Aivast Construction
2929 Hwy 90 E, Broussard, LA 70518 337-345-1078
Aivast Construction is a licensed general contractor based in Broussard, Louisiana, serving homeowners and businesses 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.
We specialize in the work that protects your property from the outside in. Roof replacement, storm damage repairs, and metal roof installation rated for hurricane winds. Concrete driveways, patios, and foundations engineered for Louisiana’s shifting clay soils. Fencing that stays standing when storms hit. Siding and gutters that keep water where it belongs. Patio enclosures and covers that extend your outdoor living space. Metal buildings for workshops, storage, and commercial use.
When water gets inside, whether from hurricanes, floods, or plumbing failures, we respond 24/7. Emergency water extraction with commercial equipment. Structural drying before mold takes hold. Mold remediation when it doesn’t. Full restoration to get your property back to pre-damage condition. After Laura, Delta, Ida, and the historic 2016 flood, we helped hundreds of Acadiana families recover, from neighborhoods near Zoosiana and St. Julien Park to homes along the St. Nazaire corridor and subdivisions throughout Lafayette Parish.
South Louisiana’s climate punishes buildings. Humidity that invites mold. Heavy rainfall tests every gutter and grade. Hurricane-force winds that find weak points. Clay soil that shifts with every wet and dry cycle. We build with these realities in mind, not as afterthoughts, but as the foundation of how we work.

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.

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.
