Government

Biltmore Construction’s rich history in government service begins with our founder Edward A. Parker, Sr. Having served as an aviator in the U.S. Navy during World War II, then in the U.S. Navy Reserve for 22 years where he achieved the rank of Lieutenant Commander, onto serving as Mayor of the Town of Belleair from 1973-1977, Ed Parker, Sr. was actively involved and supportive of government concerns.

“I have had the pleasure of working with Biltmore Construction since 2007. Since that time, they have assisted us with multiple projects, the largest of which totaled over 289,244 GSF – The Miami-Dade Center of Excellence Public Health & Safety Headquarters Complex comprised of four, multi-story facilities within one central campus constructed in multiple, concurrent phases to maintain operations of the State Lab Building and Original Administration Building. I have found Biltmore Construction’s personnel to be highly skilled and professional, timely and budget conscious.

In addition to monitoring animal diseases, the lab also conducts thousands of test each year for public health threats, such as anthrax, Lyme disease, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
