Est. 2016 — Jacksonville, Florida

Planning, design, construction. Streamlined.

We build in clinics that stay open, plants that keep running, and schools that stay in session. Licensed as both a general and a mechanical contractor, Arete holds the contract, runs the schedule, and carries the risk — from preconstruction through warranty and ongoing maintenance.

02 — Markets we serve

Public. Industrial. Commercial.

Public

Construction and consulting for public entities — government agencies and educational institutions — with a proven track record of high-quality, cost-effective solutions built around the constraints public work carries.

Industrial

Design and construction of industrial facilities, with extensive experience in ammonia refrigeration systems and current technologies and safety standards. New facilities through upgrades to existing plants.

Commercial

Construction and consulting for a wide range of businesses and organizations — retail, office, and hospitality. We phase the work so your operation keeps running throughout.

How a project runs

Four phases, whatever the contract size.

Phase 01
Preconstruction

Programming, feasibility, budgeting, and value engineering. We identify the delivery method that fits the project before drawings are finalized.

Phase 02
Buyout & permitting

Trade procurement, scope leveling, permit submission, and schedule lock. Cost is fixed here and reported to the owner in the open.

Phase 03
Construction

Daily site management, safety enforcement, QA/QC against specification, and phased sequencing so your operation keeps running.

Phase 04
Closeout & care

Punch list, commissioning, as-builts, and warranty — followed by preventative maintenance with response inside 24 hours.
