Description:
THE COMPANY WAS FOUNDED BY MY ELDEST BROTHER IN 2006 AS A HARDSCAPE CONTRACTOR (BRICK PAVERS & DECORATIVE RETAINING WALLS) IN JULY OF 2008 MY ELDEST BROTHER OBTAINED HIS FLORIDA GENERAL CONTRACTOR LICENSE, MY NEXT ELDEST BROTHER WAS LAID OFF FROM THE SITE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY WE BOTH WORKED FOR AND THAT I QUALIFIED WITH MY UNDERGROUND CONTRACTORS LICENSE. IT WAS AT THIS POINT WE DECIDED TO JOIN OUR TALENTS AND FORM A COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION SOLUTION COMPANY. SO WE JOINED OUR LICESES AND WE ARE NOW A GENERAL AND UNDERGROUND UTILITY CONTRACTOR LICENSE #QB61890.
GIVEN THE MARKET, WE DON'T WANT TO BE JUST ANOTHER BUILDER, WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING WORTHWHILE AND MEANINGFUL IN THE COMMUNITY. AFTER MUCH DISCUSSION WE HAVE DECIDED TO FOCUS OUR EFFORTS IN AFFORDABLE SENIOR HOUSING (HOUSING FOR THE 66% OF SENIORS EARNING LESS THAN $1500/MONTH)
THE COMPANY HAD GREAT GROWTH AND REVENUE IN 06 & 07, BUT WITH THE SOFT CONSTRUCTION MARKET REVENUE IS DOWN, YET PROFITABILTIY IS STILL RESPECTABLE. OUR FOCUS IS TO CREATE REVENUE WHILE SOLVING A SOCIAL/ECONOMIC PROBLEM.
