In 2004, Ferreira Construction was contemplating establishing roots in the Florida Treasure Coast area. Shortly thereafter, Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne struck Florida, and Ferreira joined forces with other contractors in cleanup efforts and emerged as Ferreira Southern based out of Stuart. Initially, Ferreira Southern specialized in sitework and paving, but in 2007, Ferreira Southern expanded its area of expertise to include marine work. Ferreira Southern has been operating in the Florida Treasure Coast region for over a decade and has now expanded further south to include Miami.
