Calusa is a commercial general contractor and design-build partner based in Palmetto, Florida. We handle ground-up construction, pre-construction planning, sitework and civil, and full project management for retail, light medical, industrial, and specialty commercial projects.
We're headquartered in Palmetto, FL (Manatee County) at 433 10th Ave. West. Manatee County and we have a satellite office in Jacksonville, Florida. We serve the surrounding Gulf Coast area as our home market, but we're licensed in 15 states and take on projects across Florida and beyond.
Yes. We're a Certified General Contractor in the State of Florida (License CGC 1533921) and licensed to build in 15 states.
Retail and multi-tenant commercial centers, and specialty commercial such as car condos, marine storage, flex warehouse, and mixed-use developments up to 80,000 sq ft. Light medical, and ground-up shell construction are core strengths.
Design-build means we engage early and manage the project as a single, accountable partner from planning through delivery, rather than simply bidding on completed plans. It streamlines communication, adds value in pre-construction, and reduces surprises. It's our preferred model because it lets us function as a true extension of your team.
We're a partner, not just a bid GC. Clients consistently cite our clear communication, transparent pricing, and follow-through. We're nimble enough to adapt mid-project without the bureaucracy of a large firm, and our design-build capability and deep local roots create lasting relationships rather than one-off transactions.
Our leadership brings 50+ years of combined experience and has delivered 5M+ square feet of commercial space and $50M+ in projects. That depth spans multiple sectors, so we bring proven problem-solving to every job.
Yes. Developer partnerships are central to how we work. For aligned clients we can provide acquisition-review support and light feasibility input, then carry the project through construction management. We're built for repeat, relationship-driven developer clients.
We offer end-to-end delivery: pre-construction estimating and value engineering, complete sitework and civil (utilities, paving, landscaping, drainage), ground-up construction, and dedicated on-site superintendents managing schedule, quality, and budget.
We focus on commercial work in our wheelhouse and generally don't pursue heavy medical or surgery centers, large healthcare facilities, or large-scale multifamily residential. This focus keeps our quality and communication consistent.
Transparency is a core commitment. We provide clear, competitive pricing and use pre-construction value engineering to optimize budgets before breaking ground, so you get no surprises from bid day through ribbon cutting.
Call us at (941) 716-9325 or reach out through our website to discuss your project. We'll review your goals, timeline, and budget, and recommend the right delivery approach to move forward.
