Design-Build
We carry the design and the construction together, from concept through certificate of occupancy.
Family Design-Build Since The 1970s
Exceptional design-build for the buildings Texas runs on
Boatman Construction is a third-generation, family-owned commercial general contractor in Tomball. We hire the architects and the engineers ourselves, so you get one accountable team from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.

About Us
A family name on the truck, and on the reputation
Shane D. Boatman is the second generation and his son is the third. They own the company together, fifty-fifty, and they both still walk the sites. Shane's father was an architect and a builder, which is why drawing a building and putting it up under one roof is simply how this family has always worked.
- Design-build under one contract
- Owners on every job site
- Fifty-plus years of experience
- Integrity, trust, and honesty

A behind the scenes look at how we work
From the first conversation to the final walkthrough, one family-run team owns the outcome. Fewer meetings, fewer surprises, faster timelines.
One Team, One Contract
We hire the architects and engineers, so drawings and construction never work against each other.
Owners On The Job
Call us and you reach the family whose name is on the building, not a fifth layer of management.
We Build The Unusual
Surgical suites, water parks, athletic facilities, and yes, six yurts in Tomball. If it can be built, we build it.
What We Build
Commercial construction services for every need
Build-to-suit, ground-up development, tilt wall, metal, medical, athletic, education, senior care, and residential by request. Statewide across Texas.
Tilt Wall & Metal Buildings
Concrete panels poured on the slab and stood up, or a pre-engineered metal shell built to last.
Medical & Surgical Centers
Sterile suites, imaging, orthopedic and recovery space built to the code and to the doctor's workflow.
Our Process
A structured process for outstanding results
Our streamlined process keeps every project moving with precision, collaboration, and one accountable team from concept to completion.
01
Meet And Consult
A footprint, a budget, a hunch. We start with a conversation, not a contract.
02
Planning And Design
We hire the architects and engineers. One team, one set of drawings, no finger pointing.
03
Proceed Construction
Design and construction overlap, so permits, steel, and slab all move together.
04
Project Handover
One phone number for the whole job, right through to the day you open the doors.
Featured Project
The Better Baseball facility on Highway 99
First of its kind in Texas and the only one in the United States. The sign went up on Hwy 99 and within three hours it had gone viral. For a family shop out of Tomball, that is a proud afternoon, and it is the clearest answer we have to the question we hear most: can you build something nobody has built before?

Safety First
Everybody on our site is somebody's family
Safety is not a binder we keep in the trailer. It is how we get every crew member home to their own dinner table. Safety, quality, and productivity, in that order, on every job we run.
