Durant A.O. Palomino, president of Construct Build Inc., has been recognized by Marquis Who’s Who Top Business Owners for dedication, achievements, and leadership in construction and project management.
Even as a teenager, Mr. Palomino was dedicated to establishing a career in the construction industry. He started his first job at just 15 years old, working alongside his parents, taking on construction projects in his home country of Jamaica. From there, Mr. Palomino devoted more than 10 years to a construction company that specialized in building high-rises. During this tenure, he rose from the position of project engineer to assistant project manager to project manager. Mr. Palomino also gained experience as an assistant project manager at Cozar Construction Company. He worked with that company for a year.
In 2011, Mr. Palomino culminated his years of growth by establishing his own company, Construct Build Inc., where he has served as president since. Utilizing decades of expertise in the industry, Construct Build Inc. offers comprehensive project management services to clients. Among other notable clients, Mr. Palomino has collaborated heavily with the Community Development Corporation, assisting with an initiative to develop multifamily housing across multiple communities in Miami. This partnership has also showcased his ability to work within government funding and regulations, as all of Community Development Corporation’s projects are federally funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Mr. Palomino’s significant contributions to this endeavor were recognized when an award given to the organization was dedicated in his name.
Mr. Palomino’s performance in the field was born of his academic journey. He obtained a Bachelor of Science in civil engineering from Howard University in 1997. Subsequently, Mr. Palomino earned a Master of Business Administration in management and operations from Nova Southeastern University in 2005. After that, he pursued continued growth, completing certification in the state of Florida as a lead renovator and a general contractor. Mr. Palomino has been certified in community business enterprise, small business enterprise, minority business enterprise and disadvantaged business enterprise through the Broward County Office of Economic and Small Business Development. He has also finished training in 30-hour occupational safety and health via the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Though his professional life has been filled with many memorable moments, Mr. Palomino is especially proud of his work on two high-profile projects simultaneously with one of Construct Build Inc.’s clients. These dual projects were complex, and he played a key role in streamlining the flow of information to ensure that every team member and stakeholder was kept informed. This scenario offered a great example of Mr. Palomino’s skill at collaborating with engineers, architects and other consultants, showcasing a well-rounded understanding of every element of a construction project. Despite the challenges posed by tackling multiple complicated projects at the same time, he was able to lead both to successful completion while making sure they adhered to the guidelines and expectations of the company.
In addition to his professional accomplishments, Mr. Palomino is a loving husband and father to two children. His favorite hobbies include jogging and attending his son’s soccer practice sessions. With nearly 15 years of esteemed business experience behind him, Mr. Palomino remains committed to growing Construct Build Inc. for the foreseeable future. In particular, he hopes to take on commercial projects that are larger in scale by partnering with bigger contractors and improving the technology used by the company.
