It started with a question: How can we best frame the construction process around the customer?
After all, to construct a house that will live as a home, and to build a commercial space that works, it is imperative to build with first consideration for the people these spaces and structures will surround.
Whether it’s for constructing a commercial building or a luxury residence, the basic formula for success is simple: Build once, well. And we exceed expectations when it comes to this, as superior quality and craftsmanship are evident in every single structure we build. However, it’s the process and the relationships that separate one construction company from another, and we believe this process should be seamless and enjoyable.
We’re not just building structures, here. We are creating unique, lasting spaces - legacies within which individuals deserve to live well and thrive. For commercial and residential clients, alike, we are ultimately constructing a lifestyle which, from day one, needs to be framed around the people living it.
BUILD ‘broke ground’ in 2006. What started out as a small SWFL construction management firm has grown into a highly esteemed and top ranked company. We maintain an exceptionally diverse project portfolio, thanks to the diversity of our clients. We are a multi-million dollar business – with a myriad of Sand Dollar, Summit, and Aurora awards under our construction belt – and we continue to put the importance of our clients’ experience of the entire building process first.
Our commitment to total quality management from preconstruction all the way through warranty administration has paved the way for BUILD to be where we are, ensuring our clients feel they are always where they need to be along the construction path.
Welcome to BUILD, working together with you will be our pleasure and yours!
Sincerely,
Jay Howard and William Gaston Principals and Founders of BUILD, LLC

”BUILD uses the incredibly important pre-construction period to set up your project for success. Success, for all project participants, means beginning with the end result in mind.”
- William Gaston, Principal/Co-Founder


The First Step: Pre-Construction
The team that meets during the pre-construction kick-off meeting is the team that hands over the keys.
Our approach at BUILD is unique in that the people leading the pre-construction effort will be the team building the project. Other contractors tend to have one team work on the pre-construction phase, and then they will hand it off to the operations team. This won’t fly at BUILD, because we consider ourselves one group with the singular goal of building a successful project. This is why we require the entire team to work together during the concept and program analysis, providing optimal facility options and cost savings.


“We will be a proactive, valuable team member with positive input that makes the entire process enjoyable.”
- AJ Bremerman, Vice President


Our Estimating/Operations Team provides an evaluation of the design’s impact on constructability, phasing, site utilization, trade coordination, vehicular and pedestrian traffic patterns, safety, and security. BUILD Estimating/ Operations Team members have over 100 years of combined construction management, preconstruction, and estimating experience and are readily available for your project.
After each plan review session we will provide:
• Complete price breakdown
• List of qualifications and assumptions
• Updated schedule
• Detailed constructability review
• Cost comparison to previous budgets
• Value engineering suggestions
Throughout the pre-construction and construction process, we will be proactive in providing cost-effective solutions to any inconsistencies, design conflicts, or areas impacting budget boundaries while maintaining the design teams’ creative concepts and aesthetic integrity.



From our initial estimate to the final GMP, your BUILD project team will utilize On-Screen Takeoff®, along with our custom database, to provide detailed estimates during all stages of the design. We maintain a comprehensive database, allowing us to perform high-level programmatic check estimates of overall costs.
The initial estimate for your project will be extremely detailed and include a listing of budget assumptions for a line-by-line review with the owner and the design professionals to assure the assumptions are correct. Any changes in the assumptions will be adjusted accordingly, producing a final preliminary budget for the project. We will use the preliminary budget to assist the design team as the documents are developed.






A big reason why BUILD is such a trusted company is our insistence upon controlling costs at all times. We are able to achieve this by acquiring multiple bids for each scope of work and then having a complete open-book review of all bids with the owner. We also provide highly defined scopes of work for each trade, in order to avoid additional costs.
BUILD also becomes very familiar with any existing conditions, as this helps us be prepared for some of the unforeseen issues that other, less savvy general contractors may not be aware.
We walk each and every subcontractor through the site prior to signing them up for the scope of work. This helps eliminate the “I didn’t know” response from subcontractors. Throughout the entire process we are continually ensuring there will be no surprises.
“Our depth of historical pricing and constructability experience allows us to analyze not only initial cost and schedule impacts, but also expected life cycle and maintenance costs resulting in the best value for the chosen product or system.”
- Brian Mayotte, Vice President

As we move through the design process, BUILD will provide detailed value engineering (VE) suggestions with each budget estimate. We will maintain a running “Value Engineering” log, fully detailed to include at minimum a description, date, cost, time impact, division of work/scope, and approval position. In addition, BUILD actively pursues additional VE during the construction process to provide all options to the project team.
We produce the following reports to allow the owner and the architect to make the best choice for the value of cost:
• Life cycle cost analysis
• Evaluation report of systems and equipment
• Cost analysis from historical data for similar systems or products



At BUILD, we always strive to find the best-qualified subcontractors with the most competitive pricing. We feel it is imperative to utilize local subcontractors and vendors as often as possible. Using local resources keeps revenue local, provides a sense of ownership for the subcontractor employees, and also minimizes response time to the facility. We treat all subcontractors/vendors fairly and honestly, provide efficient scheduling and supervision, and guarantee a safe workplace. It is important that all of our team members have a successful project.
“We do not
miss our completion dates.”
- Scott McConnelee, Estimator/Project Manager

Scheduling Resources
Our team members are highly experienced in the details of scheduling projects and can provide scheduling for the pre-construction and construction on your project. Scheduling is one of our top five management tools on our projects and has significantly attributed to our success as a company.
BUILD utilizes Microsoft Project scheduling software. We also use third party schedulers on projects when the client requests. Our subcontractors are involved in the construction scheduling process; they provide manpower and task duration information then collaborate with us on the sequence of activities to create the Overall Project Schedule.
Every week we hold schedule update meetings with all current subcontractors. These weekly schedule updates are critical to maintaining and consistently improving upon project schedules.



Our firm fully understands that quality and service must be a top priority and we strongly promote that fact in all aspects of our company. We have an uncompromising commitment to total quality management from pre-construction through warranty administration. It is the responsibility of the Construction Manager to ensure that everything installed on the project meets or exceeds the established plans and specifications. Our quality assurance program includes extensive written guidelines that are performed and are the responsibility of our superintendents. Our QC requirements are communicated to our subcontractors, suppliers, manufacturers, and design team.
Pre-construction is the first and best opportunity for us to establish effective quality control measures. In this phase, we are able to review the project specifications and plans with the design team and the client to get a solid understanding of the operational needs and goals of the facility. Once this is understood, we can make recommendations on construction means and methods that can complement and enhance the project’s goals. These procedural steps provide efficient integration with the team’s objectives and allow us to better communicate detail and quality levels desired of the subcontractors and suppliers.



competitive advantage
We at BUILD focus on the customer and their needs, we ensure to deliver a top notch project. The relationships we make stay long after our clients have signed off on their projects, and this is because we promote excellence not just in the structures we build, but in the people we work with. Subcontractor relationships are one of our top priorities, we strive to find the best qualified subcontractors with the most competitive pricing. We feel it is imperative to utilitize local subcontractors, using local resources keeps revenue local and provides a sense of ownership for the subcontractor’s employees.
competitiveness and effectiveness
Competitiveness and effectiveness is measured for BUILD in the industry by our repeat clients. Excellence is provided which is then recognized by our customers through loyalty and the referral to others.

This project was a 32,000 square foot renovation/addition of the AudiVolkswagen dealership in Naples, FL. The dealership remained operational throughout the entire renovation, so the project was scheduled as a multiphased renovation, completed in smaller sections to minimize the impact of the daily operations. The project included a complete renovation of the VW showroom, service waiting room, office additions, and a newVW service facade. A state of the art Audi service center was added along with a new car wash and detail area. These changes allows Audi-VW to enhance their level of service and comfort while accommodating additional staff and inventory.

Previously an iconic millwork factory (in business for over 60 years), this 7,200 square foot renovation required a complete overhaul. By retaining the existing structure, the owner was able to maintain all 7,200 square feet of commercial space. However, renovation of the existing building required completely removing and replacing the roof, in addition to removing the entire front of the building and adding a new facade. The old Naples Millwork building is now home to a redefined, modern edged showroom for trade home furnishings leader Kravet – a brand new lightfilled space to artfully display its tenant’s decorative fabrics and furnishings.

Modeled after modern day speakeasies, this elevated chic cocktail lounge was designed to give the feel of a five-star bar with a tropical twist. More of an experience rather than a conventional bar, the owner envisioned the cocktail list to read like a round the world trip with a menu allocated by continent.
Hand painted jungle mural wraps around the lounge’s interior, crowned with a gold ceiling, dark wood walls, green velvet banquettes, and a horseshoe shaped honey onyx bar with mirrors and foliage.
By the banquettes, long white feathers (remnants of the Gatsby New Year’s Eve party) add a touch of Gilded Age glamour while most of the vintage art nouveaupostersnodtopersonalexperienceandplacestheownerhasvisited.
