We
note from your response to prior comment 3 that services outlined in the agreement with Chartered Services have no specific deadlines
or deliverables and that services are not directly related to the IPO. However, we also note your disclosure on page F-14 that Chartered
Services is to provide strategic consulting services related to the company’s IPO for six months unless otherwise earlier terminated
due to breach of the agreement by either party and the failure to cure such breach 30 days after written notice thereof. Please reconcile
these discrepancies. Additionally, we note your reference to ASC 505-50 to assess the value of the services provided by Chartered
Services. Please tell us how you considered the guidance in ASC 718 to account for your share-based compensation and revise your
disclosure accordingly.
Response:
The
Company acknowledges the Staff’s comments and has revised its disclosures to reflect the proper fair value evaluation consistent
with ASC 718. As noted in our revised disclosure, there were a number of potential services to be provided, with IPO
services being only one small potential service named in the agreement. The Company has amended its agreement with Chartered
Services to clearly reflect the intention of the parties and potential IPO services has been removed from the agreement. Additionally,
the agreements contain no deliverables or performance milestones from Chartered Services and the Company cannot require the shares
to be returned even if the agreement is cancelled for non-performance by the Company. As a result, the full fair value of the shares
has been expensed in the current period as there is no clear remaining requisite service period.

you have any questions relating to any of the foregoing, please contact Gina Austin, Esq. of Austin Legal Group, APC at (619) 924-9600.

Dear Ms. Yale and De Lorenzo:
Please see below for responses
to the Division’s letter dated December 20, 2024 regarding the above captioned matter. All comments have been addressed in the
Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed December 26, 2024 (“Amendment”) and/or as further herein detailed.

We refer to your revised disclosure here. Please also revise to clarify, if true, that the projected profit amounts do not include other expenses, such as general expenses or depreciation expenses.
Response:
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comments and has clarified the projected profit does include general operating expenses and depreciation expenses.
Note 4 - Business Segment Information, page F-11

We note your revisions and response to prior comment 2. Please disclose the amount of total assets for each reportable segment, or explain why such information is not disclosed in accordance with ASC 280-10-50-26.
Response:
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comments and has revised the table accordingly.
Note 10 - Equity, page F-30
3.
We note you issued 360,000 shares of common stock to Chartered Services for services valued at $360,000 and fully expensed in the period ended September 30, 2024. Please tell us how you determined the accounting treatment for this share-based payment arrangement and the method of estimating the fair value of your common stock issued in July 2024. Please cite the applicable guidance in your response.
Response:
The
Company acknowledges the Staff’s comments and has clarified the method for estimating and cited
the applicable guidance in the amendment. In accordance with ASC 820, we used the fair value of the
services provided, as the stock does not trade and has never been sold for cash. Paragraph 3 of the
Chartered Services agreement provides that if the agreement is canceled, the shares are immediately
due and payable and cannot be reclaimed thereby eliminating any possibility of a clawback. The services
outlined in the agreement have no specific deadlines or deliverables, justifying the decision to
expense the entire amount upfront. The services are not directly related to the IPO but rather pertain
to business development, general consulting, GAAP compliance and establishing a board of directors,
and as such, they are not a deferred offering cost. Additionally, the equity interest granted does
not meet the criteria outlined in ASC 321-10-20 for being considered readily determinable. The invoice
provided by Chartered Services confirms that the cash price for similar services would be consistent
with the $360,000 amount quoted

Dear
Ms. Yale and De Lorenzo:
Please
see below for responses to the Division’s letter dated October 28, 2024 regarding the above captioned matter. All comments have
been addressed in the Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed November 8, 2024 (“Amendment”) and/or as further herein detailed.
Amendment
No. 1 to Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1
Increased
costs of labor and materials can materially adversely affect our business. . ., page 13
1. We
acknowledge your revised disclosures in response to prior comment 8, and note your revised
statement that although most of the inflationary costs are passed to the customer, the cumulative
effect of the delays and increased costs “may” have a significant adverse impact
on your profitability and cash flow. Please further revise your disclosure to explain that
for the first six months of 2024, your revenues decreased by 52% in this period as compared
to the prior period for 2023, which is partially as a result of inflation and high interest
rates on construction loans, as you state on page 32.
Response: The
Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the relevant risk factor to
include the percentage decrease in revenue for the first six months of 2024 compared to the
first six months of 2023, noting that this was partially the result of inflation and high
interest rates on construction loans. Additionally, the risk factor was further revised to
acknowledge that such conditions have had an adverse impact on the Company and may continue
to do so in the future.

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, page 25
2. We
note your references to forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Please be advised that the safe harbor
provisions for forward-looking statements are inapplicable to you because you are not currently
a reporting company. Therefore, please revise to make it clear that the safe harbor provisions
do not apply to this offering.
Response: The
Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and revised the Cautionary Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements to remove all language related to Section 27A of the Securities
Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. The Company further acknowledges that such safe
harbor provisions are inapplicable to the Company.
Industry
and Market Data, page 26
3. We
acknowledge your revised disclosures in response to prior comment 11, but note that your
revised disclosure continues to state that you have not independently verified industry and
market data obtained from various third-party sources. As previously stated, it is not appropriate
for you to directly or indirectly disclaim liability for information in the registration
statement. Accordingly, please revise to include a sentence specifically confirming that
you are responsible for all disclosures in the registration statement, or alternatively,
remove such disclosure.
Response: The
Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and removed the disclosure related to independent
verification of industry and market data obtained from various third-party sources.
Business
Overview,
page 37
4. We
note your response to prior comment 17 and your revised disclosures that 50% and 52% of your
revenues for the fiscal years ended 2023 and 2022, respectively, resulted from business with
one franchise client. Please further revise your disclosures to (i) describe the material
terms of your business arrangements with this franchise client (e.g., whether you enter into
fixed price contracts), and (ii) discuss how much of your current projects are for this significant
franchise client.
In
addition, we note your disclosures regarding your experience with franchisors and franchisees
for “national, fast expanding brands.” Please revise to clarify if this significant
customer is included in that category of your business.
Response: The
Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has identified the significant franchise
client by name to clarify that the significant client is one of the “national, fast
expanding brands”. Further, the Company described the material terms of its standard
business arrangements and provided the percentage of its total revenue that is from the significant
client year-to-date with this client.
Additionally,
corresponding changes were also made to the Company Overview on page 2.

Preferred
Builder Status with Franchisors, page 44
5. We
note your revised disclosures in response to prior comment 16. Please expand this section
to describe the percentage of your business that is attributable to your preferred builder
status with franchisors and how the bid success rate of these projects compares with other
types of your projects. In this regard, we note your disclosure on page 33 that historically,
you have been awarded greater than 50% of the bids you submit. Please also revise to explain
with how many franchisors you have the preferred builder status and when such status allows
you to bypass the formal bidding process.
Response: The
Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised its preferred builder disclosures
to identify the number of franchises in which it has achieved the preferred builder designation,
describe the approximate percentage of business that is attributable to its preferred builder
status and the typical bid success rate for these projects compared to other types of projects.
Principal
Stockholders, page 56
6. We
refer to your revised disclosures, including on page F-24, that following the reorganization,
there were 3,640,000 shares of class A common stock and 4,000,000 shares of class B common
stock, and that Mr. Basile III owned 4,365,000 shares and the Basile Family Irrevocable Trust
owned 3,250,000 shares, which represented 57% and 43% ownership in you. However, your disclosures
in this table do not show total of 3,640,000 shares of class A common stock. Please revise
your disclosures to reconcile, or advise. Also, we note your disclosure in footnote 3 that
the beneficial owner of the trust is Lisa Ann Basile as she has control over the trust. Please
revise your disclosures to clarify whether she has both voting and dispositive control over
such shares held by the trust. In addition, revise your disclosures throughout your prospectus
as appropriate to explain the total amount of voting power that will be controlled by your
CEO and his family trust on a collective basis, or advise.
Response: The
Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised its disclosures related to
the ownership following the reorganization, and otherwise. The disclosures on F-24 erroneously
aggregated the Company’s Class A and Class B Common Stock, which has been reconciled.
Further, the Principal Stockholders table represents the issued and outstanding securities
of the company on the date of the previous filing rather than immediately following the reorganization.
The
Company has further revised its disclosure related Lisa Ann Basile’s control of the
Basile Family Trust to confirm that she has both voting and dispositive control over the
shares held by the trust. Based on the terms of the trust, Joseph F. Basile does not have
direct or indirect voting or dispositive control of the shares of the Company and, therefore,
should not be considered a beneficial owner of such shares. As a result, revised disclosures
throughout the prospectus are unwarranted.

note your discussion of business segments throughout your filing. Please tell us your consideration
to include segment disclosure required by ASC 280-10-50, as applicable. Should you determine
that you have a single reportable segment, explain your basis for your conclusion, including
a discussion of whether your different revenue streams or business segments represent separate
operating segments. If operating segments have been aggregated, please tell us the basis
for such aggregation and also tell us your consideration of the disclosure requirements in
ASC 280-10-50- 21.

related to your typical revenue contracts:
● The
nature of the goods and services that you have promised to transfer. Please ensure your disclosure
highlights the various service offerings provided given the range of services discussed under
your various business segments starting on page 3. See ASC 606-10-50-12;
● The
typical contract length for your arrangements;
● The
performance obligation(s) you have determined from your contracts with customers including
whether your arrangements have one or multiple performance obligations. For each performance
obligation, highlight whether the company has bundled any goods or services that are not
considered distinct. See ASC 606-10-25-14 through 25-19; and,
● Provide
the disclosures related to your remaining performance obligations pursuant to ASC 606-10-50-13
through 50-16.
Response: The
Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has expanded its revenue recognition policy
disclosures to include the nature of the goods and services, typical length of its arrangements
and performance obligations.
Note

● Provide

refer to the guidance in paragraphs ASC 606-10-55-89 through 55-91; and,
● Disclose
revenue recognized in fiscal years 2022 and 2023 that was included in the contract liability
balance at the beginning of the period.
Response: The
Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised its disclosures regarding
revenue from contracts with customers to further disaggregate its revenue and disclose revenue

limitation:
•revise to balance your statement that you will "thrive in the years to come" with
appropriate disclosure explaining that you will require significant expenditures to
fund future growth and that you may not be able to obtain additional funds at all or on
acceptable terms, as you discuss on page 9; and
•balance your discussion of your recent increase in gross revenues by explaining that
your results of operations are likely to fluctuate significantly and historical results
should not be considered indicative of results for any future periods, as you state on
page 14, and also that your revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024
decreased by 57% compared to the prior period.
You should also revise to focus your disclosures on those projects that are completed or
currently in development, and clarify the projects that are aspirational.
4.You state that your primary market is the Florida Atlantic region and that you have
completed projects across 36 states. Please revise to disclose the state(s) of the majority of
your construction projects. In addition, balance your disclosure by discussing the
competitive state of the industry in these areas, and also highlight your significant reliance
on a single customer by quantifying the percentage of your revenues resulting from it.

date that is in excess of the FDIC insurance limit, and identify the financial

operating history despite the number of years of operations and add balancing disclosure
in your Summary section to highlight these issues.
Increased costs of labor and materials can materially adversely affect our business. . ., page 11

discussion on page 30 disclosing that your interest expense increased by more than 600%
in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the prior period primarily
because of an increase in residential project funding and that your revenues during this
period declined partly because of inflation and high interest rates on construction loans.
Risks Relating to Our Securities and this Offering
The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile...., page 16
9.Please revise your disclosure to discuss the risks to investors investing in stock where the
price is changing rapidly. Also clearly state that instances of extreme stock price run-ups
followed by rapid price declines and stock price volatility may be unrelated to your actual
or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it
difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of your stock.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, page 23
10.We note your statement that forward-looking statements are comprised of "[a]ll
statements [] other than statements of historical fact." This definition of forward-looking
statements is overly broad. Please revise accordingly.
Industry and Market Data, page 24
11.We note your statements that you have not independently verified industry and market
data obtained from various third-party sources and that the accuracy and completeness of
the information are not guaranteed. As it is not appropriate for the company to directly or

such disclosure or include a sentence specifically confirming that you are responsible for
all disclosures in the registration statement.
Dilution, page 27
12.We note your pro forma net tangible book value as of March 31, 2024, for the issuance of
360,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to Chartered Services, LLC for consulting
services in 2024, was approximately $6,179,323 or approximately $1.70 per share. Please
tell us how you calculated $1.70 per share.
Results of Operations, page 29
13.We refer to your explanation that the decrease in revenue from March 31, 2024 and the
prior period is due to several factors, including seasonality in the industry, inflation, and
high interest rates on construction loans. Please expand your disclosure to provide
additional context for the effect of seasonality. In addition, please revise to identify the
principal factors contributing to your inflationary pressures aside from the higher interest
rates on loans (e.g., from your supply chain or labor shortages), and expand your
discussion on the higher interest rates for your loans. Identify actions taken or planned, if
any, to mitigate the impact of these factors.
14.Please provide a breakdown of your backlog of contracts, current contracts and contracts
that you have bid on. With respect to the backlog and current contracts, please clarify

additional information regarding the business of each segment, and include information
regarding your current projects and upcoming developments for which you have entered
into contracts. Disclose the status of any government approvals or preliminary steps that
remain necessary. Revise to discuss your use of subcontractors, as we note you have
disclosure discussing risks relating to your use of subcontractors, but you also state on
page 39 that you rely on your own "skilled tradesmen, rather than outsourcing to
subcontractors."
16.Please add a discussion regarding the types of agreements you have with your clients,
subcontractors, and other suppliers, including the material terms of those agreements.
With respect to your discussion of your business with franchisees, please revise to discuss
your "strategic alliances" with franchisors, and explain if you submit bids for these
contracts. Also revise to provide an overview of which projects require bids, how
management determines whether to bid on any particular project, and provide investors
with some context regarding your success rate for being awarded such projects.
17.You disclose on page 13 that a substantial portion of your revenue is derived from
services provided to a single customer, and also state on page 5 that you are dependent on
a "limited number" of customers. To the extent you are dependent on a few major
customers, please revise your disclosures appropriately. In addition, expand
your description of the company’s business to disclose the type of business you conduct
with your major customer. See Item 101(h) of Regulation S-K. Additionally, please file as
an exhibit any material agreements or contracts you may have with this customer and any
other customer on which your business is substantially dependent. See Item 601(b)(10)(ii)
of Regulation S-K.
18.We note your statements on pages 4 and 36 that you have a recent agreement as the
contractor for a 79-unit townhome development. You also disclose on page 54 that you
were recently awarded a $21 million project with Rare Capital Partners to build an 80-

22.Please revise your disclosures regarding voting rights to be consistent with the terms of
your governing documents. For example, we note that certain bylaw amendments may
require supermajority vote. Also revise to clarify why your Nevada articles of
incorporation appear to indicate that they will be amended pursuant to the laws of the
state of Florida. In addition, expand your disclosures to discuss the ability for
stockholders to take action by written consent.
Consolidated Balance Sheets, page F-3
23.Please revise your balance sheets to present the number of shares issued and outstanding,
along with the dollar amount for each class of common stock, for the respective
periods. Additionally, we note Class A and Class B common stock amounts are presented
in your capitalization table on an actual basis on page 26, but not in your consolidated
statements of changes in shareholder equity for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Please reconcile this discrepancy.
