Our Projects
Antigua Apartments
Location: Antigua
Completed: December 2016
Area: 7500 Sq. ft.
This is a 3-level, 7-apartment building with a penthouse unit located in the attic structure. It was designed to be built on the side of a mountain to maximize the views, and it is situated to overlook the bay on this beautiful island. ABP fabricated the light-gauge steel wall panels, floor joists, metal decking, and roof trusses. Designed to a windspeed of 170 mph.
The structure was fabricated and assembled in Fort Lauderdale and then shipped to the site for installation. ABP also provided supervision for utilizing the local labor force, and the structure was installed over a period of 3 months. In 2017, this building withstood a direct hit from 2 category 5 hurricanes, Irma and Maria, with no structural damage.
Cliff Hanger Residence
Location: St. John's, US Virgin Islands
Completed: Dec. 2014
Area: 1100 Sq. Ft.
This creatively designed project was fabricated off-site and shipped out in containers to be installed on a very remote site on the edge of a cliff, hence the name “Cliffhanger.” ABP supplied the light-gauge wall panels, floor panels, and roof trusses. The structure was installed over a period of 2 weeks. This structure survived a direct hit from Category 5 Hurricane Maria in 2017.
THE VILLAS IN DAMMAM
Location: Dammam, Saudi Arabia
Completed: August 2013
Area: 4800 Sq. Ft.
This 3-level, 4,800 sq. ft. villa was fabricated and shipped in containers to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 2014 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. ABP provided the structure and installation supervision and trained local labor as the structure was erected over a period of 2 weeks.
Due to the unique environment that Saudi Arabia has, ABP had to accommodate the vast Air Conditioning units on the roof and design the duct routes into the structure prior to fabrication. You can see from the pictures that this was achieved during the design process by providing the necessary openings in each room while maintaining the structural integrity of the light-gauge steel. ABP provided the light-gauge steel wall panels, floor trusses, and roof trusses to achieve the required architectural design which fitted seamlessly with the local architecture.
O'Dwyer Residence
Location: Fort Lauderdale
Completed: April 2014
Area: 2,000 Sq. ft.
A two-story in-law quarters in Fort Lauderdale, this structure was installed in 10 days utilizing ABP light gauge steel wall panels, floor trusses and roof trusses. This building survived a tornado that tore through the grounds during Hurricane Irma in 2017. The owners stayed in this structure during the storm and there was no damage to the building at all, while the main house and trees on the property were torn apart. The main house was built by a previous owner and not made of light gauge steel.
Sarasota Residence
Location: Sarasota, FL
Completed: April 2024
Area: 3000 Sq. ft. / 4 Beds, 5 Baths

Bonita Residence
Location: Miami, FL
Completed: December 2016
Area: 3800 Sq. ft. / 4 Beds, 4 Baths

Port Charlotte Residences (2)
Location: Port Charlotte, FL
Completed: February 2023
Area: 3100 Sq. ft. / 3 Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms and 3,278 Sq. ft. / 3 Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms
Two Port Charlotte, Florida Residences were built using ABP light gauge steel wall panels and roof trusses. Contemporary designed sustainable homes, these homes were constructed to withstand a wind speed of 160 mph.
Holy Cross University Dormitories
Location: New Orleans, LA
Completed: August 2018
Area: 60,000 Sq. ft.
These university dormitories are in New Orleans, Louisiana. Our client needed these trusses to be engineered to a height of 16 feet and a length of 68 feet with a 35-foot span. This structure was fabricated “on-site,” utilizing our mobile fabrication units. The building was designed to 165 mph wind speeds.
The individual panels and trusses were assembled as they came off of the roll former, which eliminated the need for additional handling and transport. The roof structure was assembled on the ground and craned into position for final installation, which allowed for much faster and safer construction.
Team Success Charter School
Location: Sarasota, FL
Completed: January 2024
Area: 46,000 Sq. ft.
This Charter School is made entirely of shipping containers and light gauge steel. The project took 18 months to complete and is currently occupied. Future expansion is in design phase. ABP supplied light gauge steel wall roof trusses and interior framing. The building is constructed to withstand a wind speed of 160 mph.
