A builder who came up in the field

From the ground up

Evandro Filgueiras has spent his career on job sites, not behind a desk. He set aside his civil-engineering studies in Brazil to pursue an opportunity in the United States, arriving in South Florida in 2012 — and he learned construction the way it should be learned: from the ground up.

He started with his own hands, working across the trades, then moved into estimating and project management — where he helped grow a South Florida construction company several times over. For the better part of a decade after that, he ran construction end to end: first as construction manager for an established South Florida remodeler — estimating, project management, and day-to-day operations — then as the owner of his own construction company. That's where the two things that define True North today took shape: a builder's eye for detail, and a manager's discipline for budgets and schedules.

In 2024, he earned his Florida general contractor's license and founded True North Construction — a fresh start under his own name, built on years of hard-won experience and a clear vision: to help homeowners bring their vision to life, and to build it the right way.
