Our Success Story

It all started in 1997 when Joe Leonello and his father started their own construction firm. They were soon joined by Joe's brother, Frank, in 2003 and, thus, the Franjo legacy was born. Franjo Builders is an affiliate of Franjo Construction. Franjo Builders' legacy begins in 1980 with the incorporation of GSD Contracting in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The team built a solid foundation and was recognized by The South Florida Business Journal as one of the top 25 commercial contractors in the market.

This all lead to the ultimate acquisition of GSD, now known as Franjo Builders.

A major contributor to the development of South Florida, Franjo Builders offers general contracting services in all commercial markets. Franjo Builders' decades of expertise allow us to guide clients through the planning and construction of ground‑up, renovation, and restoration projects.

Safety, Respect, Accountability, Efficiency, Empowerment, Creativity, Loyalty... We feel strongly about every one of those, but we also feel they are the minimum every company should abide by. So, what makes us different? How do Franjo team members operate? Well, we speak to each other with radical candor. We work hard so we can play hard. We have each other's backs.

We are committed to building a legacy - the Franjo Legacy.
