Clay Development & Construction began in 1998 as a joint effort by Al Clay and Robert Clay, forming a business centered on industrial real estate development and construction. The company focuses on design-build and build-to-suit delivery for distribution, manufacturing, and logistics facilities, with in-house capabilities that include land development, architecture, civil and structural engineering, and construction coordination. Clay Development also handles site selection, utility planning, permitting, and project bidding as part of a vertically integrated development model. The business maintains a broader market presence across Greater Houston and supports projects that include retrofits, cold storage buildings, heavy crane-served structures, and other specialized industrial applications.
