Headquarters market, most completed work
Houston’s industrial contractor, headquartered here
AP Construction plans and builds warehouses, truck and fleet facilities, and light industrial buildings across the Houston metro from its office on Queensbury Lane.
- Penske Katy Service Center: 20 bays, 140 FT wash, 8 acres of paving
- Dishaka: 108,040 SF tilt-wall on a 9-acre site
- Preconstruction and leadership minutes from the site
Home market, home advantage
Houston is where AP started and where most of its work has been built. The Penske Katy Service Center and Dishaka’s tilt-wall facility are both a short drive from the office. So are the subcontractors in AP’s prequalified database, the suppliers who quote our long-lead items, and the jurisdictions whose review processes we have already been through.
That matters for an owner in a practical way. Leadership can walk a site the same day. Estimates reflect the Houston subcontractor market directly. And the drainage, soils, and permitting questions that shape every Houston-area industrial project are ones the team has answered before.
What Houston owners get from AP
Leadership on site
Executives stay involved through preconstruction and construction, and Houston projects are close enough for that to mean regular site visits.
Local pricing
Estimates built from current Houston-area trade quotes and supplier lead times, leveled in BuildingConnected.
Known jurisdictions
Harris County, Fort Bend County, the City of Houston, and the surrounding cities each reviewed differently. AP maps the right path for each site.

Heavy-duty paving
A 20-bay truck service facility with office and training space, a 140-foot truck wash, and eight acres of heavy-duty paving west of Houston.
Industrial corridors and truck traffic
Houston’s industrial land follows its freeways and its port. Distribution, fleet, and light industrial users cluster along the major corridors on every side of the city, and the sites that serve them see heavy truck traffic from the day they open. That shapes the work: entrances designed for tractor-trailers, queuing that keeps trucks off the public road, paving sections sized for repeated axle loads, and separation between truck and employee traffic.
The Penske Katy Service Center is a case in point. Twenty bays, a 140-foot wash, and eight acres of heavy-duty paving on the west side of the metro, planned so trucks could move between the shop, the wash, and the yard without crossing paths.
Flat sites, drainage, and soils
The Houston area is flat, low, and wet. Detention volume, finished floor elevation, and where the site drains to are the first questions on any industrial parcel, and they decide how much of the site is buildable and how the yard performs in a storm. Soils vary across the region as well, and the geotechnical report drives slab and paving design more than owners expect.
AP brings civil engineers and geotechnical consultants into site review early, so grading, drainage, and utility routing are resolved together and the building footprint and paving are set on real numbers. On Dishaka’s nine-acre site in the Houston area, office, production, and warehouse had to be arranged against one drainage and truck-access plan.
Harris, Fort Bend, and the cities
A Houston-area site may sit inside the City of Houston, inside a surrounding city, or in unincorporated Harris or Fort Bend County. Each has its own plan review, drainage authority, fire review, and inspection process, and utility service can come from a city, a municipal utility district, or a private provider.
During preconstruction AP identifies the specific jurisdiction and agencies for the site, confirms who prepares each submittal, and sets review durations in the schedule. Licensed civil, environmental, and design consultants prepare the applications. AP coordinates the sequence and keeps it moving.
Headquarters proximity
AP’s office is at 12848 Queensbury Ln #208, Houston, TX 77024. For a Houston-area project that means preconstruction can meet at the site, leadership can review the field without a flight, and the project team is drawing on subcontractors and suppliers it works with every week. Phone (346) 222-4999, Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Houston-area project
Dishaka Industrial Facility
- A 108,040 SF tilt-wall facility on nine acres in Stafford that puts 17,040 SF of office, 32,049 SF of production, and 58,951 SF of warehouse under one roof.
- Office, production, and warehouse under one tilt-wall roof on a flat nine-acre site southwest of Houston, where drainage, truck access, and three different sets of building systems had to be planned against one site plan.

Building in Houston: questions
Where is AP Construction’s Houston office?
AP’s headquarters is at 12848 Queensbury Ln #208, Houston, TX 77024, open Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Preconstruction, estimating, and leadership work from this office, and Houston-area projects are a short drive for the whole team.
What has AP built in the Houston area?
The Penske Katy Service Center, a 20-bay truck facility with a 140-foot wash and 8 acres of paving; Dishaka’s 108,040 SF tilt-wall office, production, and warehouse facility; the Elite Volleyball training facility; and the Big Brothers Big Sisters headquarters.
Does AP build outside the City of Houston limits?
Yes. Much of the region’s industrial land sits outside the city limits, in unincorporated Harris and Fort Bend counties or in surrounding cities. AP maps the specific jurisdiction, drainage authority, and utility provider for each site during preconstruction.
How does Houston drainage affect a warehouse or fleet site?
Houston-area sites are flat and the region gets intense rain, so detention, finished floor elevation, and outfall design decide how much yard and building the site can hold. AP coordinates civil engineers early so drainage is settled before the footprint and paving are fixed.
Can AP build a truck facility on a busy Houston freight corridor?
Yes. The Penske Katy Service Center sits in the west Houston corridor and was planned around heavy truck circulation, staging, and 8 acres of heavy-duty paving. Access from the public road, queuing, and separation from car traffic are settled in site planning.
What is the advantage of a Houston-based contractor for a Houston project?
Proximity and familiarity. Leadership can be on site quickly, preconstruction knows the local subcontractor market and lead times, and the team has already worked through the drainage, soils, and permitting patterns that shape Houston-area industrial projects.
Planning a facility in the Houston area?
Send us the site and the program. We can walk it this week and tell you what the drainage, the jurisdiction, and the schedule will demand.
