J&J Building

What J&J Building does

J&J Building is a family-owned custom home builder founded in 1976 and headquartered in Oakland, Florida, serving the Central Florida market (Winter Garden, Oakland, and greater Orlando area). The company designs and constructs fully custom, site-specific single-family residences for individual homebuyers, operating as a preferred builder in two master-planned communities — Oakland Park (a 258-acre certified green community) and Briley Farm (a 111-acre community) — while also building on client-owned lots across the region. Leadership is multi-generational: co-founders Jerry Miller (CEO) and Jim Costello (President) remain active alongside second-generation owner/director Kelly Miller, supported by a COO, project managers, a senior designer, sales, and warranty staff.

The core offering is end-to-end custom home construction, encompassing feasibility assessment, architectural design (up to a 120-day design agreement period), engineering and permitting (12–16 weeks engineering, 30–45 days permitting), and physical construction (10–14 months from permit issuance to turnover). The firm demonstrates multi-style architectural expertise spanning Colonial Revival, Folk Victorian, Spanish Revival, Craftsman, and Modern Farmhouse designs. Technology is limited to standard architectural design software and project management tools; there is no proprietary technology platform or AI/ML capability.

Revenue is generated on a project-by-project basis with each home representing a one-time, quote-based contract (pricing varies by lot, size, design complexity, and finish selections) — not disclosed publicly. Go-to-market combines direct sales from the Oakland headquarters office, model home presence at Briley Farm, community sales-center partnerships, and a content-marketing engine anchored by the Porch Chronicles YouTube video series plus Houzz, Instagram, and Facebook channels. Customer acquisition is primarily referral-driven (repeat buyers, word-of-mouth, and real estate professional recommendations), with documented customers having built two to three homes with the company over multi-year horizons.

Revenue model

1. Custom Home Construction: J&J Building generates revenue through one-time custom home construction projects. Each home is uniquely designed and built to client specifications, with pricing based on lot acquisition (client-owned or purchased through communities), custom design fees, construction costs, and finishes/selections. Revenue is project-based and non-recurring per client, though many clients build multiple homes with the company over time.
