Design-Build
01.We hire the architects and engineers, then build what they draw.
Tomball, Texas / Since 1972
From first drawing to final walk, we own the whole build.
We hire the architects and engineers, saving owners time and money. One contract, one team, one number to call from dirt work to doors.

Why owners choose us
One team accountable for every line on the page
Boatman Construction has been building in Texas for more than fifty years. Design-build is the difference: we assemble the design team, carry the drawings through permit and hand you a finished building.
One contract. We hire the architects and engineers on your behalf.
Budget and drawings move together, so redesign after bidding disappears.
Second and third generation owners on the job, not just on the letterhead.

Owner feedback
They took our project from a sketch to a finished building without ever handing us off to somebody else.
Boatman handled the architects, the engineers and the permits. We showed up to walk a finished building.
Honest people who take pride in the work. That is rare and it shows in the punch list.
