Houston's trusted
Commercial General Contractor

Attention in the detail

From the outside, you see a beautiful building. Everything beneath that required hours of planning, designing and management before the construction even began. Acoustic insulation for animal hospitals due to howling barks, high-capacity water supply lines for medical spas to manage specialized treatments, modular layouts for private schools and campuses to maximize space - these are the jobs we have constructed from start to finish and can guide you while you build your next construction project.

We are not the cheapest bid. At K Austin & Associates, we do our best to offer the most honest one. We price every project based on what will actually work reliably for your build, not the cheapest shortcut. For instance, we won't quote a bare-minimum HVAC unit that will fail under Houston’s summer heat just to make our bid look cheaper. Instead, we baseline realistic, code-compliant equipment that meets your true operational needs, then work with you directly if you want to upgrade specific items.

Additionally, no commercial project runs perfectly: the water main is not where the drawings say it is, a first-generation space turns out to need a stormwater retention pond, or the City of Houston changes the flood zone requirements. When that happens, the contractor who forgot the line item cannot absorb it, so the cost lands on you, mid-build, when you have no funds left. Our team gives you an honest baseline from day one, and we tell you where the risk sits before you sign so you aren't left stranded when it matters most.

With over 23 years of experience building with renowned Houston businesses like the Berkeley Eye Center, the Lone Star Flight Museum, and Transwestern, K Austin & Associates offers an honest, competitive bid we can proudly stand behind.

We build for people who run a business, not a construction department. Select what you are building to learn more about how we serve your industry, our past projects, and what to expect.

Send the drawings if you have them, or just describe the space. We will tell you what it takes, what it is likely to cost, and where the surprises usually hide.
