What The Diaz/fritz Group Inc does

The Diaz/Fritz Group Inc is a privately held, 100% employee-owned commercial general contractor headquartered in Tampa, Florida. Founded in 1985, the firm delivers design-build, construction management, and pre-construction services for ground-up and interior build-out projects across the Greater Tampa Bay and Central Florida regions. The company has completed over 2,000 commercial projects over 40+ years, with named engagements spanning healthcare (Evara Health, ChenMed, Bardmoor Medical Arts), senior living and affordable housing (Village on the Green, Baytown Apartments), private education (Celebree School, The Learning Experience), commercial office, retail/hospitality (Chicken Guy), technology (Malwarebytes), real estate development (Turner Impact Capital), and specialty automotive (The Motor Enclave, where the firm holds preferred-vendor status for luxury garage units and corporate fit-outs).

The business model is fee-based professional services: revenue is generated through project-based contracts with fees tied to construction cost or fixed pricing, on projects ranging from under $500,000 to over $5 million. Distribution is relationship-driven enterprise sales led by a Vice President of Business Development, supported by a qualified trade partner network of subcontractors and suppliers. The operational platform is built around Procore for project tracking, documentation, and collaboration; client testimonials specifically cite more thorough use of Procore than peer contractors.

Leadership consists of Co-Founder/CEO Del Diaz, President Wayne Ismark, VP of Business Development Robyn Huber (appointed to the Board in November 2024), and VP of Commercial Construction Chris Ladouceur (promoted August 2025). The firm relocated its Tampa headquarters in November 2025 after 20 years at its prior site. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, there are no outside investors or parent entities, and there is no indication of AI/ML capability beyond standard project-management software.
