Commercial and industrial construction in Farmers Branch, TX
General Contractors of Irving delivers commercial and industrial general contracting in Farmers Branch with experience in the IH-35E and Midway Road corporate and industrial corridor, DART Green Line transit-accessible development, and office building MEP modernization for the aging commercial inventory that characterizes much of the Farmers Branch office market.
Farmers Branch commercial construction serves the IH-35E and Midway Road corporate office and industrial corridor, with growing demand from the Mercer Business Park area, DART Green Line-accessible mixed-use development near the Farmers Branch station, and corporate campus renovation for the companies that have maintained long-term office presences in this established mid-cities market.

Irving and the DFW corridor with connected submarkets that share the same delivery base.
Farmers Branch is an established mid-cities commercial market positioned at the intersection of IH-35E, Midway Road, and the President George Bush Turnpike — an access configuration that has supported a stable corporate office and industrial presence for decades. Companies including Mary Kay, Kimberly-Clark (before its Las Colinas relocation), Fujitsu, and numerous regional professional services firms have maintained long-term office presences in Farmers Branch, making the city's commercial corridor one of the most established suburban office markets in the DFW mid-cities area. Much of that office inventory was built in the 1980s and 1990s and is now ready for systematic MEP modernization and repositioning to meet current corporate tenant expectations.
The DART Green Line Farmers Branch station has catalyzed transit-oriented development interest in the properties adjacent to the station along Mercer Parkway, with mixed-use residential, hotel, and office development proposals that represent a new construction typology for the Farmers Branch market. Transit-oriented development near DART stations involves City of Farmers Branch design review for ground-floor activation, pedestrian connectivity to the station, and building massing that complies with the transit-oriented development overlay district that the city has established.
Farmers Branch shares Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD with neighboring Carrollton, a large majority-Hispanic school district with capital construction needs similar to Irving ISD and Grand Prairie ISD. CFBISD school construction follows TEA Design Standards and Texas Education Code competitive bidding requirements, with summer window scheduling that controls the construction calendar for school renovation and new campus projects.

Project types
Project Types We Build In Farmers Branch
General Contractors of Irving builds commercial office renovation, DART-adjacent transit-oriented development, industrial facility construction, and Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD school projects throughout the Farmers Branch market.
Common scope
Corporate Office Building MEP Modernization
The 1980s and 1990s office buildings that characterize much of the Farmers Branch commercial inventory are reaching the end of their original MEP system service lives at the same time that corporate tenants are demanding LED lighting retrofits, expanded electrical capacity for EV charging and technology infrastructure, and improved HVAC systems for air quality and energy efficiency. We manage occupied office building MEP modernization in Farmers Branch with the phased construction and temporary system protocols that Fortune 500 and regional corporate tenants require.
Common scope
DART Green Line Transit-Oriented Development
Transit-oriented development near the Farmers Branch DART station involves mixed-use construction — ground-floor retail or restaurant with upper-floor office or residential — that requires City of Farmers Branch transit-oriented design review, structured parking coordination, and construction logistics near an active DART station. We coordinate the City's transit-oriented design standards during preconstruction to confirm building program and exterior design before the permit submission is prepared.
Common scope
Industrial and Flex-Industrial Construction in Farmers Branch
Farmers Branch's industrial areas along IH-35E and the Valwood industrial corridor house distribution, manufacturing, and flex-industrial tenants who value IH-35E access and proximity to the Las Colinas and Carrollton commercial markets. Industrial facility construction and renovation in Farmers Branch requires Blackland Prairie clay foundation management and City of Farmers Branch permit coordination for industrial alteration and expansion projects.
Common scope
Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD School Construction
CFBISD capital construction follows Texas Education Code competitive bidding, TEA Design Standards, and summer window scheduling. The district serves a majority-Hispanic student population and has ongoing bond-funded construction and renovation needs similar to Irving ISD. We build CFBISD school projects with the same public school procurement documentation and mid-August turnover discipline that governs our Irving ISD and Grand Prairie ISD work.

Local considerations
Farmers Branch Construction Planning Considerations
Farmers Branch construction projects involve Blackland Prairie clay foundation conditions similar to Irving, combined with the specific planning requirements of a mature commercial market with significant 1980s and 1990s building stock undergoing modernization.
Planning issue
Asbestos and lead paint abatement for pre-1980 Farmers Branch buildings
Commercial buildings in Farmers Branch constructed before 1980 may contain asbestos-containing materials — floor tile, mastic, pipe insulation, ceiling texture — that require Texas-licensed abatement before renovation construction begins. We coordinate pre-renovation hazardous material surveys and abatement contractor management for Farmers Branch renovation projects in older commercial buildings.
Planning issue
Blackland Prairie clay foundation management
Farmers Branch sits on Blackland Prairie clay with the same seasonal moisture movement characteristics as Irving and Las Colinas. Commercial buildings require drilled pier foundations, and industrial and parking pavement requires lime or cement subgrade stabilization. We apply the same geotechnical coordination to Farmers Branch projects as to our Irving work.
Planning issue
City of Farmers Branch design review for transit-oriented development
Properties near the DART Green Line Farmers Branch station in the city's transit-oriented development overlay district require design review for ground-floor activation, pedestrian connectivity, and building massing. We coordinate the transit-oriented design review during preconstruction to confirm the building program before the City of Farmers Branch permit submission.
Planning issue
IH-35E TxDOT access coordination
Commercial sites with frontage on IH-35E in Farmers Branch require TxDOT driveway access permits. We initiate TxDOT applications early in preconstruction to protect the construction timeline for IH-35E frontage commercial developments.
Scheduling
Scheduling Farmers Branch Construction Projects
Farmers Branch construction schedules are managed with the same framework as our Irving projects, with particular attention to the asbestos abatement timeline for older building renovations — which must be completed before renovation construction begins and adds three to six weeks to the pre-construction phase for pre-1980 buildings.
For occupied office building MEP modernization in Farmers Branch, after-hours and weekend scheduling for invasive construction work extends the project duration compared to vacant building renovation, which must be budgeted and planned from the beginning of the project.
