Southern Structural is a specialty concrete contractor in Central Florida, built from day one to take on the work most contractors won’t touch. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in Central Florida, we’ve moved fast — landing contracts with FDOT, the Florida Turnpike Authority, and some of the region’s most respected general contractors in our first two years.
We’re not a generality contractor who does concrete on the side. Every pour we make is specialty work — headwalls, box culverts, retaining walls, sound walls, and complex structures that require precision forming, tight coordination with active sites, and zero margin for error.
Our team brings decades of combined field experience to every job. We design it, form it, pour it, and stand behind it.
Trent Schaelling founded Southern Structural in Central Florida to take on the specialty concrete work others won’t bid — and execute it better than anyone expects.
The 417 Corridor sound wall project — 5,000 LF, 600,000 lbs of steel, 3,500 yards of concrete — put Southern Structural on the map for FDOT-scale infrastructure. Contracts exceeded $1M.
A quad box culvert delivered in 13 days. Infrastructure at SpaceX. A crocodile enclosure at Animal Kingdom. Southern Structural became the contractor GCs call when the job cannot go wrong.
Active contracts across Central Florida. Repeat GC partners. The same standards — speed, precision, accountability — on the region’s most complex infrastructure.
