Our Story

Built one home at a time, for more than thirty years.

Rousseau Construction was founded by Joe Rousseau, a licensed general contractor who has spent his career building luxury residential homes across South Florida. Three decades in, the firm's reputation has been built the way our homes are — slowly, deliberately, and one project at a time.

Today, Joe is joined by his son Jojo, who spent more than a decade on the institutional side of real estate, underwriting and executing over $3 billion of multifamily, condominium, industrial, and ground-up residential development. Together, they bring the craftsmanship of a master builder and the discipline of an institutional operator under one roof.

We remain family-owned and family-run. Every project carries our name, and we treat it that way.

Millimeter Precision

Architectural drafting in three dimensions.

We draft, resolve, and perfect spatial parameters down to the millimeter before ever pouring concrete.

Our virtual prototyping workflows allow capital partners, architects, and private homeowners to walk through, feel, and inspect the structural framework of a Rousseau custom build. This eliminates execution blindspots, protects architectural intent, and prevents budget creep.
