Murphy & Sons, Inc. was organized on June 18, 1977, and has grown from a local builder into a diverse commercial and industrial general contractor serving owners across five states. Headquartered in Southaven, Mississippi, we offer commercial and industrial construction management, site analysis, preliminary design, concrete, permitting, and quality control, along with divisional offices throughout the Mid-South that handle petroleum-industry projects.
Nearly five decades later, we are still a family-led company. The name on the building is the name on the contract, and that accountability shapes how we treat every client, subcontractor, and supplier.
Our History
From the day the company was organized in 1977, the goal was simple: build quality projects at a fair price and earn the next job through the last one. That philosophy has carried Murphy & Sons through decades of growth across DeSoto County and the greater Mid-South region.
Today our portfolio spans K-12 schools, community college buildings, FEMA storm shelters, parks and athletic complexes, corporate offices, industrial facilities, and fuel and petroleum projects. We are licensed as a general contractor in Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Alabama, which lets owners with regional facilities work with one builder they trust.
Our Mission
Our mission guides every decision we make on the job site and in the office:
- 01
Quality at a fair price
To deliver the highest level of quality construction services at fair, market-competitive prices.
- 02
Longevity through satisfaction
To earn repeat and referral business by satisfying our customers in every area, including timeliness, attention to detail, and service-minded attitudes.
- 03
Integrity in every relationship
To maintain the highest levels of professionalism, integrity, honesty, and fairness with our suppliers, subcontractors, and customers.
What We Do
Murphy & Sons is a full-service general contractor. Our core services include:
- Commercial and industrial construction management
- Design-build project delivery
- Preconstruction planning, budgeting, and scheduling
- Owner-focused project management
- Special projects, renovations, and expansions from $100,000 and up
Within those services, our in-house team handles site analysis, preliminary design, concrete work, permits, and quality control. Keeping these capabilities under one roof gives us more control over cost, schedule, and quality than a builder that subcontracts every step.
Our Leadership and Team

Garrett Murphy
Vice PresidentMore than 25 years of construction experience

Behind them is a team of project managers, estimators, superintendents, and office staff, many of whom have been with Murphy & Sons for 10, 20, and even 30 years. That kind of tenure is rare in construction, and it means you will work with people who know our systems, our standards, and our subcontractor network inside and out. When you call, you reach someone who knows your project.
How We Work
Every project starts with listening. Before we price a job or propose a schedule, our project managers learn how your business operates, what success looks like to you, and where the risks are. From there we:
- Provide early cost and schedule opinions
- Offer design alternatives and cost-saving ideas
- Assign a dedicated project manager and superintendent
- Keep you informed with regular progress updates and site check-ins
- Close out with a thorough punch list, documentation, and warranty support
This one-on-one approach helps us spot issues early and keep your project on time and on budget.
Rooted in DeSoto County, Serving the Mid-South
