Our Story
Four decades of construction excellence in South Florida
Founded August 1984
Built on a Foundation of Excellence
FMA Construction, Inc. is a general contractor specializing in drywall, acoustical ceilings, stucco/Cement Plaster system, and EIFS trades. Our family owned and operated company located in Fort Lauderdale has been servicing the Tri-County area since August 1984.
In the beginning, our main focus was on construction of Tenant Improvements and Condominium buildings throughout South Florida Market. These early projects established our reputation for quality craftsmanship and reliable delivery — the foundation upon which everything that followed was built.
A Greater Challenge
After ten years, President and Founder Felipe Echarte was seeking a greater challenge and a more creative sector — Healthcare Construction. This pivot would define FMA's identity for decades to come.
Premier Healthcare Construction
Over the past 30 years, FMA has evolved into a premier healthcare construction company completing numerous healthcare projects for HCA, Baptist Health South Florida, Catholic Health Systems, Memorial Healthcare and The University of Miami Healthcare, just to name a few.
Trusted by South Florida's Leading Healthcare Systems
Beyond Healthcare
While specializing in healthcare construction for drywall, acoustical ceilings, stucco and EIFS, FMA has completed commercial projects in a wide range of sectors.
