MURPHY & SONS, INC. | WEBSITE CONTENT
Commercial & Industrial General Contractor in Southaven, MS, Serving the Mid-South Since 1977
Murphy & Sons, Inc. is a full-service commercial and industrial general contractor headquartered in Southaven, Mississippi. Since June 18, 1977, our team has been building the schools, public facilities, corporate offices, industrial plants, and petroleum-industry projects that keep communities across the Mid-South working. We are licensed to build in Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Alabama, and we bring the same hands-on, family-run approach to every job, whether it is a $100,000 interior upfit or a $50 million ground-up facility.
Creating Centers for Business Success
We are proud of the projects that improve the landscape of our community. Whether we are building an iconic corporate facility or completing an interior renovation, every Murphy & Sons client receives:
- Early cost and schedule opinions, so you can make decisions with real numbers
- Design alternatives that fit your budget, timeline, and long-term goals
- Value-engineering and cost-saving ideas before a single shovel hits the ground
- A dedicated project manager who takes the time to understand your business
Our experienced project managers and superintendents learn how your organization operates before recommending a solution. That understanding is what lets us deliver buildings that work as hard as you do.

A Full-Service Construction Company That Saves You Time and Money
Traditional construction often splits design, engineering, and building into separate contracts, with separate teams pointing fingers when something goes wrong. Murphy & Sons streamlines that fragmented process. Through our design-build services, you get one contract and one point of contact from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.
Our one-on-one approach means we understand your needs from day one. We advise you at each step, flag risks early, and solve problems before they become change orders. The result is a faster schedule, fewer surprises, and a better return on your construction investment.
