RTG Construction, led by Jeff Wooster, is an innovator in conceptualizing and developing unique, well built homes for clients providing affordable housing within existing communities.
The company was organized under a business plan targeted to developing in fill lots in existing Palm Beach County neighborhoods with affordable homes designed in a distinct style that enhances the community and provides a quality of construction not usually offered in this category.
The company successfully executed this business plan while building speculatively and for private clients before being engaged by non-profit organizations that desired to interpret the concept in their workforce housing initiatives.
Since 2005 RTG Construction Inc. has earned a reputation as one of the premier developers and builders of affordable single family housing in South Palm Beach County. The company completed thirty-eight homes using this concept in Palm Beach County in the previous year.
The distinctive designs, quality of construction and efficiency of operations has been recognized for excellence by organizations such as the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency, the Delray Beach Community Land Trust, Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency, and and Boynton Beach Faith Based Community Development Corp.
RTG Construction Inc. is an approved LISC contractor and is 50% minority owned.
RTG works closely with select architects to interpret the features of the Key West style into a home that can be constructed efficiently and with the highest quality at a price point that makes it affordable for non-profit housing initiative programs and for private clients building for sale to a similar market.
Typical standards include:
• Old Key West styled exteriors with front porches, wide overhangs, stucco finish and tropical color schemes.
• Open interiors with spacious family living areas, tiled floors and ceiling fans.
• Open family kitchens with breakfast bars, open dining, high quality fixtures and appliances.
• Metal roofs and impact resistant windows for enhanced protection of the property in hurricanes and high wind.
RTG works with an experienced team of skilled sub-contractors and proven vendors to complete each home within a rapid time line and within budget. The typical home is completed within twelve weeks of permitting and approval of funding. That means that pre-qualified buyers can move into their new homes within weeks, not months.
