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.
