Founder’s Story
Jason Tisdell is a Winter Park local, a Rollins College Graduate and captain of the Rollins soccer team. Building homes is in the blood. Jason’s father was a homebuilder, and taught him the ropes at an early age. In 2001 Jason took a role as employee number three with a small customer builder, and helped grow that business to 14 employees and over 100 homes per year. After getting that initial taste of growth and entrepreneurship, Jason wanted to learn more about scale, processes, efficiency, and quality control working with a larger builder. He joined Avatar/AV Homes as a Director and oversaw a team of 12 construction managers, running approximately 350 concurrent builds.
After a few years, Jason made the leap to go out on his own, and start Cardell. From his extensive experience, he knew the good, bad, and ugly of the construction business. He knew there was a better way, and he knew he could deliver it. He started with smaller builds, building relationships, and gaining lifetime clients. Eventually moving to larger and larger builds, branching out into commercial, multi-family, and luxury homebuilding.
Cardell started the luxury homebuilding side of the business full bore in 2010. Detail oriented luxury clients immediately recognized the value of experience. The ability to foresee challenges and make recommendations to really maximize the build that others wouldn’t see. The flexibility in unique design types (Historic, Mediterranean, Modern, etc) was also appealing, not building the same style of home over and over again.
