Equex Management Co LLC

Equex Management Co LLC filed a TDLR registration for the renovation of a 1,600-square-foot office building at 901 E. Marshall Avenue in Longview, Texas. The project, registered in April 2026, involves alterations to the roof, ceiling, flooring, electrical systems, HVAC, and painting. The estimated cost for this work is $75,000, which computes to $47 per square foot. The owner of record is TEEBO Properties LLC, and SC Architecture serves as the design firm.

Scope and Cost Context

The scope of work is defined as repair and alteration of existing structures rather than new construction. In Gregg County, the median estimated cost for similar renovation filings is $250,000. This project’s cost is below the county median for its type, placing it in the bottom quarter of comparable filings. The median size for such projects in the county is 4,756 square feet, making this 1,600-square-foot renovation significantly smaller than the typical local filing. The median cost per square foot in the county is $70, whereas this project’s rate is below that benchmark.

SC Architecture is the registered design firm for this project. The firm has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $9,423,211, including ventures in Tyler, Diboll, Lewisville, and Graham. This Longview renovation is one of several projects associated with the firm in the public record. The registered accessibility specialist for this filing is Robert T Pierce. The project is privately funded on private land for private use, with no public funding listed in the record.

Timeline and Status

Construction was scheduled to begin in May 2026, following the April 2026 registration. Plan review was completed in July 2026. The filing indicates a scheduled completion date of September 2026, representing a build window of 123 days. This duration is longer than the county median scheduled build window of 92 days for renovation and alteration projects. TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.

The site is located in ZIP code 75601, which has a population of about 15,653 and a median household income of $63,279 according to U.S. Census estimates. Local coverage by cbs19.tv and news-journal.com reported that Equex Management Co LLC bought the property last year, identifying Christopher E. Ihionkhan as the president. These reports describe the company's ownership history but do not provide details on the specific renovation scope or completion status beyond the TDLR filing.
