Commercial Construction & Build-Outs in Central Texas
Central Texas commercial space is filling up fast — the I-35 corridor from Georgetown through Temple keeps adding medical, retail, and service businesses that need space finished right and opened on time.
Slickrock Development delivers commercial work with the same discipline we bring to our homes: a real budget before you sign a lease amendment, a construction schedule tied to your opening date, and a principal — not a project coordinator — walking your job.

What We Take On
Scope of Work
Tenant Build-Outs
Interior finish-outs for offices, clinics, retail, and restaurants — demising walls, mechanical, finishes, and the certificate of occupancy, delivered against your lease timeline.
Ground-Up Commercial
Small-footprint commercial buildings from site work through shell and finish-out, managed under one contract with one accountable builder.
Commercial Remodels
Refreshes and reconfigurations of existing space — done in phases when your business can't afford to close, sequenced so revenue keeps flowing.
Additions & Expansions
When the business outgrows the building: engineered additions that match the existing structure and meet current code without over-building the budget.
Why schedule control matters more in commercial
On a commercial job the meter runs twice — construction cost on one side, rent and lost revenue on the other. Every idle week on the schedule is money out of your operating account, which is why we build the schedule backward from your opening date and manage trades to it daily.
Budgets get the same treatment: line-item estimates, allowances in writing, and change orders priced before the work happens. You'll never learn about a cost at invoice time.
We're builders first. That means the slab, the frame, and the mechanical systems behind your finishes get the same scrutiny as the parts your customers see.
Where we work
We serve Bell and Williamson County from our home base in Temple — including Temple, Belton, Salado, and Georgetown. See the standard we build to on our projects page and in the photo gallery.
FAQ
Straight Answers
Do you work with landlords' TI allowances?
Yes — we price the build-out against the allowance before you finalize the lease whenever possible, so the gap between the two is known while you can still negotiate it.
Can you finish out space while the center stays open?
Yes. Occupied-center work means dust control, protected walkways, and coordinated hours — standard practice for us.
Who handles the certificate of occupancy?
We do. Permits, inspections, and the CO are part of the job — opening day is the deliverable, not just the punch list.
What does a build-out cost per square foot?
Basic office and vanilla-box work starts around $40–$75/sq ft; standard retail runs $75–$140; restaurants and medical run $140–$250+. Our commercial build-out cost guide breaks it down honestly.
