A veteran-owned, woman-owned, and minority-owned Fort Lauderdale general contractor built around execution — self-performing key trades and holding the schedule from permit to punch list across Florida.
KNU Construction is a licensed Florida general contractor, roofing contractor, and plumbing contractor based in Fort Lauderdale, serving commercial, residential, and multifamily projects across the entire state.
Most projects stall in the gaps between trades — the hand-offs where scope gets lost, schedules slip, and no one owns the outcome. KNU Construction is structured to close those gaps. Because we are a licensed general contractor and a licensed roofing and plumbing contractor, we self-perform the trades that most often drive schedule and quality, then directly manage everything else.
We self-perform roofing and plumbing, deliver general contracting and commercial drywall and interior buildouts in-house, and coordinate a vetted subcontractor network for the remaining scopes. The result is a single chain of accountability from the first site walk to the final walkthrough — one contractor responsible for the permit, the budget, the build, and the close-out. As a Broward County general contractor serving all of Florida, that discipline is what we are built to deliver, whether the job is a single tenant improvement or a ground-up multifamily project.
KNU Construction is led by a military veteran license holder and an attorney-managed operations team. We are proud to be a veteran-owned, woman-owned, and minority-owned construction company serving clients across Florida.
Our ownership profile makes KNU a strong partner for developers, institutions, and public agencies with supplier-diversity and small-business participation goals — and a contractor that brings veteran discipline and legal precision to every project, regardless of the client. Diversity certifications are available to support qualified opportunities upon request.
The people accountable for your project — from the license that anchors our work to the project manager on your site.
A military veteran and the qualifying license holder behind KNU Construction, Tammy anchors the state certifications that make our general contracting, roofing, and plumbing work possible. Her service background sets the tone for how KNU operates — disciplined, accountable, and mission-first on every job.
A licensed attorney and owner of Equifirst Properties, Richard has completed hundreds of renovations and fix-and-flip projects and managed larger commercial builds. As managing member he leads KNU's finance, operations, and contracts — bringing legal precision and real-estate investment experience to budgets, risk, and execution.
Lisette is KNU's boots on the ground, overseeing residential projects from site mobilization through final walkthrough. She keeps crews, schedules, inspections, and homeowners aligned so every residential build stays on track, on standard, and on time.

As a South Florida construction company, KNU keeps the trades that matter most under our own license. Roofing, plumbing, general contracting, and commercial drywall and interior buildouts are delivered in-house, so quality and scheduling stay under our control. For every other scope, we manage a vetted network of subcontractors against the same standards we hold ourselves to.
No theatrics, no vague promises — just a repeatable way of working that protects your scope, your schedule, and your budget.
We measure ourselves on work completed, not promises made. The plan exists to get the job built right and handed over.
Clear, itemized estimates with a defined scope of work — no vague line items and no surprise change orders.
We coordinate permits, drawings, and inspections with local jurisdictions so the build starts clean and stays compliant.
Milestones are tracked and protected. You know what comes next and when — and we hold ourselves to it.
Ongoing quality checks during construction keep workmanship and code compliance to standard, not to the deadline.
We walk the finished project with you, complete the punch list, and close out cleanly — done means done.
KNU Construction is a state-certified Florida general contractor, roofing contractor, and plumbing contractor — fully insured, Fort Lauderdale based, serving all of Florida. Holding all three certifications under one roof is what lets us self-perform key trades and stand behind the entire project, not just a slice of it.
