Moss

What Moss does

Moss is a privately held, family-owned construction management and solar EPC firm headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, operating across five U.S. regional markets: South Florida, Mid-Florida, Dallas-Fort Worth, Hawai'i, and Energy Infrastructure (Southern U.S.). The company delivers two core service lines. The first is commercial construction management, covering multi-family residential, hospitality, healthcare, education, government, sports, transportation, office and commercial, and wood-frame projects. The second is utility-scale solar EPC with integrated battery energy storage (BESS), in which Moss self-performs engineering, procurement, and construction. With 1,400+ employees, the firm has delivered more than 25 GW of solar capacity and ranks as the #1 ENR Top Contractor in Solar and #34 overall among the ENR Top 400 US Contractors for 2025.

The company monetizes primarily through project-based fees — competitive bids, negotiated contracts, or cost-plus arrangements — with a multi-year contract cadence and no published pricing tiers. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting large developers, government entities, and institutional clients, with an early-engagement preconstruction model that includes design model QA/QC, quantity takeoffs, value engineering, life-cycle costing, site scanning, robotic layout, and 4D scheduling. The customer base spans marquee projects such as Cipriani Residences Miami, the Ritz-Carlton Residences of Sarasota, JW Marriott Clearwater Beach, Inter Miami CF's Lockhart Stadium, Boca Raton Regional Hospital, Strategic Property Partners' Water Street Tampa, and the City of Fort Lauderdale Police Headquarters. A 78% repeat-client business rate reflects durable relationship equity. The December 2025 acquisition of Tampa-based Ellison Construction and active pursuit of large mixed-use redevelopments (e.g., the $6.8B St. Petersburg Historic Gas Plant District LOI) signal continued regional and vertical expansion under family leadership (Bob L. Moss as Chairman/Founder, Scott Moss as CEO).
