At TOTAL, we have developed a complete and centralized system that brings together all the necessary services to build your home—whether for living, selling, or expanding your investment portfolio. From design to construction, our approach optimizes every stage of the process, saving time, money, and reducing stress while ensuring superior quality and proven results.
Our founder, David Rodriguez, an architect and builder with over 20 years of experience, spent more than seven years working in Florida’s state building departments, reaching the highest technical position of Deputy Building Official. His deep knowledge of regulations and permitting processes allows us to implement advanced technical strategies to obtain approvals quickly and efficiently.
Meanwhile, engineer Maribel Aumaitre, the company’s strategic growth leader, has perfected project management processes. As Chief Project Manager, she has achieved property construction in less than four months and an average sales time of just two days.
At TOTAL, we combine technical expertise, optimized processes, and an integrated approach to maximize the value of your real estate investment, delivering fast and sustainable results.
TOTAL Cost Plus
At TOTAL, we take care of every detail—from design and planning to construction management. Our comprehensive approach ensures efficiency and quality from start to finish.
With Cost Plus, you only pay for actual labor and materials, plus a fixed management fee. No hidden costs, no inflated margins. No additional charges or overpricing. Thanks to our large-scale negotiation power, we guarantee competitive and transparent pricing so you always know exactly where your investment is going.
At TOTAL, we don’t require full payment upfront. We work with an initial deposit of 15% to kickstart your project (applies only to standard homes). This deposit is replenished based on biweekly or monthly expense reports, adapting to your cash flow. This way, you keep your capital available until you truly need it, giving you financial flexibility without compromising project progress.
Under the leadership of engineer Maribel Aumaitre, we have developed an optimized planning system that achieves an average construction time of just 180 calendar days. Our real-time project management software (Monday™) offers total transparency, allowing you to monitor every phase of your construction online from anywhere in the world, ensuring deadlines are met.
If we don’t deliver your home within 180 days from the construction permit issuance, and you have followed the agreed payment schedule without external delays beyond our control, we will waive our administrative percentage for any expenses incurred after that date. Your investment is secure—no excuses, just guaranteed results.
At TOTAL, we create properties that maximize profit margins from day one, building at least 15% below the market price of pre-built homes, ensuring your investment is profitable from the start. Buying at market price can lead to negative returns. We make the difference: proven profitability or nothing. (Not applicable for custom projects.)
TOTAL doesn’t just build properties—we build solid, transparent investment opportunities. If you’re looking for measurable results, financial flexibility, and unmatched quality, choose TOTAL. Your success is built into our foundation.
Comprehensive management to save time and money.
Advanced strategies for fast and efficient approvals.
Trust, quality and commitment in each project.
Comparing TOTAL to a traditional general contractor is like comparing a fully built house to just a door. And if you compare us to unlicensed companies, it’s like comparing an airplane to a lawnmower.
While general contractors rely on multiple external professionals—engineers, architects, surveyors, environmental specialists, plumbers, electricians, mechanics, roofers, and pool contractors (who often take up to 6 months to respond)—TOTAL brings everything under one roof. We integrate every stage of the design, permitting, and construction process to maximize efficiency and minimize costs and delays.
Our founder, David Rodriguez, has dedicated over 20 years to mastering the construction industry, including more than a decade in Florida, where he identified critical issues in responsibility delegation and permit processing. To solve these challenges, he obtained not only a General Contractor license but also additional certifications, including:
Additionally, as an architect, David can make real-time modifications and adjustments to plans with maximum efficiency, eliminating unnecessary delays. His comprehensive approach is strengthened by the expertise of engineer Maribel Aumaitre, ensuring that every aspect of the project is backed by more than 10 state-certified licenses in Florida—guaranteeing regulatory compliance, technical precision, and superior quality.
TOTAL has established exclusive partnerships with Lynx Surveyors & Engineering, allowing us to provide topographic and environmental studies in record time—a key advantage over the competition. Additionally, our trusted financial partners offer tailored financing options to help fund your projects with TOTAL’s quality guarantee.
At TOTAL, we optimize every dollar invested. While general contractors add markups on materials and subcontractors, our focus is on maximizing your return on investment. Our team is constantly searching for innovative solutions, high-performance materials, and cost-effective labor, securing savings without compromising quality.
Large-Scale Strategic Negotiations
Our bulk purchasing power ensures that we secure the best market prices for our clients. We leverage our strong supplier network and industry relationships to provide top-quality materials and services at highly competitive costs.
Strict On-Site Quality Control
Ricardo Paredes, a specialized engineer with years of construction experience, leads each project as Chief Construction Manager, ensuring daily oversight of every development. Additionally, our supervisors conduct detailed inspections at every stage, ensuring that every dollar spent translates into real value while preventing unnecessary cost overruns.
TOTAL doesn’t just build homes—we build trust, efficiency, and measurable results. If you’re looking for transparent management, real savings, and exceptional quality, TOTAL is your best partner for turning projects into profitable investments.
Working with a traditional general contractor often means relying on their word regarding bids and costs. At TOTAL, transparency isn’t just a value—it’s a guarantee. Our structured processes and advanced systems ensure you have full access to every purchase order we issue and pay, giving you a clear and detailed view of every transaction.
Full Access to All Financial Details

Immersive Design & Total Customization
Thanks to the expertise of Yender Pirela, our lead architect, you’ll be able to fully visualize your future home in immersive detail, allowing you to experience every design element before construction even begins. Additionally, architect Ana Parada, with her deep understanding of costs and market trends, will curate the best materials—ensuring availability, budget alignment, and market appeal.
