About Us

Founding Group Builders Incorporated

When the company was sold in 1979, Lito decided to take on a different challenge. With initial capital from Charlie Cook, then Executive Secretary for the Contractors License Board, he was encouraged to get his own contractor license and start his own business. Along with Charlie, Lito was joined by five foremen from his former employer to build their first project, the Chandelier Condominium in Salt Lake, a seventeen-story building completed in just ten months.
