Corporate Profile
|
Argos Builders, LLC is a full-service General Contractor whose corporate office is located in Winter Garden, Florida just west of Orlando. Founded in 2007, the company began when the construction industry was going through a tumultuous time. Argos Builders was able to hold steadfast during that time and began increasing when economic conditions improved. The company has been growing exponentially for the last few years, doubling in size as well as the number of projects completed in the 2013 calendar year and an increase of 85% in 2014.
From our headquarters in Florida, Argos Builders, LLC is able to manage projects nationwide, by deploying capable personnel to the project site. Our range of work has been predominantly in the eastern half of the United States. However, Argos Builders, LLC has worked a number of projects outside of this area and is capable of expanding into most any state as needed. Mission Statement: To develop successful and long lasting partnerships by exceeding expectations and building trust with our clients by producing a quality product on time and within budget.
By viewing clients as business partners and not merely a contract, we develop long-term, trusting relationships where clients request our services for future projects. Emphasis on honesty, communication, timeliness, and the quality of the finished product are the attributes for which the company has been highly recognized by clients. The importance and execution of time management skills is the attribute that sets us apart. This attribute also translates into time and cost savings on each project.

Philosophy: Our goal is to provide a quality product with the highest level of professionalism, integrity, honesty, and fairness at a fair market value.
We are a full-service commercial construction company that works with our clients before, during, and after the actual construction, customizing our services to meet the specific needs of that particular project.
Pre-construction - We offer pre-construction services to save time and money, assist in making early decisions about design, materials, and construction plans; streamline the construction project from start to finish to reduce the likelihood of change orders that drive up costs and cause delays; and provide competitive labor and materials estimates. Construction Management - We manage construction projects with both office and field expertise and efficiency. We have experienced management staff and on-site superintendents that are skilled in the management of time and budget, maintaining the construction schedule, and subcontractor and personnel coordination. Project Completion - We ensure that all aspects of the scope of work have been completed to the clients' satisfaction. As part of our close out process, we provide all close out documentation and perform a final walk-through with the client to present them with their new space.
