What Rodda Construction Inc. does

Rodda Construction Inc. is a privately held, Lakeland, Florida-based general contractor founded in 1989 by John Rodda, serving commercial, government, K-12 and higher education, healthcare, industrial, multi-family, sports and entertainment, and worship clients across Central Florida and select out-of-state projects including Mississippi. The company delivers new construction, renovation, and tenant improvement projects via lump-sum, project-based contracts secured through competitive bidding (notably for public sector RFPs) and direct negotiation (for private sector work), with executed project sizes ranging from 6,000 sqft municipal renovations to 500,000 sqft industrial warehouse builds and 200,000 sqft K-8 schools. Its underlying technology stack consists of standard construction methodologies including tilt-up concrete construction and LEED-certified sustainable building practices, with a proprietary on-time, on-budget, no-waste project management approach and quantifiable outcomes such as 90% construction waste diversion and 13-month fast-track K-8 delivery. The revenue model is one-time project-based construction contracting with no disclosed pricing, recurring revenue, or backlog figures; revenue concentration sits in Polk County public-sector and institutional work, with no disclosed financing, no M&A activity, and no app, API, or AI-driven technology layer. Ownership remains with the Rodda family (President/CEO John Rodda; Jason Rodda recognized in 2015 for emerging leadership), and the company holds Florida contractor license CG-C1506703.
