Commercial General Contractor in Mississippi
Murphy & Sons, Inc. has been a Mississippi general contractor since 1977. Headquartered in Southaven, we deliver commercial, industrial, institutional, and municipal construction across the state, from DeSoto County and North Mississippi to the Golden Triangle, the Jackson metro, the Pine Belt, and the Gulf Coast. Owners choose us for our experience, our in-house capabilities, and a one-on-one approach that keeps projects on schedule and on budget.
Proudly Built in Mississippi
Mississippi is home. Our portfolio here includes some of the projects we are proudest of: the Southaven FEMA Shelter, the Snowden Grove tennis courts, soccer complex, and pedestrian bridge, Calhoun Hall at Northwest Mississippi Community College, Student Services at Itawamba Community College, and the DeSoto Central High School addition. These projects serve students, families, and communities every day.

Local Expertise That Protects Your Project
Building in Mississippi comes with its own challenges, and experience matters:
- Soils
- Parts of the state, especially central Mississippi, have expansive clay soils that shrink and swell with moisture. Our site analysis and concrete expertise help us plan foundations that perform.
- Severe weather
- Mississippi sees tornadoes, severe storms, and, along the coast, hurricane-force winds. Our experience with FEMA shelter construction gives us a deep understanding of wind-resistant building.
- Public procurement
- Many of our Mississippi projects are for school districts, colleges, and municipalities. We understand public bidding, documentation, and reporting requirements.
- Licensing and permits
- We are licensed with the Mississippi State Board of Contractors and work with local building officials across the state.
Serving Mississippi's Public and Private Owners
Much of our Mississippi work is for owners who answer to a board, a council, or taxpayers: school districts, community colleges, cities, and counties. These owners need a contractor who can hold a budget, document every step, and keep a project moving through public approvals. Our work at Northwest Mississippi Community College in Senatobia, Itawamba Community College in Fulton, DeSoto County Schools, and the City of Southaven reflects that experience.
Private owners benefit from the same discipline. Manufacturers, distribution companies, fuel retailers, healthcare providers, and businesses opening new offices rely on us for accurate preconstruction budgets, fast design-build delivery, and special projects that keep their operations running while we work. Whether your project is a school addition in Tupelo, an industrial building in the Golden Triangle, or an office renovation in Jackson, you receive the same dedicated project manager and the same standards we have held since 1977.
