Commercial waterfronts demand a different class of contractor: engineered structures, real insurance, permitting fluency, and crews that hit schedules. Jordan Marine Construction builds commercial and marina docks across Greater Houston, Lake Conroe, Lake Livingston, and the Gulf Coast — for marinas, HOAs and POAs, lake communities, municipalities, and commercial properties — with 40+ years of construction experience behind every bid.
Our commercial résumé is public: an engineered pier project for the Harris County Flood Control District and a live community-wide bulkhead contract for the Hillshire Lakes POA. We bring the same engineer-led process to multi-slip marina docks, community piers, and commercial waterfront structures.

- 1
Scope & Engineering
We define loads, occupancy, and use with your stakeholders, and produce engineered plans sized for commercial duty.
- 2
Permitting & Compliance
We manage the authority review — SJRA, TRA, City of Houston, USACE/GLO — plus any municipal or district requirements.
- 3
Construction
In-house pile driving and marine crews build the structure to plan and schedule, with documented progress.
- 4
Delivery & Support
We deliver a finished, inspected structure and stand behind it — inspection and maintenance support included as needed.
Commercial-Grade Standards
Commercial structures are engineered for their occupancy and loads: pilings driven to refusal, marine-grade treated timber or steel as specified, and hot-dip galvanized or stainless connections. We build to the drawing and document as we go — the standard commercial and municipal clients expect.
Commercial Marine Work Is a Different League — Hire for It
The gap between residential and commercial marine construction isn't size — it's consequence. A marina dock carries paying customers' boats; a community pier carries liability for every resident who walks it; an HOA bulkhead protects dozens of properties at once. Commercial clients need engineered drawings, real insurance, permitting fluency across authorities, documented construction, and a contractor who has answered to boards, districts, and procurement processes before. That résumé can't be improvised.
Ours is public record: an engineered pier project for the Harris County Flood Control District, a live community-wide bulkhead replacement contract for the Hillshire Lakes POA, and 40+ years of construction experience across the two families behind the company. We're comfortable presenting to boards, working to bid documents, and building to the drawing under inspection — because we do it now, not because we hope to.
In-house capability is the other differentiator: our own barge-mounted and land-based pile driving, marine framing crews, and licensed electrical coordination mean the critical path stays under one roof. On commercial schedules, every subcontracted handoff is a risk; we've built our operation to minimize them.
Marinas, HOAs, Municipalities: How We Deliver
Marina work demands operational sensitivity: slips are revenue, and construction that closes them costs the client daily. We sequence phases with your operations — which docks close when, where construction access runs, how boater traffic routes around the work — and commit to disruption windows in writing. Multi-slip structures, fuel dock rebuilds, gangways, and wave attenuation all get the same treatment: engineered, permitted, phased, delivered.
For HOAs, POAs, and lake communities, the challenge is stakeholders: boards need documentation for their records, owners need communication, and the work often spans dozens of properties. Our Hillshire Lakes engagement is the model — community-scale contract, per-property execution, board-level accountability. Municipal and district work adds public procurement and inspection layers we've already navigated with Harris County Flood Control District.
Every commercial structure is engineered for its occupancy and loads, permitted through the controlling authority (SJRA, TRA, City of Houston, USACE/GLO), and built from marine-grade materials with the documentation trail commercial clients require. We also support the asset after delivery — inspection and maintenance programs that protect the board's investment and the members' safety.

Commercial & Marina Dock Construction FAQs
Do you work with HOAs and municipalities?
Yes — our current work includes the Hillshire Lakes POA community bulkhead contract, and our portfolio includes an engineered pier for the Harris County Flood Control District. We're comfortable with boards, districts, and public procurement.
Can you phase construction around marina operations?
Yes. We plan sequencing with your operations so slips stay usable where possible and disruption windows are agreed in advance.
Are you insured for commercial marine work?
Yes — we're a licensed, insured marine contractor accustomed to meeting commercial and municipal insurance requirements. Certificates and documentation are provided as part of contracting.
Can you respond to an RFP or work with our engineer?
Both. We bid to prepared documents and build to third-party engineering, or provide the engineering ourselves — whichever structure your organization's process requires.
How do you handle a project spanning dozens of homeowners?
The Hillshire Lakes model: one board-level contract, per-property scheduling and communication, and consistent standards across every parcel. The board gets consolidated accountability; owners get predictability.
Do you offer maintenance programs for marinas and HOAs?
Yes — periodic inspection and maintenance support for docks, piers, and bulkheads. For assets that serve many users, scheduled inspection is cheap insurance against liability and deferred-failure costs.
