Builcore shapes South Florida’s signature spaces
South-Florida based high-end commercial and luxury residential contractor, Builcore, blends industry-leading expertise with a personal touch. The company celebrated its first decade of success last year and since then has continued to reach new heights. Reflecting on the company’s history and its values, Dany Sebaaly, President and Chief Executive Officer, shares: “Since our founding in 2014, we’ve built a reputation for delivering projects defined by precision, quality, and a deeply personalized client experience. The company was born out of a desire to raise the standards of construction in South Florida. After spending two decades managing complex projects in cities like Boston, New York, and Washington, DC, I saw firsthand what true professionalism and craftsmanship looked like. When I relocated to South Florida, I noticed a gap in the market for builders who combined technical expertise with transparency and reliability, so I founded Builcore with a mission to fill that gap.
“Starting from scratch, without clients or established vendor relationships, we built the company project by project, relationship by relationship. Today, Builcore is proud to be a trusted name in the industry, known for our meticulous attention to detail, clear communication and commitment to delivering exceptional results, whether it’s a ground-up waterfront home or a Class-A office build-out.”
From large-scale commercial projects to bespoke home builds, Builcore constantly delivers top-notch results. As Dany affirms: “Our core expertise lies in custom home building – creating luxury residences that reflect each client’s unique vision and lifestyle. Beyond residential work, Builcore excels in high-end commercial construction, including office renovations, upscale retail spaces, and other premium commercial projects.
“We don’t settle for anything less than excellence. At Builcore, we continuously push the boundaries of luxury construction, striving to surpass expectations and raise the bar with every project we undertake.”
Building trust with its client base is one way in which Builcore offers an elevated standard of service. Dany highlights the importance of fostering strong connections with clients throughout the entire process: “From the initial consultation to project completion, we prioritize building strong relationships with our clients through proactive communication and attentive service. Every client is assigned a dedicated project manager who serves as a single point of contact, ensuring clarity, responsiveness and continuity throughout the process.
“We begin by carefully listening to our clients’ needs and expectations, then we guide them through each phase with clear timelines, regular updates, and collaborative decision-making. We leverage our in-house team of skilled professionals to maintain control over quality and scheduling, which helps us deliver consistently high standards with minimal surprises.
“What truly sets us apart is our attention to detail, not just in terms of construction, but in how we serve our clients. We believe that a luxury homebuilding experience should be as refined and seamless as the finished product. That means respecting our clients’ time, budget, and vision at every step, while anticipating challenges and resolving them swiftly.”
Consistent standards
Having made a name for itself in commercial construction, Builcore successfully branched out into premium residential contracting to meet the demands of a post-pandemic world. Dany points out: “Before the COVID-19 pandemic, commercial projects accounted for approximately 70 percent of our total revenue. We built a solid reputation for precision, reliability and delivering high-end finishes within tight commercial timelines, often collaborating with prominent architects and interior designers across South Florida.
“However, the market dynamics in South Florida shifted significantly post-pandemic, with a surge in demand for luxury residential projects. In response, we strategically expanded our focus on custom homes and high-end condo renovations, which now represent about 60 percent of our business. Despite the shift, commercial work remains a vital part of our portfolio and continues to account for around 40 percent of our revenue.
“Our approach to switching between commercial and residential sectors lies in maintaining a versatile, experienced team and a structured project management process. While the project types differ in pace, scope and regulatory requirements, our standards for quality, communication and client service remain the same. This consistency allows us to seamlessly transition between sectors while meeting the unique needs of each client.”
Today, the company boasts award-winning landmark projects that push the boundaries of building. As Dany enthuses: “One project we’re especially proud to highlight is our renovation at Eighty-Seven Park in Miami Beach, which earned Builcore an Excellence in Construction Award from the Associated Builders and Contractors.
“Eighty-Seven Park, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano, is one of Miami’s most iconic residential towers, known for its refined modern architecture and panoramic ocean views. Being entrusted to execute a renovation within such a prestigious building was a true honor for our team.”
Emerging as a leading name in the South-Florida construction market, Builcore has a bright future ahead of it. Dany concludes by stating: “I envision Builcore continuing to lead the high-end construction market in South Florida while strategically expanding our presence into new territories and key luxury markets.
“Additionally, we want to continue nurturing the culture of excellence, integrity and precision that has defined Builcore from the start. Our ambition isn’t growth for growth’s sake; it’s to grow thoughtfully, maintain our high standards and remain the builder of choice for clients who demand the very best.”
