Ampersand
Construction
At Ampersand Construction, we redefine the standard for commercial construction in Sarasota and across the Gulf Coast. We specialize in delivering high-quality ground-up developments, tenant improvements, and large-scale renovations through a model of radical transparency and executive-level leadership.
By integrating Principal Oversight into every project, we ensure that your investment is protected by senior-level expertise from the initial site work to the final closeout. We don’t just build structures; we build the infrastructure for your business’s future success.
We offer a full suite of services tailored to the unique needs of the Florida commercial market:
Comprehensive management of subcontractors and site safety.
Specialized owner-advocacy and project leadership.
High-end interior renovations for medical, retail, and office spaces.
Strategic planning to maximize your ROI without sacrificing quality.
Eliminate the "unknowns" that plague traditional construction. Our Three-Phase Precision Estimating Process provides you with a clear financial roadmap, moving from 85% accurate concept calibrations to guaranteed hard bids.
We believe the best results stem from a partnership between the Client, the Architect, and the Construction Manager. This collaborative approach ensures that design and budget stay in lockstep, drastically shortening the timeline for critical decision-making.
Our clients enjoy absolute peace of mind through: (1) Weekly Critical Item Updates to keep projects on track (2) Real-Time Digital Reporting for total site transparency (3) Streamlined Permitting and Compliance to navigate local Sarasota County building regulations.
Our team’s portfolio includes award-winning and high-visibility commercial projects across Florida—executed with detail-driven craftsmanship and operational discipline.
