What Waltbillig & Hood General Contractors does

Waltbillig & Hood General Contractors is a privately held commercial general contracting and construction management firm headquartered in Naples, Florida, with a secondary office in Fort Myers. Co-founded in 2016 by Jay Waltbillig and Brian Hood, the firm was bootstrapped using personal savings and remains founder-owned without institutional capital. It delivers projects via three core service lines — preconstruction, construction management, and design-build — across healthcare, commercial, multifamily/senior living, automotive, storage, club/amenity, and zoological verticals, primarily in the Southwest Florida market.

The firm competes primarily through healthcare specialization (approximately 50% of revenue) and complex commercial builds, executing under fixed-price or cost-plus contract structures for enterprise clients such as NCH Healthcare System, Arthrex, Taylor Morrison, Physicians Regional, Porsche Studio Naples, Germain BMW Naples, 7-Eleven, and Mainsail Apartments. Notable completed work includes the $35 million NCH Healthcare Bonita outpatient facility and a portfolio that has collectively surpassed half a billion dollars in completed project value. The company holds a $100M+ bonding program and has grown headcount from six employees at founding to approximately 40 by late 2022.

Commercially, Waltbillig & Hood relies on relationship-driven, enterprise field sales rather than broad digital marketing, with approximately 70% of business derived from repeat clients — a key indicator of embedded trust and project-to-project continuity. Geographic expansion into Sarasota, Bradenton, and the Carolinas has been announced, alongside a talent pipeline partnership with Florida Gulf Coast University. The firm holds two Florida Certified General Contractor licenses (CGC1523185 and CGC1524268) and is recognized as one of Southwest Florida's leading general contractors by regional press and industry directories.
