About our Client

Four decades of constructing projects and reinforcing relations, DeFaveri still continues to strive and adapt to meet client expectations. From once, just a trusted Masonry subcontractor, DeFaveri has leveraged off of their solid reputation. Impacting, either within the ground or complete to the roof, DeFaveri has passionate and qualified employees, through insight and expertise to expropriate client barriers to create opportunities through their Construction and Management Divisions. Where other contracting companies struggle with corporate branding, DeFaveri has learned, what brands a corporation is through reward and recognition of its employees. The success of its employees is the success of the company, period. Clients return to DeFaveri, for its consistent and effective approach to project delivery, no matter the model of contract or service required.
