BUILDING A LEGACY FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS, TANDEM CONSTRUCTION HAS BEEN A TRUSTED FIXTURE IN THE REGION, TACKLING SOME OF THE MOST HIGH-PROFILE PROJECTS IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA. Each client feels like they are Tandem’s only client. Each project is managed with “commitment, focus, and professionalism”, a mantra that has anchored Tandem’s service since its inception. “I believe we’ve chosen a path that is, perhaps, slightly different from other construction firms. We purposefully become an extension of our clients’ operations. We help to guide them, understand their goals and realize their vision” says Peter J. Hayes, Founder and President of the Sarasota-based company. “Our client relationships become long-term relationships, built on trust.” This approach is fitting for a multi-generational, family-owned business like Tandem, which was founded in 1980 and has since become known for its exceptional construction management services. Tandem has built schools, government facilities, performing arts centers, corporate headquarters and office buildings, sports and recreational facilities, restaurants, hotels, and a diverse portfolio of public and private facilities in Southwest Florida. Under the leadership of Hayes and Brian Leaver (Principal and Senior Vice President), the company has tripled in size since the early 2000s. “Our culture is about leadership, accountability, teamwork and dedication to our clients. That starts with the individual. Our team is comprised of professionals who genuinely care about each other.” Hayes says. “It is for this reason that our average employee tenure spans more than a decade, an achievement that is incredibly rare in this industry and one that has strengthened brand loyalty with our clients.”These clients include public entities, governments, and school boards, paired with high-profile, local, and international businesses, such as IMG Academy, Sarasota Yacht Club, the Asolo Repertory Theatre, the Atlanta Braves, the Baltimore Orioles, and Gatorade/PepsiCo.
