General Contracting Services Built Around Your Project
A project deserves more than a busy contractor that can build. It needs a team that understands your unique property, schedule, budget, people, and foresees issues that can slow everything down. We plan the work around how the space needs to function, then champion your plan from field execution to clear communication.
General Commercial Construction
We build offices, retail spaces, restaurants, healthcare facilities, and commercial buildings planned for efficiency, quality, and long-term performance.
Design-Build Construction
You bring the vision — we handle the rest. Our team works with you on the design and budget from day one, then carries it through construction, all under one roof.
Build-to-Suit Development
Customize the to meet the operations, workflow, employees, and future growth.
Industrial Construction
Industrial construction requires careful planning around equipment, production, storage, truck access, utilities, and safety so your facility can grow with efficient day-to-day operations.
Site
Development
Site development lays the groundwork for a smoother build. We prepare properties with grading, drainage, utilities, access roads, parking, and infrastructure designed for long-term performance and building efficiency.
Land
Development
Land development starts with smart planning. We evaluate property conditions, utilities, access, drainage, building placement, and future growth before construction begins.
Remodels
Take your existing space to the next level with a fresh, upgraded look and function.
Deep
Foundation
Deep foundation systems provide reliable support when soil conditions, heavy loads, site limits, or structural needs exceed the limits of standard footings.
Tenant
Improvements
Tenant improvements transform shell spaces and existing commercial interiors into functional, code-compliant environments that are ready to meet the function of the business.
Light Industrial Construction
Light industrial construction combines warehouse, office, shop, storage, loading, and yard space into facilities designed for efficient operations and future expansion. Distribution and warehousing, inventory and racking
Why Choose McRae Enterprises
Our Way
For more than 20 years, We have built commercial, industrial, land development, and retrofitting projects by focusing on the details that shape the outcome before work reaches the field.
We believe a strong project starts with a clear plan, a detailed proposal, and a team willing to take responsibility. If something gets missed, we do not hide behind excuses. We own it, fix it, and keep the project moving.
Risk Mitigation
One of the biggest mistakes we see is waiting too long to identify project risks. A building can look ready until electrical service, drainage, access, code requirements, or hidden conditions change the plan.
We look and identify those issues early, so you can make better decisions before they become field problems.
True Advocacy
You should not pay for a contractor’s mistake. If our team causes the issue, we take responsibility for the fix.
That is what “No Surprises, No Excuses” means in practice. It is not a slogan. It is how trust gets protected when the stakes are real.
Speed Without Cutting Corners
Fast work only matters if it is done right. We use pre-construction planning, project readiness, and active field coordination to reduce avoidable delays without sacrificing quality.
Repeat Relationships
51% of our work comes from repeat business. That happens because our customers know they can count on us to be here, year after year, project after project.
Construction Transparency
You get peace of mind with real-time jobsite visibility through OxBlue cameras, direct reporting and regular meetings. This means fewer unknowns, faster decisions, and a clearer view of what is happening on site.
Our General Contracting Process
The best projects do not start in the field. They start with a tighter front end.
Project Discovery
We start with the property, schedule, budget, operating needs, and pressure points that can affect the project later.
Pre-Construction Planning
We review scope, scheduling, project risks, and key decisions early, so the work does not start with avoidable gaps.
Project Readiness
We keep approvals, coordination, and critical decisions moving before they become jobsite delays.
Construction and Communication
We manage the work with active oversight, direct updates, and steady accountability from the field.
Closeout and Support
We finish the details, complete the handoff, and stand behind the work with an 18-month warranty.

Can you work in occupied buildings without shutting everything down?
Yes. We operate around your staff, customers, tenants, access points, deliveries, and daily building use so your business can move forward with as little disruption as possible.
Can your team get involved before plans are finished?
Yes. Early involvement can help with scope, budgeting, planning, scheduling, and coordination before construction starts.
What types of projects are the best fit?
We are a strong fit for offices, retail spaces, restaurants, medical facilities, industrial buildings, public-facing properties, tenant build-outs, renovations, expansions, and site development.
Do you help with permits and project coordination?
Yes. We stay close to approvals, scope decisions, scheduling, and readiness so the project can keep moving toward fieldwork.
How do you reduce cost creep?
It starts with a tighter scope, a detailed proposal, and stronger pre-construction planning before the project reaches the field.
What happens after the project is complete?
We complete final details, support the handoff, and stand behind the finished work with an 18-month warranty.
