Ep. 10 — What This Boardwalk Actually Cost
Most contractors will never show you this. We're showing you all of it.
Anthony opens the books on the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse boardwalk — more than $728,000 in material and payroll, and we're still not finished. Pilings driven into the ground. Fibergrate FRP decking. Treated dimensional lumber, stringers, joists, and railing. 316 stainless hardware, because anything less doesn't survive out here. Splinter-free Owens Corning handrail. And every certified payroll week our crew put in on that site.
Here's what that number doesn't include: barges, excavators, cranes, trucks, trailers, bits, blades, insurance, bonding, permitting, warranty. Every machine and every mile it takes to run a company that can build on federal ground. That's the difference nobody explains — cost is what we spend, price is what it takes to build it right, stand behind it, and still be here when you call in ten years.
And every dollar of it stayed home. Pilings, dimensional lumber, and the Owens Corning handrail came from Southern Pine Lumber in Stuart. All the stainless hardware came from Marsh Fasteners in Jupiter. Our crew works out of Hobe Sound. A federal project built with Treasure Coast material, from Treasure Coast suppliers, by a Treasure Coast crew.
