Little Sunshine Daycare Center — Ground-Up Commercial Construction in San Antonio

San Antonio, TX · Ground-Up Commercial Construction

Ground-up commercial construction of a new Little Sunshine's Playhouse & Preschool daycare center in San Antonio — slab through framing, roof, exterior sheathing, and steel entry canopy.

Project overview

BP Construction Company served as the San Antonio commercial general contractor on this ground-up daycare center for Little Sunshine's Playhouse & Preschool. The scope ran from site work and foundation through wood framing, engineered roof trusses, full roof and exterior sheathing, and the structural steel porte-cochère at the main entry — delivering a weather-tight shell ready for envelope, MEP rough-in, and brand-standard interior finish-out.

Childcare facilities carry a long list of jurisdictional requirements: City of San Antonio permitting, Texas HHSC licensing standards, fire-rated assemblies, and strict life-safety details around classrooms and play areas. BP self-performed commercial carpentry and framing, coordinated structural steel and the trussed multi-gable roof system, and ran inspections on a tight schedule so the owner could hit their opening date for families across San Antonio.
