LEADERS IN QUALITY CONSTRUCTION AND INFRASTRUCTURE

ABOUT US

DFI, a long-time builder in the east central Florida region with custom timber bridges nationwide, offers its customers a team of over seventy five full-time employees to ensure consistent performance and sensitive customer service. In many communities around the nation, general contractors tend to broker the services and oversee the projects. DFI uses a unique business model that puts it firmly in control of its operations. DFI has a pool of tradesmen who are employed by the company, allowing DFI to limit subcontracting and save on middleman markup. The company also owns, maintains and operates millions of dollars worth of construction equipment from cranes to welding units.

MISSION

DFI's mission is to provide quality construction, technical and management services. We strive to implement a long-term relationship with our clients based on safety, quality, timely service and an anticipation of our clients' needs.

Ownership of the equipment is costly, but our philosophy is based on the relentless pursuit of customer satisfaction, and investment at this level ensures the best product for the customer.
