Three divisions, three generations, and one commitment to building South Florida the right way.
Tom Krips Construction brings several critical phases of construction under one experienced team. From structural shell work to docks, seawalls, pile driving, earthwork, drainage, and building pads, our services are built around the real needs of South Florida projects.
Structural concrete services for foundations, slabs, shell construction, structural walls, concrete roofing, and supporting concrete work. Built to meet engineering specifications and support long-term structural performance.
Marine construction services for seawalls, docks, boat lifts, pile driving, bulkheads, decks, boardwalks, and dredging. Built for waterfront conditions, shoreline protection, and durable access to the water.
Land clearing, site preparation, selective demolition, earthwork, sheet piling, helical piles, drainage, and building pads. These services help prepare properties for safe, efficient, and build-ready construction.
Structural concrete is one of the most important phases of any construction project. Tom Krips Construction supports residential, commercial, and development projects with concrete systems that are built for strength, accuracy, and long-term performance.
Our team understands the importance of proper preparation, sequencing, formwork, reinforcement, placement, and coordination with plans. Whether the project requires foundations, slabs, structural walls, concrete roofing, or a complete shell package, the goal is the same: deliver dependable structural work that keeps the project moving.
Waterfront construction requires more than standard construction experience. Marine projects must account for water movement, erosion, access, soil conditions, shoreline stability, permitting requirements, and long-term exposure to South Florida’s coastal environment.
Tom Krips Construction provides marine construction services for docks, seawalls, bulkheads, boat lifts, pile driving, decks, boardwalks, and dredging. Our work is designed to protect property, improve waterfront access, and support durable marine structures.
A strong project starts before the foundation is poured. Tom Krips Construction provides land services that help prepare properties for construction, improve site access, manage water flow, and support future structural work.
From land clearing and earthwork to drainage, building pads, sheet piling, helical piles, and selective demolition, these services help create a more efficient path from raw site conditions to construction-ready property.
We review the scope, plans, site conditions, access requirements, and construction goals.
We identify the correct structural, marine, or land services needed to support the project.
Our team coordinates equipment, crews, materials, and site readiness before work begins.
Work is completed with attention to safety, plan accuracy, site conditions, and project timelines.
We confirm completed work, address project needs, and support the next phase of construction.

Whether it's shell construction, structural concrete, seawalls, docks, or other marine work, they consistently deliver outstanding results with attention to detail and a commitment to quality that is second to none. What sets Tom Krips Construction apart is their experience, accountability, and dedication to doing things the right way. I have complete confidence in their team and know that every project will be completed safely, efficiently, and to the highest standards. I recommend Tom Krips Construction without hesitation.

Howe Real Estate Jason Howe, President“We’ve been working with Tom Krips Construction for over 30 years and have always had the same predictable outcome — quality, transparency, and doing what’s right. Their consistency and integrity have made them a trusted partner on every project. We look forward to continuing our shared legacy of craftsmanship and collaboration for many years to come.”
W.A. Bentz Construction Justice Bentz"We’re a luxury residential builder in Fort Lauderdale, and Tom Krips Construction has been our preferred shell contractor for years. On high-end waterfront homes, the shell is everything — if the structure isn’t right, nothing that follows is. Their crews consistently deliver clean, accurate concrete and masonry work, hit tight pour schedules, and coordinate well with our engineers and inspectors on complex structural details. Their marine division is equally strong. Seawalls, docks, and waterfront structural work in this market require real expertise with HVHZ requirements and marine conditions, and they handle it all in-house — a huge advantage on waterfront builds where the seawall and shell need to move together. Responsive management, professional field crews, and quality you can build on. Highly recommend for anyone doing serious residential construction in South Florida."
Kass Construction Andrew Kass“I highly recommend Krips Marine Construction. Having owned multiple homes on the water, I know that marine construction is incredibly complex and requires a high level of precision. Taylor, Rich and the entire team were incredibly detailed, delivered as promised at a high level and, even when small issues were identified, were quick to resolve and deliver above and beyond expectations. The Krips name and companies have a sterling reputation and my family experienced this well earned reputation!”
Homeowner Pat O’Connell"I first met Tom Krips in 1990 when I was working for a mid-sized commercial contractor that had recently expanded into custom home construction. Since that first meeting, I have had the opportunity to work with Tom and his team on dozens of projects over the past 35 years. At WA Bentz Construction, we’ve relied on Krips Construction for everything from structural shell work and seawalls to complex renovations and large slab, column, and beam pours. When a project presents unusual challenges or requires a high level of structural expertise, Tom is one of the first people I call. The more difficult the project, the more likely we are to team up with the Krips team. Tom has earned an outstanding reputation through decades of hard work, integrity, and consistently delivering quality results. He approaches every project with professionalism, practical experience, and a commitment to doing the job right. His team is dependable, knowledgeable, and takes pride in their workmanship. After working together for more than three decades, I can say without hesitation that Tom Krips is one of the finest contractors I’ve had the privilege of working with. I recommend him and Krips Construction with complete confidence."
