"Welcome to
Cogdill Builders of Florida!"
| |
|
I was raised in a Florida
construction family (4th generation Floridian), spending
most summer vacations on jobsites. After receiving
my BS in Building Construction from |
| the
University of Florida (the oldest college level building
construction program in the United States) I decided to
expand my level of knowledge and experience beyond
residential construction. |
 |
|
Joining companies such as Metric Constructors, J.A. Jones, and
Vogel Brothers Building Company, I built some of the most
demanding and fascinating projects I could have ever imagined,
including FDOT transportation projects, power generation
stations, waste water treatment plants, and numerous specialty
engineering and heavy civil projects.
In 2000, I decided to re-join
my family’s Florida construction business, Cogdill Builders,
Inc. and in 2003 I launched a split-off company, Cogdill
Builders of Florida, Inc. to pursue homebuilding and specialty
design-build projects outside the typical geographical areas
served by the family business.
 |
A friend asked me "what do
you like about homebuilding?" The simple answer
is: satisfaction of all involved. Satisfaction in the
relationships I make with my clients, trade contractors,
vendors, and the wide variety of individuals I encounter
every day.
While the engineering
and heavy industrial-type construction provided me a
high level of tangible accomplishment, there is no
substitute for the satisfaction I feel in handing over a
new home to a family after having designed and built
that new home and realizing I have just made a new set
of long term friends. |

| In
addition to home building, I'm also involved in dental office
design-build. This actually happened by accident. As a favor, I
helped a local dentist procure engineering and environmental
consultant services for a piece of property he was planning to
sell. Some time after the sale, he approached me about
building a new office to replace the small office he had
outgrown. |
Standish Dental Office
Design-Build, 2006 |
I had attended an
excellent seminar by Total Healthcare Environments (www.thedesign.com) on dental office design and was eager to build one. The
dentist and I began preliminary designs and after a few
refinements to the original, began construction. The result was
breath-taking and the Dentists’ practice, productivity, and his
staff’s job satisfaction level exceeded all expectations. (see
the commercial gallery part of the photo gallery). Currently, I
actively pursue dental office projects along with custom homes.
|
| In
conclusion, custom homebuilding allows me to bring together in
one place my enjoyment of design, the experience of building,
and the feeling of creating satisfied clients and new friends.
So, contact me today to discuss
your project directly with me. I personally guarantee that
you will be extremely satisfied with the services we offer and
that the results we deliver to you will exceed your
expectations.
Thanks and regards,
