Commercial Construction Plano
Streets & Sidewalks in Plano, TX
Full-service general contractor delivering streets & sidewalks for developers, property owners, and facility managers across North Texas. Direct communication, single-source accountability, and 20+ years of commercial construction experience.
Commercial streets and sidewalks provide essential infrastructure for business parks, retail developments, and industrial campuses throughout North Texas. As your general contractor, we construct complete streetscape systems—from roadway base and pavement through curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and pedestrian features—coordinating with utility installations and building construction for cohesive site development.
Street and sidewalk construction for commercial developments requires coordination with multiple agencies and utilities. Municipal standards dictate pavement thickness, curb profiles, and sidewalk widths. ADA requirements govern accessible routes, curb ramps, and pedestrian crossings. Utility companies must coordinate water, sewer, gas, electric, and telecom installations. Our project managers navigate these requirements ensuring construction meets all applicable codes.
Pavement design for commercial streets must accommodate anticipated traffic including delivery trucks, service vehicles, and employee traffic. Loading conditions differ significantly from residential streets. North Texas clay soils require proper subgrade preparation. Drainage must handle area runoff while maintaining street functionality. We design and construct streets engineered for commercial use patterns.
For developers and property owners, street and sidewalk quality affects property marketability and long-term maintenance costs. Well-constructed infrastructure enhances development appeal. Proper drainage prevents street flooding. ADA-compliant pedestrian facilities avoid legal liability. We deliver streetscape infrastructure that supports property operations and values.

Streets & Sidewalks FAQs
What are typical requirements for commercial development streets?
Commercial streets typically require thicker pavement than residential (8-10 inch concrete or 6-7 inch asphalt over base) to handle truck traffic. Street width depends on parking and traffic lanes per municipal standards. Curb and gutter required for drainage. Sidewalks minimum 5 feet wide, 6 feet in retail areas. All work must meet city standards and ADA requirements.
How long does street and sidewalk construction take?
Timeline depends on development size. A business park with 2,000 linear feet of streets might take 8-12 weeks including utilities, pavement, and sidewalks. Weather significantly impacts schedules. Work typically proceeds in phases as development progresses. We coordinate timing with building construction.
Do commercial streets require permits and inspections?
Yes. Street construction requires approval from city engineering department. Utility installations need permits from respective utility companies. Pavement and sidewalk work inspected by city during and after construction. Bond release may require 1-2 year warranty period. We handle all permit coordination and inspections.
Can streets be built while buildings are under construction?
Yes. Streets and utilities are typically installed before or during vertical construction. Temporary access roads may be needed during building construction with final pavement installed after heavy construction traffic ceases. We phase construction to maintain site access while protecting finished work.
