BDI Marine and Site Contractors

What BDI Marine and Site Contractors does

BDI Marine and Site Contractors is a privately held, family-owned Florida general contractor founded in 1981 and headquartered at 11718 SE Federal Hwy #222, Hobe Sound, FL. The firm provides marine construction and heavy civil sitework services to residential waterfront property owners, commercial waterfront and marina operators, and local, state, and federal government agencies. The company positions itself as a full-service design-build provider with in-house engineers, architects, and designers, and operates on a quote-based, project-by-project pricing model with free estimates. BDI has been in continuous operation for more than four decades, claims completion of tens of thousands of technically challenging projects, and is described in third-party sources as a family-owned business with no institutional investors or parent company.

The company's service portfolio is divided into two divisions. The Marina Construction division covers seawalls (including specialized Truline steel-reinforced concrete systems rated for 75+ year service life), rip rap erosion control, custom dock and pier construction, hydraulic and mechanical dredging, mooring pile systems, custom boat lifts, and marine recovery and salvage. The Sitework Services division delivers complete civil construction, underground utility installation using directional drilling, pump and lift station design and installation, helical and foundation pile installation, sheet piling and dewatering, concrete construction (including cast-in-place), commercial and residential demolition, and land clearing with in-house heavy equipment. Service coverage spans Martin County, Palm Beach County, St. Lucie County, and surrounding Florida communities, with dedicated service-area pages for Hobe Sound, Tampa, and Orlando. Demand capture occurs through direct phone contact (561-909-9898), website contact forms, on-site consultations, and a digital presence spanning Facebook, Instagram, Google My Business, Yelp, and Twitter.

BDI's business model is project-based and transactional. Revenue is generated through one-time project contracts for marine construction and sitework, plus equipment rental/hire for land clearing. Pricing is quote-based, with no published rate cards, and billing operates on a pay-as-you-go cadence tied to project milestones. The company holds no patents or trademarks, has no disclosed funding rounds, no subsidiaries, and no parent company. Its competitive positioning rests on long-standing tenure, Florida State licensed general contractor credentials, regulatory and permitting expertise, established government and commercial relationships, and the ability to deliver both marine and land-side scopes under a single contractor.
