where the land or the building sits and when you need it done.
We go over the tract or the space, the plans and the access for heavy equipment. On dirt work we also look at the ground and where the water runs.
The scope and the price go in writing before any work starts. The quote spells out what gets cleared, cut, built or finished.
Machines and crews come in on the set date. On a dirt job the work runs in order: clearing, the pad or the road, the trenches, then the drainage. On a build, the trades follow the schedule.
The ground is left graded and compacted to the plan, ready for concrete, a building or a rig. On a finish out or a custom home, the work runs through to the finished space.

Building pads for commercial buildings, data centers, oilfield locations and custom homes. We cut and fill to the plan grades and compact each pad in lifts.

We pour concrete slabs and pads on the sites we prepare ourselves. Inside commercial finish outs, we polish the concrete floor.
Learn MoreExcavators, dozers, compactors and skid steers do the work, run by crews with real expertise on each machine. The jobs are sized to match: multi-acre clearing, commercial pads, long roads and oilfield locations.
The pad, the concrete and the building can all run through the same company. A custom home starts on a pad we cut and compacted. A commercial project can go from raw land to a finished tenant space.
Developers, oil and gas operators, data center builders and ranch owners all bring us ground to move. Each site gets its own scope, whether that is a detention pond, a lease road or a campus pad.
