What if construction could be faster, stronger, and more resilient, built to withstand both hurricanes and market challenges?

In this episode of Builder Buzz by Home Nation, host Quinton Comino sits down with Anthony Pavek, Global Developer, Entrepreneur, and Founder of Jehovah Builders, the contracting company reimagining how homes and commercial buildings are designed and delivered. Licensed in multiple U.S. states and expanding into the Bahamas, Colombia, and South America, Jehovah Builders blends engineering, project management, and manufacturing into one integrated system.

Anthony shares how losing everything in a hurricane reshaped his vision for construction, fueling a focus on hurricane-resistant, elevated homes designed with cold-formed steel and prefabricated components. By containerizing entire builds from trusses to paint, Jehovah Builders has cut project timelines in half and reduced costs by up to 15%.

From overcoming Florida’s labor shortages with cross-border teams to scaling internationally in markets with fewer regulatory hurdles, Anthony reveals how Jehovah Builders is modernizing an industry plagued by inefficiency. Looking ahead, he discusses the company’s bold plan to go public—leveraging his past IPO experience to drive global expansion.

This conversation dives into innovation, resilience, and leadership in construction, showing how Jehovah Builders is building not just structures, but a smarter future for the industry.
