Mavrix Build Co. is a Kansas City construction company built around a simple idea: the person who promises you a number should be the person accountable for it. That is why we self-perform the critical path, keep design and estimating in the same room, and publish a schedule every week instead of a hopeful completion date once.
Since 2009 we have delivered more than 850 projects across the metro, from ground-up commercial facilities and tenant improvements to custom homes, whole-house renovations and storm restoration. Our crews are our own employees, not day labor, and every job carries the same five-year workmanship warranty.
Design, engineering, permitting and construction sit under one roof, so nothing falls between trades and nobody points fingers when a detail matters.
You get a live look-ahead every Friday with what is complete, what is next and what we need from you. No radio silence.
The same process on a $4,000 concrete repair and a $4 million commercial build. Clear scope, written pricing, published schedule, documented closeout.
We walk the property or review your plans, talk through budget ranges and constraints, and tell you honestly whether your scope and number are compatible before you spend a dollar on design.
Our in-house team produces drawings, a line-item estimate and a permit package. You see allowances, alternates and exclusions in plain language, not a lump-sum guess.
Long-lead materials get ordered, trade partners get scheduled, and you get a written schedule plus a single point of contact who answers your calls for the life of the job.
Daily supervision, weekly owner meetings, third-party inspections at each phase, and photo documentation uploaded to your project file.
We punch the job with you, correct every item on the list, hand over as-built drawings and manuals, and start your five-year workmanship warranty.
Commercial conversions, custom homes, medical build-outs and storm restoration across the Kansas City metro. Every one of them delivered with a written schedule and a fixed price.
Plenty of contractors can swing a hammer. What clients remember is whether the number held, the schedule was honest and the site was clean.

Brooms out every afternoon, debris hauled weekly, walkways protected. A clean site is a safe site and a faster build.
We know how Kansas City reviews, inspects and permits work in each jurisdiction, and we carry the relationships to move quickly.
Real reviews from homeowners, property managers and business owners we have built for.
“We interviewed four contractors for a warehouse conversion with a historic structure and two tenants who could not be disrupted. Mavrix was the only one who showed up with a structural engineer’s preliminary review already in hand. They finished two weeks early, and I never once had to referee between trades.”
“The lot had a limestone shelf that three other builders told us would be a nightmare. Mavrix brought in a geotechnical engineer, redesigned the footings to follow the rock instead of blasting it, and saved us roughly forty thousand dollars in excavation. Their Friday updates meant we always knew exactly where the project stood.”
“We lived in the house through a sixteen-week renovation with two kids under five. The dust containment genuinely worked, the crew swept every single afternoon, and we kept a functioning kitchen until the last month. The beam they installed to open up the kitchen is completely invisible. You would never know a wall was there.”
“Nine operatories, medical gas, radiology shielding and a state inspection. Mavrix prepared the documentation package before the inspector even scheduled, and we passed on the first attempt. Opening on the date we committed to was worth more to us than any savings on a lower bid.”
“Thirty-eight homes, different insurance carriers, different adjusters, and a lot of anxious neighbors. Mavrix organized it street by street and kept every single homeowner informed. They got six of the eight denied claims overturned with better documentation. That is not something a door-knocking crew does.”
“Two other builders in this subdivision had foundation problems within a year. Mavrix over-excavated, brought in third-party soils verification at every lift, and built drainage into the design. Two full wet-dry cycles later, not one of our nine foundations has moved. They are our concrete contractor for phase two.”
Our superintendents, estimators and designers are employees, not subcontractors. You will meet them on day one and they will be there at the final walkthrough.
From downtown Kansas City to Johnson County, the Northland and eastern Jackson County. If you are inside the metro, we are already working near you.
Straight answers on costs, permits, foundations and storm claims, written by the people who actually do the work.
Custom Homes

Foundations
Kansas City sits on expansive clay that swells and shrinks with the seasons. Here is what to look for, what it means, and when it is worth calling an engineer.
Roofing
Kansas City sits in one of the most active hail corridors in the country. Most denials are documentation failures, not coverage failures. Here is how to build a claim file that holds up.
