What we build

Every type of commercial
project in DFW.

Ground-Up Commercial

Site work, foundations, structural steel or CMU, MEP rough-ins, finish-out — permitted and inspected through city CO. We self-perform all core trades.

Retail Redevelopment

Shell conversions, suite expansions, and dark-box repositioning. We understand retail timelines and franchise spec packages from Whataburger to regional operators.

Restaurant & Food Service

Hood and grease exhaust, Type I/II ventilation, walk-in coolers, floor drains, and health department inspections. We have done it for 20+ restaurant builds in DFW.

Multi-Family & Townhouse

Mid-density residential and townhouse projects — common-area amenities, fire separation walls, accessible unit design, and HOA infrastructure.

Tenant Improvement (TI)

Full build-outs in leased shell space. We coordinate with your landlord, architect, and city for permits and certificate of occupancy on your timeline.

Permitting & City Coordination

We handle permit submissions, variance requests, and city coordination in every DFW municipality — including fire marshal and health department approvals.

Why Zencore for commercial

Commercial projects fail on coordination, not materials.

One GC, every trade

We self-perform framing, concrete, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and finish carpentry. No sub-to-sub handoffs that add weeks and inflate costs.

DFW permitting experience

We know the plan review process in Dallas, Fort Worth, Frisco, Plano, McKinney, and every DFW suburb. We submit complete packages the first time and respond to comments within 24 hours.

Transparent project management

Daily logs, weekly owner meetings, and a shared schedule. You always know exactly where the project stands and what is coming in the next two weeks.

How it works

Pre-construction to CO.

01
Pre-Construction

Site analysis, permit pre-application, subcontractor bidding, and guaranteed max price before a shovel hits the ground.

02
Permitting

We submit permit packages, respond to plan review comments, and track every approval so your project stays on schedule.

03
Construction

Daily progress logs, weekly owner meetings, and real-time documentation of RFIs, submittals, and change orders.

04
CO & Closeout

Final city inspections, certificate of occupancy, lien releases, and as-built drawings delivered at closeout.

Common questions

Commercial construction FAQ

Do you handle both the building permit and health or fire department approvals?

Yes. Commercial projects often require coordination with multiple city departments — building, fire marshal, health (for food service), and sometimes engineering review. We manage all of it under one permit package submission.

Can you work on occupied retail centers or mixed-use buildings?

We do phased construction in occupied buildings regularly. We sequence work to minimize disruption, maintain fire egress throughout, and coordinate with center management and adjacent tenants.

What does a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) contract look like with Zencore?

We establish the GMP after completing design development drawings and a full subcontractor bid package. You see every line item. If we bring the project under budget, savings are split — we do not pocket them.

How long does a typical TI build-out take?

A simple 3,000 sq ft retail suite runs 8–12 weeks from permit approval. A complex restaurant build-out with full commercial kitchen, hood system, and health department sign-off runs 16–24 weeks. We provide a detailed schedule before signing.

Are you licensed for commercial work in Texas?

Yes. Zencore Homes holds a Texas General Contractor license and we carry commercial general liability, workers compensation, and builder's risk insurance. We can provide certificates of insurance to your landlord or lender the same day.
