DEP Consulting

DEP Consulting consulting services are available to all of our customers or these services can be provided separate from our design and construction services. Our consulting services provide our customers with expert advice and guidance on their construction projects, from permitting and zoning to design and construction.

Design Services

Over the years, we have developed close relationships with several local Architects who share our commitment to superior service and quality of product for the best value. We can work with your preferred architect or negotiate with one of our pre-qualified Architects. We have partnered with Allison Kaffka, an architect who specializes in a coastal style that melds historical details from Florida, the Caribbean, and Hawaii. This partnership provides our customers with high-quality architecturally designed drawings while utilizing the efficiencies of our construction and engineering background to reduce overall design time and design costs. Allison's family is a 4th generation business owner in Manatee/Sarasota Counties. Her education in architecture and visualization from the Rhode Island School of Design and the Savannah College of Art & Design has equipped her with the skills and knowledge to deliver exceptional designs.

Testimonials

Joe & Mary:

"Building a home from a distance can be very scary, however, with Larry at the helm, we always felt we were in good hands. There was a stream of new pictures and constant communication via phone and emails that we felt we were there every step of the way. The finished product is more beautiful and exceeded our expectations. Every time we visit we have to pinch ourselves and say, 'we can't believe this is our home.'"

Charles & Lynne:

"Being apprehensive about doing another building project, we knew that finding the right contractor would be critical. In our search, without exception, the comments concerning Whitehead Construction were very positive. Now we know why! After meeting with Brent and Allison, we were confident that we should go ahead with our project. The house turned out even better than we had imagined and we are excited to start really living in our new home."
