Aivast Construction is a licensed general contractor based in Broussard, Louisiana, serving businesses and homeowners across Acadiana since 2012. Our office sits on Highway 90; we’ve watched this community grow from quiet sugar-cane country into one of Louisiana’s fastest-expanding cities.
Whether you’re planning a new warehouse along Highway 90, building out commercial space on St. Nazaire Road, or need a metal building for your business near the Broussard Sports Complex, you need a contractor who manages the entire project, not one who hands you off to subcontractors and disappears.
Commercial and industrial construction is our strength. Metal buildings for warehouses, equipment shops, and storage facilities. Concrete foundations, heavy-use pads, and commercial parking areas engineered for Louisiana’s clay soils. Roof systems rated for hurricane-force winds. Perimeter fencing and security installations. Tenant improvements and full build-outs for offices, retail, restaurants, and industrial spaces along the St. Nazaire corridor, South Bernard Road, and throughout Broussard’s expanding commercial districts.
We manage every phase: budgeting, permitting through the City of Broussard, scheduling, subcontractor coordination, inspections, and project closeout. One point of contact. No gaps. No excuses.
For homeowners and property owners, we provide roofing, concrete driveways, fencing, siding, gutters, carports, and patio enclosures, from established neighborhoods like Le Triomphe, Cypress Meadows, and Sabal Palms to homes near Zoosiana, St. Julien Park GBP, and the Billeaud District.
When storms or floods hit, we respond 24/7. Emergency water extraction. Structural drying. Mold remediation. Full restoration for commercial facilities and residences alike. After Laura, Delta, Ida, and the 2016 flood, we helped Broussard businesses reopen and families recover.
South Louisiana’s climate demands construction built to last. We deliver it on schedule, on budget, and built right.

Our Commercial Services Include
Commercial Water Damage Restoration
When water damages your business, whether from hurricanes, roof leaks, plumbing failures, or flooding, every hour costs money. We provide 24/7 emergency response with commercial-grade extraction equipment and industrial dehumidifiers to dry out your facility fast. Our team documents damage thoroughly for insurance claims and coordinates with adjusters so you can focus on operations. We prioritize business continuity, working around your schedule when possible and completing repairs efficiently to minimize downtime. After Laura, Delta, and Ida, we helped Broussard businesses along Highway 90 and St. Nazaire Road reopen quickly.
Commercial Seamless Gutters & Drainage Systems
Commercial buildings need gutters sized for large roof areas and Acadiana’s intense rainfall, over 60 inches annually. We install seamless aluminum gutters for warehouses, retail centers, office buildings, and industrial facilities throughout Broussard and Lafayette Parish. Our systems are fabricated on-site for a precise fit with no seams to leak. A proper slope ensures water flows to the downspouts instead of pooling. We also install downspout extensions and underground drainage connections that direct water away from foundations and parking areas, protecting your building and your customers.
Commercial Fencing
Security and property definitions matter for commercial and industrial sites. We install chain-link, perimeter, hurricane-rated, and industrial yard fencing, as well as access-controlled entry systems, for businesses throughout Acadiana. Our commercial fence installations use deeper post settings and heavier gauge materials than residential work, built to withstand storms, secure equipment yards, and meet insurance requirements. From warehouses along Highway 90 to retail properties on St. Nazaire Road, we help Broussard businesses protect their assets and define their boundaries.
Commercial Siding Installation
our building’s exterior affects how customers perceive your business and how well your structure handles South Louisiana’s climate. We install commercial siding systems, including fiber-cement, vinyl, and metal-panel cladding, for offices, multi-unit buildings, retail spaces, and industrial structures. Our installations include proper moisture barriers, flashing, and ventilation to prevent the humidity-related damage common in Acadiana. Whether you’re updating a dated facade on South Bernard Road or cladding a new commercial building, we deliver durable exteriors that look professional and perform for years.
Commercial Patio Covers & Covered Work Areas
Covered outdoor space adds functionality for employees and customers. We build commercial patio covers, employee shade structures, covered customer areas, smoking shelters, and commercial carports for businesses throughout Broussard. These structures provide protection from Louisiana’s intense sun and afternoon thunderstorms, extending usable space without full construction. Restaurants near St. Julien Park add covered outdoor seating. Industrial facilities along Highway 90 install covered work areas for equipment staging. We engineer every structure for wind loads and design them to complement your existing building.
Metal Buildings, Warehouses & Commercial Structures
Metal buildings offer fast construction, cost efficiency, and durability that make sense for Broussard businesses. We construct workshops, equipment shops, storage buildings, small warehouses, business expansions, and custom metal structures for commercial and industrial use. Pre-engineered steel building systems go up quickly, minimizing disruption to your operations. We handle everything, site preparation, concrete foundations, building erection, doors, insulation, and electrical coordination. From contractor yards in the Billeaud District to storage facilities along the St. Nazaire corridor, we build metal structures designed for Acadiana’s hurricane exposure and business demands.
Parking Pads, Concrete Pads & Walkways
Commercial concrete must handle heavier loads and more traffic than residential work. We pour parking pads, equipment pads, loading zones, ADA-compliant walkways, and small commercial parking areas throughout Broussard and surrounding communities. Our concrete installations address Louisiana’s clay soil movement through proper base preparation, reinforcement, and control joints. We also repair and replace failing commercial concrete, cracked parking areas, settling equipment pads, and deteriorating walkways that create liability concerns. Properly engineered commercial concrete protects your investment and your customers.
Commercial Outdoor Spaces
Outdoor spaces create value for restaurants, retail businesses, and client-facing facilities. We build commercial-grade outdoor seating areas, dining patios, customer gathering spaces, and exterior entertainment zones designed for heavy use and Louisiana weather. Materials are selected for durability, drainage, and low maintenance, including concrete, composite decking, and commercial-grade shade structures that handle sun, rain, and constant use. From restaurant patios near Zoosiana to retail courtyards along St. Nazaire Road, we help Broussard businesses expand their usable space and enhance customer experience.
Commercial Property Improvements
Aging commercial buildings need ongoing investment to remain competitive, safe, and functional. We handle exterior upgrades, structural repairs, security enhancements, ADA compliance modifications, and general building improvements for commercial properties throughout Acadiana. This includes facade updates, door and window replacements, exterior lighting, accessibility ramps, reinforced entry systems, and storm hardening. Whether you’re preparing a building for sale, satisfying code requirements, or simply improving your property’s appearance and function, we manage the work from planning through completion with minimal disruption to your business operations.
Your Home, Built to Last
Residential Contracting
Whether you’re building a new home in Sabal Palms, replacing a storm-damaged roof in Cypress Meadows, adding a patio cover in Le Triomphe, or dealing with water damage at 2 AM, you need a contractor who handles the whole job, not one who shows up, does their piece, and leaves you managing the rest.
Aivast Construction has been serving Broussard homeowners since 2012. We specialize in the exterior work that protects your home from South Louisiana’s demanding climate: roofing, concrete, fencing, siding, gutters, patio covers, carports, and outdoor living spaces. When storms or floods cause damage, we respond 24/7 with emergency restoration that gets your family back to normal fast.
We know Broussard’s neighborhoods, the HOA requirements in Sugar Trace, the soil conditions near Bayou Vermilion, and the drainage challenges in older subdivisions near the Billeaud District. Local knowledge means better results.
One contractor. One point of contact. Permits, inspections, and project management are handled from start to finish.
Our Residential Services Include:
Water Damage Restoration
Water damage doesn’t wait for convenient timing; pipes burst at midnight, appliances leak while you’re at work, and storms don’t check your schedule. We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Broussard and Acadiana with truck-mounted extraction equipment and commercial-grade dehumidifiers. Our crews arrive fast, remove standing water, dry structural materials before mold takes hold, and complete full repairs to get your home back to normal. We’ve helped families recover after Laura, Delta, Ida, and the 2016 flood, from homes in Cypress Meadows and Le Triomphe to neighborhoods near St. Julien Park.
Seamless Gutters & Gutter Repair
South Louisiana averages over 60 inches of rain annually, and undersized or failing gutters cause foundation damage, fascia rot, and erosion of landscaping. We install seamless aluminum gutters fabricated on-site for a precise fit with no seams to leak. A proper slope ensures water flows to the downspouts instead of pooling. We also repair sagging sections, leaky joints, and damaged hangers on existing systems. For homes throughout Broussard, properly functioning gutters protect your biggest investment.
Residential Fencing
Privacy, security, and property definition start with quality fencing built to withstand Broussard’s storms. We install wood privacy fences, decorative fencing, vinyl fencing, aluminum fencing, and hurricane-rated options designed for South Louisiana’s wind exposure. Posts are set a minimum of three feet deep in concrete, the depth that keeps fences standing when storms hit. Many Broussard subdivisions, including Cypress Meadows, Le Triomphe, and Sabal Palms, have HOA guidelines affecting fence materials and styles. We help homeowners navigate approval requirements while building fences that last.
Siding Installation (Vinyl, Hardie, Wood)
Your home’s siding is the first defense against Louisiana’s humidity, driving rain, and intense sun. We install vinyl siding, fiber cement (Hardie board), and wood siding systems with proper moisture barriers, flashing, and ventilation to prevent the rot and mold common in Acadiana. Fiber cement and quality vinyl resist humidity, insects, and UV damage better than older materials. Whether you’re replacing storm-damaged siding, updating a dated exterior, or building new in one of Broussard’s growing neighborhoods, we deliver durable exteriors that look great and perform for decades.
Patio Covers, Carports & RV Covers
Louisiana’s climate makes covered outdoor space essential, shade from intense summer sun, protection from afternoon thunderstorms, and shelter for vehicles and equipment. We build patio covers, residential carports, and RV shelters designed for Broussard’s weather. Solid roof structures keep outdoor living spaces usable year-round. Carports protect vehicles from sun damage, fallen debris, and hail. RV covers accommodate larger recreational vehicles and boats. Every structure is engineered for wind loads and designed to complement your home’s architecture, from traditional styles in Le Triomphe to contemporary designs in Sabal Palms.
Residential Metal Buildings & Shops
Backyard shops, hobby buildings, storage structures, and detached garages give homeowners space for workshops, equipment, vehicles, and projects. We construct residential metal buildings throughout Broussard, from small storage structures to full workshops with electrical, insulation, and climate control. Pre-engineered steel systems go up quickly and cost less than conventional construction while offering durability and low maintenance. We handle site preparation, concrete slabs, building erection, and finish-out. Whether you need a woodworking shop near Cypress Meadows or equipment storage in the Billeaud District, we build metal structures that serve your needs for decades.
Concrete Driveways, Patios & Walkways
Broussard sits on clay-rich soil that expands when wet and contracts when dry, cracking concrete that isn’t engineered for the movement. We pour driveways, patios, walkways, and slabs designed for Louisiana’s soil conditions. Proper excavation, compacted base material, reinforcement, and control joints ensure long-term performance. We also repair and replace failing concrete throughout Broussard’s neighborhoods, from settling driveways in established areas near Zoosiana to new installations in Sugar Trace and Village at Broussard. Decorative options, including stamped patterns and stained finishes, create distinctive outdoor spaces.
Outdoor Kitchens
South Louisiana’s climate makes outdoor living a priority, and outdoor kitchens transform how families use their backyards. We build custom outdoor cooking and entertaining areas with built-in grills, refrigeration, storage, counter space, and proper gas and electrical connections. Materials are selected for Louisiana weather, including marine-grade stainless steel appliances, polymer or stainless cabinetry, and concrete or granite countertops that withstand humidity, rain, and temperature swings. From simple grill stations to full outdoor kitchens with pergolas and seating areas, we help Broussard homeowners extend their living space and enjoy the outdoors year-round.
New Home Builds
Building a new home in Broussard requires understanding local conditions, including clay soils that demand engineered foundations, drainage patterns that vary from lot to lot, hurricane exposure that affects every exterior detail, and permitting through the City of Broussard. We build custom homes from the ground up, managing the entire process from site evaluation and design coordination through foundation, framing, systems installation, and final walkthrough. Whether you’re building in Le Triomphe, Sabal Palms, Cypress Meadows, or on a private lot, we deliver quality construction designed specifically for South Louisiana’s demanding climate.

The Broussard Difference
People who’ve worked with contractors in Lafayette notice differences immediately when building in Broussard. These aren’t minor variations; they affect timelines, budgets, and how projects unfold.
City of Broussard Permitting
The City of Broussard runs its own permitting department — completely separate from Lafayette Consolidated Government. This matters for your project timeline. The application process takes roughly two business days instead of the 5-15 days LCG typically requires. Fees run about $15 per thousand dollars of project cost, with additional fees for electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and gas permits.
The city issues separate permits for each discipline: building, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and gas. We coordinate all applications and schedule the required inspections: foundation, framing, rough-ins for electrical and plumbing, mechanical, and final.
Projects within the Main Street Corridor face additional design review to ensure compliance with guidelines promoting street-oriented buildings and pedestrian-friendly development.
Newer Housing Stock, Different Problems
Broussard’s housing stock skews newer than Lafayette’s. Most neighborhoods here were developed after 2000. You won’t find the pier-and-beam foundations, knob-and-tube wiring, and cast-iron drain pipes that fill Lafayette’s historic Saint Streets or Freetown neighborhoods.
But newer construction brings its own issues. Fill dirt in recently developed subdivisions sometimes settles within the first few years, causing drywall cracks and doors that stick. Builder-grade finishes disappoint homeowners wanting better quality. Drainage problems emerge in areas developed rapidly without adequate stormwater planning. HVAC systems sized for quick sales rather than long-term efficiency struggle during Louisiana summers.
HOA Requirements Shape Many Projects
Homeowner associations govern many Broussard subdivisions. Cypress Meadows, Le Triomphe, Sabal Palms, and Sugar Trace all have design guidelines affecting what you can build and how.
Fence materials and heights require approval. Exterior paint colors must come from approved palettes. Patio structures, roofing materials, and even landscaping changes may need committee review before work begins. Some HOAs respond within days; others take weeks. Starting without approval risks expensive changes.
We work within HOA requirements regularly. We know which communities have strict guidelines, which approve quickly, and how to present projects for smooth approvals.
Clay Soils Demand Engineered Solutions
Broussard sits on clay-rich soils deposited by the Vermilion River and Bayou Vermilion over thousands of years. These soils behave differently from what builders encounter elsewhere. They expand significantly when wet, absorbing water and swelling. They contract when dry, shrinking and pulling away from structures.
This expansion-contraction cycle cracks foundations, breaks concrete, and shifts structures not engineered for the movement. The high water table adds complexity, affecting drainage design, crawlspace construction, and what happens during heavy rain.
Every foundation and concrete project we do in Broussard accounts for these conditions. Proper engineering. Appropriate reinforcement. Drainage planning that manages soil moisture. Ignoring soil conditions guarantees problems.
Drainage Improvements Changed the Risk Profile
The August 2016 flood severely tested Broussard. Historic rainfall overwhelmed drainage systems throughout the region. Roughly 125 structures in Broussard flooded. Homeowners faced devastating losses. The community responded.
Since 2016, the city has aggressively improved drainage infrastructure. Ditches cleaned and expanded. Culverts upgraded. Detention capacity increased. When Hurricanes Laura and Delta hit in 2020, the improvements proved themselves; no Broussard homes flooded despite significant rainfall.
But citywide infrastructure handles regional drainage. Individual properties still need proper grading, French drains where appropriate, and stormwater management designed for specific lot conditions. City infrastructure protects against neighborhood flooding; your lot’s drainage protects your foundation and structure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide services for both residential and commercial projects?
Yes. Aivast Construction handles full residential and commercial construction, restoration, and exterior improvements. We work with homeowners, business owners, property managers, and organizations across Acadiana, from kitchen remodels and roof replacements to tenant improvements, metal buildings, and industrial construction.
What exterior and outdoor construction services do you offer?
We specialize in the work that protects your property from the outside in: roofing, concrete driveways and foundations, fencing, siding, gutter systems, patio enclosures, patio covers, carports, RV covers, and outdoor kitchens. Every project is designed with South Louisiana’s weather, drainage conditions, and soil movement in mind.
How quickly can you respond to water damage or emergency repairs?
We maintain 24/7 emergency availability. Flooding, storm damage, roof leaks, and plumbing failures can cause serious damage if not addressed quickly; mold can begin to grow within 24-48 hours. Our crews respond promptly with tarping, board-up, water extraction, and structural drying to minimize damage and begin restoration immediately. We coordinate with insurance adjusters throughout the process.
Do you provide structural repairs and foundation work?
Yes. We perform structural repairs, foundation work, and concrete construction, including foundations, slabs, driveways, pads, and reinforcements. South Louisiana’s clay soils expand and contract with moisture, causing shifting and cracking that requires proper engineering. These services are essential for maintaining safety, stability, and long-term performance.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. We provide free estimates for all residential and commercial projects. During the estimate process, we review the scope of work, discuss options, and provide clear pricing so you can make informed decisions before moving forward.
How long does permitting take?
It depends on the location. The City of Broussard processes most permits in about two business days. Lafayette Consolidated Government (LCG) typically takes 5-15 business days. We handle permit applications and coordinate all required inspections regardless of jurisdiction.
Do I need HOA approval for my project?
Many Acadiana subdivisions have design guidelines, including Cypress Meadows, Le Triomphe, Sabal Palms, Sugar Trace, River Ranch, and others. Fence materials, exterior colors, roofing types, and outdoor structures often require approval before work begins. We help navigate these requirements and ensure projects comply with community guidelines.
Should I be concerned about flooding?
Drainage improvements since the 2016 flood have reduced flooding risk in many areas, no Broussard homes flooded during Hurricanes Laura and Delta in 2020. However, South Louisiana’s heavy rainfall, clay soils, and high water table mean individual lot drainage still matters. We design proper grading and stormwater management into every project.
What areas do you serve?
Aivast Construction serves Broussard, Lafayette, Youngsville, New Iberia, Carencro, Scott, Rayne, Crowley, Opelousas, Eunice, Abbeville, and the entire Acadiana region. Our office is located on Highway 90 in Broussard. If you’re nearby and unsure whether we service your area, give us a call.
Do you offer pre-construction services?
Yes. We assist with pre-construction planning, including budgeting, scheduling, permitting coordination, and project management. This helps ensure a smoother construction process and fewer surprises once work begins.
Can you handle specialized or custom construction projects?
Yes. We have experience with custom home builds, ADA-compliant modifications, structural upgrades, historic renovations, and complex restoration projects. If you have specific requirements or a unique situation, we’re happy to discuss your goals and determine the best approach.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Aivast Construction is fully licensed and insured in Louisiana. We comply with all applicable building codes, City of Broussard requirements, Lafayette Consolidated Government regulations, and industry standards to ensure every project is completed safely and correctly.
Why choose Aivast Construction?

Clear communication, honest estimates, and work that holds up.
