Howell Construction

What Howell Construction does

Howell Construction is a privately-held, founder-era general contracting firm founded in 1981 and headquartered at 1746 10th Way, Sarasota, FL. The company provides general contracting, subcontracting, design, construction management, and self-perform carpentry and millwork services for commercial, residential, hospitality, and historical restoration projects across Florida and the Southeast United States. Its customer base spans private homeowners, hospitality operators (Don Cesar Hotel, Florida Mall Hotel & Conference Center), food and beverage (Tropicana), aviation (Venice Airport/Sunshine Aviation), and government clients (Sarasota County historical restorations including the SRQ Waterworks Building, Wilson House, and Pritchard House).

The firm's core technology is craft-based rather than software-based: Howell operates as one of a few self-performing general contractors in the Florida market, maintaining in-house carpentry and millwork crews that work alongside subcontractors, with historical restoration executed to Secretary of Interior standards. Notable technical capabilities include insurance restoration, concrete restoration, and design services with in-house designers, supporting projects from custom homes up to approximately 7,600 square feet through multi-million-dollar hospitality and public-sector work, exemplified by the $12-14 million Don Cesar Hotel renovation program.

Howell Construction generates revenue through one-time, fixed-price project contracts under a professional services revenue model. Customer acquisition is sales-led and overwhelmingly referral-driven, supported by a website gallery, direct phone inquiries, and direct outreach, with no formal referral program or marketing automation disclosed. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, varying by project scope and specifications, and contracts can span multiple years on larger commercial or hospitality engagements. The firm reports 1-10 employees and is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investors, parent entities, or public listing.
