Carlton Construction Attends NEFBA’s 2012 Gala

Matt and his wife, Jacqueline, recently attended the 2012 NEFBA Gala benefitting the Builders Care program. The Carlton’s decked out in their best John Travolta and Olivia Newton John attire, as the Gala’s theme was “Greased Lightning.” This year’s Gala raised more than $40,000 to help fund Builders Care and the much-needed services they provide for vulnerable members of our community.

Builders Care is the charitable arm of the Northeast Florida Builders Association (NEFBA) and represents many of the great builders and trade partners in the Northeast Florida area. Their mission is to provide much needed construction services for senior, disabled and low-income individuals in Northeast Florida. For many, Builders Care is their last hope to maintain quality of life at home.

Matt and his team at Carlton are passionate about this cause and have supported the program for more than 6 years.

As a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, Builders Care accepts monetary donations, volunteer labor and donated building materials, weaving them together to provide low to no cost construction for the most fragile compelling cases in the Northeast Florida community.

Carlton Construction and Southern Living Magazine

Everyone here at Carlton Construction is proud to be – once again – the only North Florida builder selected by Southern Living magazine for their “Custom Builder” program. As described by Southern Living, their program is “a network of more than 100 of the South’s top custom home builders brought together by our magazine.”

What does that mean? And how does it pertain to our current clients and those considering Carlton to be their custom home builder?

Well, for this invitation-only program, Southern Living goes on to say that the magazine “selects custom builders acclaimed for their detailed craftsmanship, excellence in customer service, financial stability, and use of quality building materials in their homes.” Southern Living checks homeowner and business references, to ensure “a builder that will deliver a quality custom home, and the customer service you expect.”

So, some of our current clients get to tell a major national publication how we’re doing. And, those who are considering us know we’ve been evaluated against some pretty high standards, and have come out on top.

A lot of builders throw around words like “quality,” “service” and “craftsmanship.” You’ll find those words here on our website. The difference is we truly live those words, and, for us, the Southern Living magazine Custom Builder selection is yet another validation that we’re committed to exceeding your expectations.

Introducing Clint Thomas

I’m pleased to announce the newest member of the Carlton Construction family – Clint Thomas, vice president, commercial projects. Clint comes to us from Edwards Construction Services in Central Florida, where he served as senior manager for large-scale commercial construction management projects such as the Nocatee Aquatics Center and Community Park, the VillageWalk at Lake Nona, and the Southern Hills Plantation. All in all, Clint has more than 16 years of solid, dedicated experience in commercial construction, with a portfolio to match

I first met Clint at the University of Florida, where we were at the M.E. Rinker School of Building Construction. We were both older students – having gone back to school to get our degrees after working in the construction industry for some time. We naturally gravitated toward each other, having more in common than with the “normal” undergraduates. We’ve remained close friends since, and when Carlton Construction looked to expand its commercial services, Clint was the perfect fit for the job. He’s now ramping up Carlton’s commercial side as he settles into his new home in Green Cove Springs with his wife and daughter.

Clint brings to Carlton Construction the same values we already take to heart – attention to detail, a comprehensive process, completing projects on schedule and on budget, and a dedication to complete client satisfaction.

If you’d like to reach Clint, please call (904) 284-8321, email him at clint@carltonconstruction.net, or use the Contact Us page on this site.
