What It Really Takes to Build in South Florida | George Abadie
George Abadie · Seacoast Construction
What happens before construction begins—and why do communication and trust matter so much in South Florida?
About This Conversation
In this episode of City Built Sessions, host Irvans Augustin sits down with George Abadie, Founder and President of Seacoast Construction, to talk about the decisions, relationships, planning, and problem-solving behind successful construction projects.
Joined by co-host Brianna Brown of Florida Biz Collective, George traces his path from studying architecture and working in the field to building and leading a construction company. He explains why many construction problems begin as communication problems, how pre-construction can prevent expensive changes, and why trust between clients, designers, contractors, subcontractors, and municipalities is essential—especially in South Florida.
