About Gaard Construction

A Word From the Founder

Ethan Kirkegaard

At Gaard Construction, we’re not telling the usual contractor story—because we’re not building for the usual clientele.

​

Founded by Ethan Kirkegaard, Gaard was created to serve Florida’s most discerning homeowners and developers with a new standard of precision, discretion, and excellence. To deliver on that promise, Ethan partnered with globally respected industry experts whose experience spans elite projects in Seattle, Miami, Monaco, Geneva, and beyond.

​

This collaboration brings together world-class craftsmanship, international perspective, and an uncompromising approach to detail. From ultra-luxury estates to legacy commercial properties, Gaard Construction manages every project with a commitment to timeless design, flawless execution, and white-glove service at every step.

​

This isn’t the standard story. Because we don’t deliver standard results.
