West Construction

What West Construction does

West Construction, Inc. is a privately held, multi-disciplinary construction and architecture firm founded in 1969 and headquartered in Lantana, Florida. The firm operates an integrated platform that combines general contracting, architecture, surveying (delivered through wholly-owned subsidiary West Surveying Services, LLC), infill development, and subsurface vacuum excavation services under a single coordinated team. Its core deliverables span public safety facilities (fire stations, police stations, marine rescue facilities), municipal and recreational infrastructure (parks, sports complexes, civic buildings), commercial construction, and residential work including luxury amenity deck renovations. Technical differentiators include in-house 3D scanning for detailed point-cloud site modeling and subsurface vacuum excavation for non-destructive utility locating in congested environments. The company holds Florida contractor licenses for architecture (AR 93859), general contracting (CGC 1516626), and land surveying (LS7104), and has completed 500+ projects with cumulative value above $1 billion across 50+ Florida government agencies.

West Construction pursues municipal and government contracts primarily through competitive bidding on public tenders, RFP responses, and direct negotiation for design-build and private commercial work. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeted at Florida cities, counties, and public-safety agencies, with a design-build and construction-manager-at-risk delivery model that emphasizes single-point accountability from site planning through close-out. Revenue is generated through one-time project contracts (general construction and amenity deck renovation) and professional services engagements (architecture and surveying), with project-specific pricing and no publicly disclosed rate cards. The firm's customer base is concentrated in the public sector, with marquee clients including the City of Coral Gables, City of Boynton Beach, City of Tamarac, Broward Sheriff's Office, and Monroe County, supplemented by commercial and residential developers. Leadership visibility includes CFO Frank Cestero, featured in Hispanic Executive in November 2025. Recognition includes the 2018 U.S. Green Building Council South Florida 'Most Outstanding Green Fire Station Award' for LEED Silver-certified Fire Station #110, and multiple LEED-certified and FGBC Green Commercial-certified projects across the portfolio.
