In this episode of Best Business Partners, we sit down with Fort Myers native and newly licensed General Contractor, Hunter Stevens of Stevens Construction. From starting out as an assistant and intern, to now leading projects as a Project Manager, Hunter shares his journey of building both a career and a family legacy.

We dive into:

  • Growing up in construction and working alongside his father.
  • The behind-the-scenes of major projects across Florida, including the ribbon-cutting of Fort Myers Beach’s newest beach bar.
  • Rebuilding after Hurricane Ian — from updated permitting processes to elevation codes and the unique challenges of beachfront construction.
  • Hunter’s advice for aspiring GCs and construction managers.
  • And yes… the story behind those famous ribbon-cutting shirts.

It’s an episode filled with insider construction insights, local pride, and a candid look at what it’s like to build the future—one project at a time.
