INTRODUCTION
INNOVATING SINCE DAY 1 Firmo Construction’s mission is to create inspiring, memorable structures, elevating each project to its fullest potential.Established in 2003, Firmo was formed with the purpose of approaching construction in a collaborative, forward-thinking, and sustainable manner. Innovating since our first project on day 1, transforming an abandoned assisted-living facility into a revitalized, award-winning Homewood Suites by Hilton, we’ve always remained at the cutting-edge of our industry. Firmo is a licensed, insured, and bonded general contractor and construction management firm with experience managing large-scale projects
across diverse markets. Our team of experts offer guidance across all construction phases, from initial development to completion, to deliver a safe, quality structure that is built to last and inspire. An early adopter of USGBC’s LEED system, we began implementing sustainability and efficiency practices into projects when the program was still in its infancy. Our team built the first LEED CS Silver Office building in Sarasota, FL as well as the first LEED Hampton Inn and Suites Hotel in the world. Today, our portfolio reflects award-winning commercial projects spanning adaptive reuse, infill developments, tenant improvements, healthcare and hospitality projects, and ground-up builds. Headquartered in Sarasota, Fla., we’re nationally licensed for any project, and strive to deliver unparalleled quality in our work; on time and within budget. INTRODUCTION • 3

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
HOW WE WORK Utilizing our expertise in commercial development, design, and project management, our team is dedicated to optimizing each project to yield the best result - always with the Client’s best interest and ultimate vision at the forefront.
With our full-service and collaborative approach to all phases of construction, we lessen stress and frustration for clients. Our team leaders have established long lasting relationships with qualified trade partners, allowing us to select the most appropriate parties to best deliver our client’s project. By balancing the many facets of a project for our clients and removing the silos that often hinder traditional construction projects, Firmo effectively oversees the project from day one - providing peace of mind to our clients.

DESIGN-BUILD
A COLLABORATIVE METHOD Firmo Construction offers expertise in Design-Build, an innovative and collaborative construction method that delivers optimal results by reducing risk, cost, and time.
We’ve worked on Design-Build projects since the beginning, with our first being the award-winning Homewood Suites on Fruitville. Since then, our team has executed more than 2 dozen Design-Build projects.
As a Design-Builder, our mission is to execute both the design and construction phases under a single contract, reducing the Owner’s exposure to a singular point of responsibility and contact throughout.
Projects under Design-Build have also been the most successful in getting Clients to occupancy of their space quickly. They’ve also offered value engineering solutions, often with significant cost savings that range from hundreds of thousands to millions.
DESIGN-BUILD • 15
VIRTUAL REALITY A COST-SAVING TOOL As experts in Design-Build construction, we are committed to optimizing every build. Through the use and implementation of the latest Virtual Realtiy (VR) and LiDAR technology, we’ve crafted a new VR service offering for Owners looking to reduce the risk, cost, and timeline of their design-build.
This use of VR to troubleshoot construction complications in the early stages of the project not only streamlines the build before it starts, it also promotes optimal project results for the final build which allows us to offer our clients a no change order guarantee. The use of virtual reality in the design-build process creates new advantages for the Owner including; mitigating issues, enhancing communication, reducing risk, staying on or ahead of schedule, and creating long-term value.

FAIRFIELD INN BY MARRIOTT ALPHARETTA, GEORGIA
FAIRFIELD INN BY MARRIOTT TAMPA, FLORIDA
SCENIC HOTEL IN THE TREES. Our team, in partnership with HOS Management and Elevate Architecture Studio, will deliver this Marriott model just a few minutes away from downtown Alpharetta. The future five-story Fairfield Inn will feature 166 guest rooms, a fitness room, bike racks, and electrical vehicle charging stations. At a little over 78,000 square feet, the structure will be situated on a six-acre lot. This is our third project in partnership with the Savannah-based HOS Management team.
GROUND-UP BUILD BY BUSCH GARDENS. The future Marriott model will be a 51,000 sf, five-story ground-up project with a fitness center, and an outdoor pool and patio area available to guests. Situated on a 2-acre lot, the site is located on North 30th Street off East Fowler Avenue, across the street from the popular Tampa amusement park, Busch Gardens.
