Carmen is a very dynamic and charismatic individual. We need more entrepreneurs in Cleveland like him. He cares about his community and shows this by volunteering and being involved with many charitable causes.

In my years of experience in dealing with owners/managers in the Construction industry, Carmen, by far, has the best combination of business-savvy intellect, compassion for his employees and true integrity that shines through in his dealings with his clients, his competitors and his business associates. His honesty is uncommon, and his combination of architectural background and construction experience make Carmen and his firm, Fiorilli Construction, the ideal choice for commercial construction. You and your corporation will win on all levels by contracting with Carmen.

I’ve known Carmen Fiorilli for about 20 years and have always found him to be professional, diligent and of the highest integrity.

ABC Development has used Fiorilli Construction on all our projects, not just because of the long professional relationship with Carmen, but because of the experienced staff, attention to detail and follow up. Our projects are typically single or two tenant retail buildings either ground up or renovations. Budget ranges from $350,000 to about $1,300,000.

We have found it beneficial to involve them as early as possible and have had great success in holding budget and schedule. So far all projects have been completed either on time or ahead of schedule and always within budget. We’ve actually had a $27,000 credit at the completion of the Medina project.

The only change order that added to the contract price was necessitated by a request by the City of North Olmsted for some work in the right-of-way. The price was fair with substantiated backup and completed quickly.

One project that stands above all others is the Sheetz Gas & Convenience Store in Parma, Ohio. Although not the conventional retail project, ABC Development’s responsibility was to deliver a pad ready site. Fiorilli Construction was not the initial contractor. During demolition, unsuitable soils and environmental issues were uncovered. After discussions, the initial contractor was terminated and ABC Development hired Fiorilli Construction to take over the project. The project was completed at about half the cost & time schedule of the original contractor estimate and was completed during winter conditions.

Fiorilli Construction provided GC services for a number of projects designed by Michael Augoustidis Architects. He is a consummate professional that delivered on time and on budget.

Carmen has the ability to juggle many project both large and small projects while meeting deadlines and still was always able to keep the schedule as a priority even when construction issues need to be resolved. Having Carmen and Fiorilli Construction provide construction services is an asset to any project large or small.

Carmen provides a real role model in our community as an entrepreneur who is bringing jobs to this area, as an active civic leader, and as a person with outstanding values that effects many young business people.

I believe Carmen to be a man of great character and integrity. I would not hesitate in recommending him and his company to others.

I was introduced to Carmen Fiorilli in 2004 during the first year that our company, Dimit Architects, was in business. I was thoroughly impressed with his knowledge of the construction industry and with the quality of construction and craftsmanship that is evident in all of Fiorilli Construction’s completed projects. We have teamed on numerous projects and proposals since that time, and have always appreciated the professionalism and attention to detail exhibited by Carmen and the Fiorilli Team. Fiorilli’s pre-construction planning and budgeting efforts are especially notable and his team has anticipated and made allowances for unforeseen construction contingencies for us on more than one occasion. That said, Carmen is just one heck of a nice guy, and we just like working with him. We can’t recommend him more strongly.

I have known Carmen for over seven years and I would recommend his Construction Company. They have high quality standards and are able to get the work done efficiently. Urban Living Contractors looks forward to working with Fiorilli Construction as an MBE subcontractor.

Carmen and the Fiorilli Team: Thank you for a job well done on completing the Binford Branch. This was not an easy one with the delayed start and the shop permit issue, but your team pulled it together. We look forward to many more successful projects with your firm!
