Projects
From community projects to large-scale retail construction, Sun Builders Co. has experience with both remodels and new projects, and we have built quality structures designed to accommodate a range of industries and purposes.
During this major renovation and reconstruction project in Southwest Houston, Sun Builders Co. used custom computer programs to create accurate budgets and strategic construction schedules that allows this project to be completed in less than 180 days. At 340,000 sq ft, with 181,000 of it being new construction, including an 8-screen theatre, this extensive project was delivered ahead of schedule.
Featuring a sophisticated fountain and striking boardwalk, this forward-looking project features 650,000 sq ft of retail space and over 1 million sq ft. of concrete parking.

Built for a hurricane-prone area, this structure features high-quality construction and was delivered on time and under budget, despite the fact that the project was unavoidably delayed by closing and demolition of the existing structure.
