Cuesta Construction’s expertise is in managing multi-faceted, complex projects while offering turnkey solutions and providing single-source accountability on every project. While all developers and owners of construction projects pay considerable regard to the major variables within the industry – budgeting, scheduling and quality – we realize individual owners are required to place varying degrees of importance on each of these priorities. With this in mind, we approach projects with precise attention to your requirements and your clients’ needs.
PRE-CONSTRUCTION
Before starting work, our team conducts preliminary planning and development with you to help create a detailed roadmap. We are firm believers in open and direct communication, integrity and principal involvement, all the while working to attain your goals. We fulfill your vision for a project by working closely with your architect, listening to your needs and responding with an outline for each step. Utilizing our more than two decades of experience, we will map your custom project’s scope of work, design, schedule and budget. That solid, clear plan can save time and money throughout the build.
GENERAL CONTRACTING
Cuesta has spent the past 20-plus years providing top-notch general contracting services. Our dedicated experts share a passion for what they do which extends naturally to each project in the form of quality, innovation, timeliness and overall client satisfaction. The combined efforts and commitment of the Cuesta Team to its clients has placed Cuesta atop its industry. In 2017, the company received an Eagle Award from the ABC Florida East Coast Chapter for the ABAE Hotel on South Beach. The company collaborates with a roster of recognized subcontractors on projects ranging from luxury residential, to historical restoration, to retail and restaurants.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
At Cuesta, our projects are managed from conception through completion. That includes the constructability analysis and pre-construction meetings that anticipate challenges and eliminate waste. During construction, we utilize the latest reporting tools and technologies to keep you informed of every step while providing value through single-source accountability and high-level customization. Our meticulous preparation and attention to detail contribute to effective execution, especially on renovation projects where preserving the charm of an historic property while bringing it up to date is key. Our high-quality construction and project management techniques produce an exceptional project that meets or beats budget and schedule goals.
HISTORICAL RESTORATION
Cuesta understands the attention to detail and careful planning needed when taking on a historical restoration project. Keeping the integrity of the structure while restoring these historical gems is a specialty of ours. We have preserved the architectural beauty of South Beach hotels from the early and mid-1900s. Its projects include the award winning Vintro Hotel, a gem from the Art Deco era, where the company created a fresh look in the guest rooms, while adding additional floors to the existing structure. It also updated the Tides Village Hotel on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach, an Art Deco hotel built in 1936, by preserving its classic look while incorporating modern amenities.
DESIGN-BUILD
From start to finish, Cuesta can bring your design ideas to fruition with our design-build solutions. From planning through construction, we can fulfill your needs with just one contract. We regularly team with renowned architects and engineers, and bring them to the table based on how well their talents and experience match a client’s needs and budget. We take the same approach to subcontractors with which we have developed long-term relationships based on their superior performance. We will collaborate with you throughout the entire process to make sure the project is completed to the highest standards with your needs and budget in mind.
CONSTRUCTABILITY ANALYSIS
With our constructability analysis, you have the ability to review the construction process from start to finish during the pre-construction phase. Our project management experience and tools help to prevent errors, delays and cost overruns. It also identifies challenges ahead of construction so that we can collaborate with architects and engineers to develop solutions that preserve the timeline and budget.
