Mr. Ron Del Bianco II, GCG

Anthony Del Bianco, Grandfather of Ron Del Bianco II, began his apprenticeship in construction as a young man. Anthony, or “Tony” soon became sought after by the larger General Contractors of Chicago. Tony was Lead Superintendent on both the US Gypsum Building and the John Hancock Center in Chicago, Illinois. Over the years Tony’s oldest son, Ron Sr., apprenticed underneath his guidance, learning carpentry, concrete and masonry. Just as Tony Del Bianco required that his son, Ron Sr. master every trade before he managed subcontracting personnel, so too would Ron Sr. require that of his son, Ron Jr.

“Old World

European Craftsmanship”

Ron Sr. was often quoted as saying to his son Ron Jr. “In order for you to become a project manager for the family’s construction company, you must be able to pick up any tool on the jobsite, and show even the most experienced tradesman more efficient and higher quality techniques.” “With this ability son, you will gain respect, loyalty, and the best possible productivity from all the subcontractors and their employees.”

 

 In 1988 Ron Del Bianco II began his apprenticeship under his father, Ron Del Bianco Sr. General Contractor, while building custom homes. Later that year they founded Florida Glass Block, Inc. and operated from Tampa to Miami.  Florida Glass Block operated in Florida for 18 years. In 1997 Ron Del Bianco II, at 25 years of age, was the youngest candidate to pass all sections of the Class “A” General Contractors Exam on the first attempt. Later that year he founded Del Bianco General Construction, Inc. in Naples, Florida. Since that time Ron Del Bianco II has completed numerous commercial facility planned developments, industrial, manufacturing, health care, restaurant, and high end residential projects in both Florida and Texas.

Ron Del Bianco II studied Business and Construction Management at the University of South Florida; and is a Karass Certified Negotiator (which is the golden standard for negotiation tactics and a required skill for most executives of fortune 500 companies).
