FINFROCK Marks 80 Years of Innovation

FINFROCK, one of Central Florida’s most influential and pioneering design-build firms, is commemorating its 80th anniversary—an eight-decade journey that spans from its humble beginnings as a concrete tile manufacturer to its current position as a nationally recognized leader in integrated construction delivery.

Founded in 1945, the company has evolved into a fully verticalized design-build enterprise, bringing architecture, engineering, precast manufacturing, and construction together under a single operational umbrella. This approach has allowed FINFROCK to streamline project delivery, minimize delays, and offer one of the region’s most efficient and predictable building systems.

The firm’s now-famous construction methodology—often likened to “Lego® for the commercial construction world”—has reshaped the way large-scale structures are conceived and built, enabling complex projects to be manufactured with precision and assembled rapidly in the field.

80 Years of Growth and Regional Impact

As Central Florida has expanded, FINFROCK has expanded alongside it. What began as a family-run concrete producer gradually diversified into structural systems, parking solutions, and full-service commercial design-build. The company became particularly known for its parking structure expertise, earning a reputation across the Southeast for reliability and innovation in precast solutions.

From that foundation, FINFROCK moved into major sectors shaping Florida’s economy today:

• Multifamily housing
• Hospitality and resort development
• Mixed-use communities
• Student and workforce housing
• Large-scale commercial and entertainment facilities

Its headquarters and growing precast manufacturing campus near Apopka and Lockhart are now among the state’s largest design-build operations, continually expanding to support both production demand and workforce training.

Landmark Projects Across Central Florida

FINFROCK’s footprint is visible across nearly every major development corridor in greater Orlando. Its project portfolio includes:

• Lake House Orlando, a high-end multifamily destination
• City Center at O-Town West, a major commercial and lifestyle hub
• Universal Orlando’s Stella Nova and Terra Luna Resorts, part of the area’s booming hospitality sector
• Numerous structured parking developments that serve hospitals, theme parks, universities, hotels, and mixed-use districts

The company’s proprietary DualDeck® Building System has become a hallmark of its practice, reducing construction time and improving cost controls through precision-engineered components manufactured in-house.

A New Era: InterContinental Orlando

FINFROCK’s next major milestone is already underway: the InterContinental Orlando, a flagship luxury hotel by Unicorp National Developments, Inc. Using the company’s signature Design–Manufacture–Construct® delivery model, the project will bring a new level of architectural sophistication to International Drive.

Once completed, the InterContinental will stand as one of the most visible demonstrations of FINFROCK’s capabilities—merging precast innovation with high-end hospitality design.

Commitment to Innovation, Workforce Growth and the Region’s Future

As the company celebrates 80 years, FINFROCK remains focused on expanding both project capabilities and workforce pathways. Its growing campus continues to generate local employment opportunities, skilled trade pathways, and advanced manufacturing roles—further strengthening the region’s construction workforce pipeline.

Leadership credits the firm’s longevity to strong client partnerships, a culture of innovation, and a commitment to delivering projects that elevate Central Florida’s built environment. As the company enters its ninth decade, its focus remains firmly on future growth, sustainability-driven design, and next-generation construction technologies.

• FINFROCK’s integrated model reduces the number of subcontractors a project requires, improving quality control and minimizing risk during volatile economic cycles.
• The firm’s vertically aligned structure allows it to adapt quickly to material cost fluctuations and supply chain challenges.
• By controlling design, manufacturing, and construction, FINFROCK offers developers a single source of accountability—an increasingly valuable approach during periods of market uncertainty.
• The company is also investing in automation, logistics optimization, and digitally driven fabrication tools to support faster, safer, and more precise production.
• FINFROCK’s continued expansion near Apopka positions Central Florida as a growing hub for high-tech construction and precast innovation.
