Sherman Contractors: TI's $60B Fab Complex Will Dominate North Texas Construction for a Decade, Watch Your Rental Costs

Texas Instruments is investing over $60 billion to build up to four semiconductor fabs in Sherman, Texas, one of the largest chip manufacturing investments in American history. Hensel Phelps and other GCs are managing the phased construction, which will run through 2030 and beyond. The equipment demand is massive: crawler cranes, tower cranes, earthmoving fleets, hundreds of aerial lifts, and generators running 24/7. TrueRent shows Sherman-area contractors where United Rentals, Sunbelt, HOLT CAT, and H&E are charging above market.

Sherman is a mid-size Texas city suddenly hosting one of the biggest construction projects in the country. Local rental inventory can't keep up, equipment is being shipped in from Dallas, Austin, and Oklahoma. That means higher delivery charges, mobilization fees, and premium rates. When you're spending $1M-$3M/month on rentals, the hidden fees add up to six figures fast. TrueRent catches what your project accountant doesn't have time to check.
