General Contracting Services for Businesses, Property Owners, and Developers
We are not built around one project type.The company works as a general contractorfor commercial jobs that need stronger planning, tighter coordination, and better follow-through than most owners are used to getting.
Commercial Construction
We build and improve offices, retail spaces, restaurants, medical buildings, public-facing properties, and other commercial spaces that need to open on time and work well after the first day. Our team helps owners avoid poor layouts, delayed turnover, and jobsite confusion that can slow a business down.
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.
Why Owners and Developers Choose McRae Enterprises
Our Way
For over 20 years, McRae Enterprises has built a reputation in land development, commercial construction, and commercial retrofittingby doing the work the right way and standing behind it. Clients do not come to McRae looking for polished promises. They come because they need a general contractorthat protects budgets, respects schedules, communicates clearly, and takes responsibility when the stakes are real.
Risk Mitigation For Clients
Commercial projects lose time and money when teams miss key details early. We use stronger planning, better coordination, and better visibility from the start to identify issues early and help clients make better decisions before they become jobsite problems.
True Client Advocacy
We absorb the cost of our own mistakes. If we make a mistake, we fix it. Clients should not have to pay for a contractor’s error. That protects trust and shows exactly how the company handles responsibility.
Speed Without Sacrificing Quality
We use detailed pre-construction planning and proactive problem-solving to eliminate unnecessary delays, keep the work moving, and maintain quality from first coordination through closeout.
High-Trust Partnerships
51% repeat clients. More than half of McRae Enterprises’ work comes from repeat clients because owners and developers know they can count on direct communication, reliable execution, and follow-through.
Construction Transparency
Real-time client access to job sites. We provide jobsite visibility through OxBlue cameras and direct reporting so clients can stay informed and make decisions with confidence.
Our General Contracting Process
The best projects do not start in the field. They start with a tighter front end.
Project Discovery
We start by understanding the property, the schedule, the budget, the operating needs, and the pressure points that can slow the project down.
Detailed Pre-Construction Planning
We review scope, budget, scheduling, and likely challenges early so clients can make smarter decisions before work begins.
Coordination and Project Readiness
We keep planning on track, support approvals, and make sure key decisions happen before they turn into jobsite delays.
Construction and Active Communication
We manage progress with strong field oversight, direct communication, and steady accountability throughout the job.
Closeout and Long-Term Support
We finish the work the right way, address final details, and stand behind the project with an 18-month warranty.
