Why Is This Miami Builder Projecting A South Florida Construction Boom In 2021?

In Episode 75, expert Peter Zalewski of Condo Vultures interviews Oscar Morejon - founder and president of John Bell Construction - about the state of the South Florida construction industry during the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing U.S. recession. Morejon also provides crucial tips for customers who are looking to hire contractors for construction projects in South Florida.   In Segment 1, Morejon discusses growing up in Miami, starting his own business in high school and attending Florida International University to concentrate on construction management. During college, Morejon rose up from an internship to become an assistant superintendent with the general contractor Suffolk Construction, which built the Met 3 complex in Greater Downtown Miami. After that project, Morejon launched John Bell Construction. In Segment 2, Morejon talks about the impetus to establish a construction company in response to a steady stream of inquiries from potential customers looking for a general contractor to complete residential building projects. Morejon also discusses the process for doing construction in South Florida and provides an overview about the time and cost that a construction entails.    In Segment 3, Morejon compares and contrasts his pipeline of business before and after the COVID-19 pandemic began, and provides a projection about what the year 2021 could entail for construction in South Florida.  To send a comment, please email the podcast at [email protected]     Please be sure to patronize our advertising supporters: Condo Vultures® Realty, Condo Vultures® Condo Correction Tours, and CVR Realty.  Click here to subscribe to the Condo Vultures® Distressed Market Intelligent Report.
