Rick McMinn
Company Owner / Project Executive
Rick McMinn is a seasoned 3rd generation builder with over 20 years of experience in the construction industry. His passion for construction started early in his career when he worked as a Master Electrician, where he honed his skills as a project manager and leader of a team of more than 60 electricians.
With his team's consistent delivery of high-end electrical finish-outs, Rick's clients began entrusting him with the entire construction process from the ground up to the finish-out. This led to a complete transition into the General Construction world, where he has since cultivated relationships almost entirely within the hospitality segment.
Rick has executed diverse builds, ranging from small-scale, eclectic dive bars to large-scale, high-end builds across different industries, including hospitality, industrial, and tenant improvement. He is committed to delivering turn-key projects that meet his client's needs and expectations.

Teddy prioritizes cultivating relationships with managers, clients, and the men and women on the ground who help make his clients' dreams a reality.
For Teddy, General Construction Management is about keeping the entire team motivated and informed, providing regular updates on addenda/submittal revisions and RFI responses, and making those documents available for on-site collaboration through PlanGrid. His fluency in Spanish and extensive experience managing teams in high-end, high-stakes finish-outs, primarily in the TI and medical sectors, make him an invaluable asset to the team.
