Bonita Springs sits between Naples and Fort Myers, and much of the work there is inside buildings that already exist: amenity levels in residential towers, office floors reconfigured for a new tenant, clubhouses built for a different generation of residents. Nello Build works throughout Lee County from the Naples office.
Amenity levels, clubhouses and community buildings
Amenity work has a particular difficulty. The spaces serve everyone in the community, so the brief arrives through a board rather than one client, and the rooms have to suit a wide range of ages and uses. Construction runs around residents who are living in the building the whole time, with rules on hours, elevators and loading. Those rules are a schedule input, not an afterthought, and we build them into the programme at the start.
Open book pricing suits association work especially well. Every board member can see every subcontractor bid and every invoice, which ends the argument about whether the number was fair before it begins.
Tenant fit-outs along US-41
Office, medical and retail fit-outs in Bonita Springs and Estero follow the same discipline as anywhere: read the lease and the landlord criteria before pricing, survey the existing conditions honestly, and set the sequence around landlord approval, permit, long-lead equipment and inspections. Lee County and the City of Bonita Springs have their own review timelines, and a project that assumes Collier County’s schedule will miss its opening.
Houses and additions
Lee County shares Collier’s climate and its hazards: wind-borne debris requirements, flood elevations, summer sun on west elevations, and rainfall that has to be managed on the lot. Hurricane Ian made the stakes plain along this stretch of coast. Building to those conditions properly from the first day, rather than adding protection afterwards, produces a better house and fewer surprises at inspection.
One team, priced in the open
Gino Torriero prices and runs every job himself and sources subcontractors personally. Mali Torriero, AIA, is a registered architect inside the company, so design-led projects run under one roof. The fee is agreed at the start; the construction cost is what it costs, and you see all of it.

Common questions
Do you build in Bonita Springs and Estero?
Yes. Both are within our regular working area from the Naples office, roughly twenty minutes north. Permitting runs through Lee County or the City of Bonita Springs, and the process and review times differ from Collier County.
What kind of Bonita Springs work suits Nello Build?
Amenity levels and clubhouses inside residential towers, tenant fit-outs along the US-41 corridor, new houses and additions, and community buildings for HOAs.
Can you work with a condominium association or HOA board?
Yes. That work involves presenting to boards, building within governing documents, and running construction around residents who are living in the building throughout. Open book pricing suits boards well, because every member can see where the money went.
