JP Wiseman Construction

What JP Wiseman Construction does

JP Wiseman Construction, LLC is a Florida-based design-build commercial construction company headquartered in Lakewood Ranch, Florida. Founded in 2020 by John P. Wiseman, a veteran of the Florida construction industry since 1988 and former president of one of Florida's largest construction management companies for over 25 years, the firm offers end-to-end project delivery spanning pre-construction services (programming, planning, and estimating) through execution. The company operates under Florida General Contracting License CGC 043320 and serves clients exclusively within the State of Florida.

The firm targets four primary verticals: senior living and senior housing (independent living, assisted living, memory care), student housing, multi-family residential, and education and public buildings, with secondary exposure to healthcare facilities and places of worship. Named projects include 81 Oaks Senior Living in Sarasota, the DeSota mixed-use building (180 units), Tuscan Gardens Venice (272 senior living units), Sumner High School (a 285,000 SF school for Hillsborough County), and off-campus student housing near Florida Gulf Coast University. The company employs 12 people and is privately held, veteran-owned, with no external institutional funding.

Revenue is generated through project-based contracts, typically fixed-price or construction manager at risk (CMAR) arrangements, with pricing determined by scope and complexity on a per-project basis. GTM is relationship-driven and direct, leveraging the founder's industry standing, Florida Building Commission appointments, and community involvement. Marketing is primarily through a professional website showcasing project portfolio and through local industry associations. The company is too small for its cumulative $2B+ contract figure to be attributable solely to the entity — that figure reflects the founder's 35+ year career including prior firms.
