The roots of Tampa Bay General Contractors trace back to Roberts’ early days working in the luxury neighborhoods of Beverly Hills and Bel Air, building for the likes of Sonny Bono, Marlo Thomas, and Larry Flint. That experience, coupled with his business acumen, helped shape a practical and people-focused methodology. Today, the company brings that high standard to Florida, covering everything from raw land development, commercial buildings, commercial rebuilds, and custom luxury residences. Long before the blueprints are drawn or the first shovel breaks ground, there’s a dream. Whether it’s a cozy waterfront restaurant, a striking commercial complex, or a custom luxury residence to reflect someone’s legacy, every project begins with someone’s vision. And turning that vision into reality hinges on clear, consistent communication, as bringing every stakeholder onto the same page is as essential as the plans themselves. Tampa Bay General Contractors is built around that principle. The company understands that every lasting structure starts with a shared understanding. From the earliest conversations to the final Engineer’s certification, its focus remains on collaboration, craftsmanship and delivering results that reflect each client’s unique goals. This Florida state-certified design-build General Contracting Company offers “start-to-finish solutions” for all levels of new or existing developments, be it new commercial buildings, pre-engineered steel buildings, or custom luxury residences. “We’re able to take raw land and turn it into something that becomes a buildable space. That’s what true development means to us,” says Robert Cairns, owner. “It’s not just putting up a structure but taking someone’s dream and making every piece work together to bring that vision to life.” Tampa Bay General Contractors gets involved long before the land is cleared or the paperwork is filed. When a client brings a vision, the team works to understand the full scope, guiding the process from concept to completion. Whether the land is client-owned or purchased through Tampa Bay General Contractors, the company oversees every stage—from zoning, Civil engineering, Environmental, Wetlands remediation, infrastructure, Structural Engineering, and site development, through completion. In one case, a client purchased waterfront raw land from Tampa Bay General Contractors, with the dream of opening a restaurant and townhomes. The land was untouched, overgrown and sloping toward the water. Tampa Bay General Contractors stepped in, and with careful planning, regulatory approvals and engineered infrastructure, that dream began to take shape. Today, after the required local, state, and Federal approvals, they are poised to commence on the waterfront site work and complete this client’s dream.

Not too long ago, garages were mostly afterthoughts, a utilitarian space to stash away cars and Christmas lights. Fast-forward to today and that dim, dusty square footage has morphed into something much more meaningful. It’s now a workshop, a playroom, a gym, a hangout spot and, for many, a proud extension of the home. With this shift in purpose comes a new demand: the garage must now look the part. For over two decades, Swisstrax has met that need with premier modular flooring solutions for commercial, residential and industrial applications worldwide. Engineered for durability, style and ease of use, the company’s products help homeowners create environments they’re proud of. “It’s not just about the tiles or the maintenance benefits our flooring could provide. It’s about the experience we deliver, helping customers see their garage as a space of pride and purpose, where functionality and personal expression co-exist,” says Josh Nelson, vice president. The company offers a smart, elegant alternative to traditional epoxy coatings—one that holds up against the elements of nature, including rain, heat, hot tires, dirty boots and everything in between. More than that, Swisstrax helps people see the garage not as a neglected corner of the house but as a true part of their living space. Flooring that Fits Every Story Swisstrax’s product portfolio comprises a diverse range of modular flooring systems designed to last a lifetime. Ribtrax Pro, a modular tile built for durability, drainage, and easy upkeep, was the game-changer that put the company on the map. Built to handle everything from snowy salt to high desert heat, its open-profile design and underlying channeling system make cleaning as simple as hosing it down. As customer needs evolved, the Swisstrax lineup progressed in parallel, constantly innovating to stay ahead of the curve. For those spending serious time under the hood or on the floor, Ribtrax Smooth Pro was introduced, delivering the same lowmaintenance performance with a more comfortable, flat surface. The company also offers the Diamondtrax 12 series as a solid surface option. Featuring a classic diamond plate design, it’s a more economical choice for those who prefer a traditional look or are working within a tighter budget.
