Acousti Engineering Company of Florida

What Acousti Engineering Company of Florida does

Acousti Engineering Company of Florida is a privately held commercial interior construction subcontractor founded in 1946 and headquartered in Orlando, FL. The company self-describes as the largest interior construction company in Florida and operates 20 branch locations across the southeastern United States, employing between 501 and 1,000 people. Its customer base is composed of general contractors, developers, and institutional owners in aviation, commercial, education, entertainment, government, healthcare, and hospitality verticals, with named projects for clients including ExxonMobil, Tampa International Airport, the US Army Corps of Engineers, the University of Florida, Blackbaud, and Universal Orlando.

The company's offering is organized around six integrated interior scopes: acoustical ceilings (its historical core), specialized flooring systems, architectural drywall and insulation, soundproofing/sound control, computer and access floor systems, and substrate preparation. Acousti acts as an agent and dealer for a range of manufacturer products (e.g., Armstrong grid systems), enabling it to assemble integrated interior finish packages on complex commercial builds. The company traces a historical product innovation to the 1950s, when its suspended ceiling assembly inspired Chicago Metallic Corporation's T-Bar suspension system.

Commercially, Acousti operates a sales-led, project-based subcontracting model. Revenue is earned through competitive bids and quoted proposals for general contractors on a per-project basis, with no disclosed public pricing or recurring license/SaaS revenue. The company is currently undergoing a change of control: private equity sponsor Ardian acquired the business in 2024, and in April 2026 Gamut Capital Management agreed to acquire Acousti from Ardian, with stated intent to expand geographically and pursue additional acquisitions. The business holds trade recognition including the 2024 CISCA Contractors Award and the 2025 ABC Excellence in Construction Award.
