About
We Care Most About the Parts Nobody Photographs
Romco Builders is a licensed Florida general contractor. On industrial work, the elevations matter least and the ground and the floor matter most.
The geotechnical report, the intended clear height and the likely tenant profile. Those three tell us more than a full set of drawings.
The slab
The one element a tenant judges on, and cannot fix
Self-perform
Dewatering and deep foundations in house
Commodity
Fire protection designed to what is actually stored

General contractor, licensed in the state of Florida
Why the ground comes first
An industrial building covers an enormous footprint, which means any ground problem is a problem across all of it. Florida adds a shallow, frequently tidal water table, and dewatering across that area is a substantial operation rather than a pump in a hole.
We self-perform dewatering and deep foundations. It means the largest schedule risk on the job belongs to the same contract you do.
Why the slab comes second
Flatness and levelness are produced in a single continuous operation that cannot be repeated. They are measurable and specifiable, and afterwards they can only be ground — expensively, disruptively and partially.
So we agree numbers rather than descriptions, prepare and verify the subgrade, coordinate joints with the rack layout where the tenant is known, and measure the result honestly whatever it says.
What we tell developers
That the clear height will not pay for itself in this submarket. That the geotechnical report is inadequate for a footprint this size. That the truck court cannot serve the door count. That the fire protection assumption will not suit a likely tenant.
Each of those is unwelcome and each is far cheaper said during design.
Licensing
Romco Builders is a licensed Florida general contractor. Where project experience described across our sites was delivered by our leadership before or alongside the firm, we say so explicitly rather than presenting it as company history.
