D&D Construction Services of Orlando was able to break another construction record with the February completion of the Four Points Sheraton Sebring, Chateau Elan, next to the Sebring International Raceway in Sebring, Fla.

The company signed on in August 2007 to build the $6 million, 37,000-square-foot expansion which includes a 4,000-square-foot ballroom and 42 new guest rooms and suites. D&D topped out four stories in just 60 days and completed the entire project within six months, in plenty of time for the March 15 running of the 56th annual Mobile 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, the opening race of the prestigious American Le Mans Series. Typical construction time for a project of this size is rarely less than 10 to 12 months.

“We were astounded and amazed at D&D’s ability to beautifully complete this expansion in such a short time.” said Jim Papovich, Owner’s Representative, Ridgewood Hotels. Corporate executives for Sheraton were equally impressed. “In an industry where cost and timeline overruns are standard operating proceedure, D&D has raised the bar in terms of work ethic,” said Jose Almanzar, Director, Project Management, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. “We will definitely recommend D&D to our developer and hotelier partners.”
