Established in 2003, Firmo Construction was founded with a vision to develop, design, and build in a forward-thinking way. From our very first project—the transformation of an abandoned assisted living facility into an award-winning Homewood Suites by Hilton—to our current design build services, Firmo has remained at the forefront of the industry. Our approach combines proven expertise with forward-thinking practices to create long-term value for owners, partners, and end users.

Over the past two decades, Firmo has grown into a national builder with a strong focus on hospitality. Our portfolio features award-winning and notable projects for leading hotel brands, including Marriott and Hilton, across the Southeast United States. A highlight of this work is the world's first LEED-certified Hampton Inn and Suites Hotel, which reflects Firmo's commitment to innovation in hospitality construction. From ground-up builds and brand conversions to property improvement plans and design build delivery, we partner with owners and developers to create spaces that maximize value while elevating the guest experience.

Headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, with an established office in Atlanta, Georgia, Firmo is strategically positioned to serve clients throughout the Southeast and beyond. Our team embraces forward-thinking construction practices, leveraging innovation and collaboration to deliver projects on time, within budget, and to the highest standard of quality.
