Your Guide to Industrial Facility Construction in Phoenix
Phoenix is expanding fast, and we’ve seen it up close. With booming technology, logistics, and manufacturing sectors, demand for large-scale industrial construction is at an all-time high. That’s exactly where we come in. At Pegasus Construction, we’ve spent over 37 years building high-performance industrial facilities across Phoenix and the Southwest. If you’re planning a plant, warehouse, or manufacturing site, we’ll walk you through what to expect—and why our team is the one you want on your side.
Why Phoenix is a Hub for Industrial Construction
Phoenix offers the perfect mix: a business-friendly climate, affordable land, and a surging tech ecosystem. From semiconductors and aerospace to data centers and advanced manufacturing, industries are choosing this region for growth—and they need facilities that perform.
We’ve worked in Phoenix since 1987. Our local experience helps us move faster through zoning, environmental regulations, and utility planning. We know the challenges here, but more importantly, we know how to solve them.
Who We Are at Pegasus Construction
We started as a general contractor and evolved into a full-service construction company built specifically for complex industrial projects. What makes us different is that we self-perform what most others subcontract.
Our plumbing, mechanical, and electrical teams are all in-house. That means better quality control, tighter schedules, and fewer delays. Our zero-accident culture reflects the pride and discipline we bring to every site.
What We Offer: Industrial Facility Construction Services
Site & Infrastructure Development
Every great project starts at ground level. We handle everything from land clearing and excavation to underground utilities and grading. In Phoenix, that includes navigating hard soil, monsoon drainage, and major utility demands. We prepare your site to perform from day one.
Structural & Shell Construction
We build the backbone of your facility—whether that’s pre-engineered steel or poured concrete structures. We accommodate production flow, loading areas, and future expansion. Our designs emphasize operational efficiency and long-term durability.
In-House MEP Systems
Our internal divisions specialize in mission-critical systems:
- Plumbing: Utility piping, acid waste, certified welding—installed by our team.
- Mechanical: Custom HVAC, ductwork, cleanroom systems, and process cooling.
- Electrical: Full-service power, data, panel builds, instrumentation, and backup systems.
All systems are designed to code, installed to spec, and integrated with the rest of the build from the start.
Renovations & Retrofits
Some clients can’t shut down—and we get that. We’ve completed phased renovations in live production environments without compromising output. Our teams work off-hours, isolate work zones, and move methodically to minimize impact.
Industries We Serve
We work with clients across many complex, high-demand sectors:
- Semiconductors
- Data centers
- Aerospace and defense
- Renewable energy
- Automotive
- Food and beverage
- Chemical processing
- Propulsion testing
- Pulp and paper
From Class 100 cleanrooms to vibration-resistant floors, we’ve built it—and we’re ready to do it again.
How Projects Typically Flow
Pre-Construction & Design-Assist
It all starts with a conversation. We work closely with your team to align on goals, schedule, and site logistics. Our design-assist process ensures what we plan will be buildable, cost-effective, and engineered with operations in mind.
Permitting & Approvals
Permits can be a pain—unless you know the system. We’ve navigated Phoenix permitting processes for decades. We handle submittals, coordinate utilities, and keep the paperwork moving so you’re not left waiting.
Construction Execution
Our phased construction method follows a predictable path:
- Site development
- Structural shell
- MEP systems
- Equipment installation
- Final finishes and commissioning
Because we self-perform plumbing, electrical, and HVAC, we keep trades in sync and avoid conflicts that delay most projects.
Final Commissioning
Before we hand you the keys, we verify every system, train your staff, and test equipment. You get a clean, safe, and fully operational facility—ready for permits and production.
Budget & Timeline Expectations
No two projects are alike, but we help bring predictability to the table. We manage costs through integrated design and early budgeting. Key cost drivers include:
- Sitework and drainage
- Structural design
- MEP complexity
- Permitting timelines
When speed matters, we offer phased delivery or fast-track options to get production online faster without sacrificing quality.
Why Clients Choose Pegasus Construction
- Over three decades of local industrial experience
- In-house MEP, sitework, and structural teams
- Zero-accident culture with a deep safety commitment
- Flexibility for both new builds and active plant upgrades
- Long-term client relationships built on transparency and results
We’re not just builders—we’re partners in your facility’s long-term success.
What to Look for in an Industrial Contractor
Picking the right builder is about more than price. Here’s what matters:
- Proven Phoenix experience
- Safety-first operations
- Integrated trades and systems expertise
- Adaptability for live environments
- Relevant industry experience
We bring all of that—plus a design-build structure that puts control in your hands and coordination in ours.
Why We Recommend Design-Build
Traditional bid-build can work—but for complex industrial jobs, design-build often delivers better outcomes. It puts one team in charge from start to finish, which reduces delays, lowers costs, and speeds up decision-making.
Our design-build model improves communication and accountability. And that’s something our clients value.
