Commercial General Contractor in Arkansas
Murphy & Sons, Inc. is an Arkansas-licensed commercial general contractor serving owners from the Delta to Central Arkansas and beyond. Headquartered just across the Mississippi River in Southaven, Mississippi, our team has delivered commercial, industrial, institutional, and municipal construction across the Mid-South since 1977. We bring that experience to Arkansas projects with the same one-on-one approach our clients have relied on for decades.
A Mid-South Builder With Arkansas Reach
Eastern Arkansas and the Memphis metro are closely connected. Many businesses, school districts, and industrial owners operate on both sides of the river. Because Murphy & Sons is licensed in Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mississippi, those owners can work with one experienced general contractor across the entire region.

Building in Arkansas: Local Considerations
Successful Arkansas projects start with understanding local conditions:
Delta soils and drainage
Much of Eastern Arkansas sits on low, flat Delta land with clay soils and high water tables. Our site analysis and in-house concrete expertise help us plan foundations, grading, and drainage that last.
Seismic requirements
Northeast Arkansas lies within the New Madrid Seismic Zone, which can affect structural design and foundations. We plan for these requirements early.
Severe weather
Tornadoes and strong storms are common across Arkansas. Our storm shelter and FEMA safe room experience gives us a strong understanding of wind-resistant construction.
Licensing and permitting
We hold an Arkansas commercial contractor license through the Arkansas Contractors Licensing Board and coordinate with local building officials throughout the state.
Managing Arkansas Projects From Across the River
Our Southaven headquarters is roughly a half hour from West Memphis and Marion, so Eastern Arkansas projects get the same quick response as jobs in our own county. For projects farther west, such as Little Rock, Conway, or Northwest Arkansas, we assign a dedicated superintendent to live with your project, schedule regular visits from your project manager, and line up qualified local subcontractors and suppliers. You get local responsiveness backed by a regional company's resources and nearly 50 years of experience.
