EliteProNet, a national network of commercial Subcontractors, moves its corporate headquarters to a new location in West Palm Beach to accommodate its expansive local and national growth.

West Palm Beach, FL, November 05, 2013 – EliteProNet, a national network of commercial Subcontractors, is pleased to relocate its corporate headquarters to The Forum Building in West Palm Beach. Comprising a workspace of 4,500 square feet, the company will occupy its new corporate office later this month.

“As a growing company, we required a work space that could adapt to our rapidly expanding team,” said Dean Cameron, Vice President of EliteProNet. “The Forum provided us with a site that will suite us both now and in the future. Additionally, the leasing agent, Gabriela Seabolt at The Forum, was a pleasure to work with and accommodated us according to the unique needs that a company with this degree of growth faces.”

EliteProNet provides a better way for Subcontractors and General Contractors to connect. Since its founding by Kevin Priddy and Dean Cameron in 2008, the company has assisted Subcontractors in generating awarded projects in the amount of $91 million. With more than 5,000 registered General Contractors and 21,000 Subcontractors in the network, EliteProNet has extended its reach into 11 states and continues to expand its services throughout regional territories nationwide.

“Due to our rapid growth and demand within the industry, we plan to hire approximately 20 more employees, in addition to offering partnership opportunities in various regional territories,” said Kevin Priddy, President of EliteProNet. “We are on target to reach $100 million in awarded construction projects this month. The Forum is without question the right choice for our company’s headquarters.”

Moving to The Forum was a strategic move for the company; the unique space allows for customization of a first-rate office suite that is both innovative and specifically tailored to the company’s unprecedented growth.

Centrally located at the heart of the burgeoning Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard – the epicenter of West Palm Beach – The Forum offers tenants quick and easy access to the area’s vast amenities, including the courthouse, CityPlace, the planned Palm Beach Outlets, and a variety of hotels, restaurants, shops and cafes.

Leave a comment

“Our energy makeover teams are helping make the lowest electric bill in the state even lower by sharing tips from FPL’s energy efficiency programs and implementing easy, low-cost improvements that can save customers even more money,” said FPL’s External Affairs Director Don Kiselewski.

Juno Beach, FL, February 15, 2012 — In partnership with the City of West Palm Beach, Florida Power & Light Company recently gave 50 families in the Poinciana and Vedado Park neighborhoods a special Valentine’s Day present. The families received free Home Energy Makeovers, where FPL experts installed energy-efficient upgrades to help residents save money and lessen their impact on the environment by reducing energy consumption. FPL’s Home Energy Makeovers also marked the kick-off for the City’s Fourth Annual e4 Sustainability Summit, a two week-long initiative designed to help residents learn how to incorporate green practices into their daily lives.

Approximately 60 energy experts from FPL and city employee volunteers traveled through neighborhoods to deliver the energy efficiency upgrades, which are expected to save these FPL customers, many of whom are senior citizens living on fixed incomes, as much as 25 percent on their utility bills.

Since 2006, FPL has installed extensive energy efficiency upgrades in 700 homes through the company’s Home Energy Makeover program. The program cumulatively is saving the participants an estimated $140,000 combined each year.

“FPL is proud to continue our partnership with the City of West Palm Beach, and help more residents in the area reduce their energy use and save on their monthly expenses,” said FPL’s External Affairs Director Don Kiselewski. “Our energy makeover teams are helping make the lowest electric bill in the state even lower by sharing tips from FPL’s energy efficiency programs and implementing easy, low-cost improvements that can save customers even more money.”

City officials, including City of West Palm Beach Mayor Jeri Muoio and Commissioner William Moss, joined approximately 60 FPL volunteers and helped out with energy-efficient upgrades as part of the Home Energy Makeover team.

“Giving our residents the resources to be more energy-efficient in their daily lives is a big priority for us, and the makeovers are the perfect start to our e4 Sustainability Summit,” Mayor Muoio said. “Our partnership with FPL helps give the residents of West Palm Beach the tools and information they need to save money and make a positive impact on their daily lives.”

A total of 12 Home Energy Makeover teams visited homes of pre-qualified customers for up to two hours each to install upgrades and educate homeowners about ways to reduce their energy usage. Upgrades included:

• Repairing air conditioning ducts
• Checking and installing insulation
• Installing lifetime air conditioning filters
• Installing compact fluorescent lights
• Inserting refrigerator and freezer thermometers
• Installing weather stripping
• Installing water-saving showerheads and faucets

Most of these energy efficiency upgrades can be adopted by any FPL customer looking to make smarter, cleaner energy choices. Customers can learn about the improvements installed with Home Energy Makeovers by visiting the Energy Savings Toolkit section at http://www.FPL.com and taking a free, online Home Energy Survey.
