A Family-Owned Builder With A Personal Approach

Since 2016, Bahnam Builders has helped families across Southwest Florida create homes designed around the way they actually live. We combine personalized service, flexible floor plans, and quality craftsmanship to deliver a building experience that’s transparent, enjoyable, and centered around you.

Our Story

Bahnam Builders is a family-owned business, owned and run by siblings Ava and Alan Bahnam. We started with a simple belief: the way a home gets built matters as much as the home itself. The people that build it, the choices that go into it, the time it takes to finish, all of it should reflect the people that are going to live there.

With over a decade of experience building across Southwest Florida, we’ve grown into a builder Ft. Myers area families trust because we consistently deliver:
From Cape Coral to Fort Myers and beyond, our reputation is built on trust, quality, and homes that fit the people inside them.

Meet the Team

A dedicated team committed to delivering quality craftsmanship, communication, and an exceptional home building experience throughout Southwest Florida.

Alan Bahnam

Owner & Licensed General Contractor

Alan Bahnam is the Owner and Licensed General Contractor of Bahnam Builders. Since founding the company in 2016, he’s helped families across Southwest Florida build homes that are as functional as they are personal, combining quality craftsmanship with a process designed around each client.

Before launching Bahnam Builders, Alan worked as a supervisor for a nationally recognized home builder, managing large scale residential construction from the ground up. That experience gave him a deep understanding of production building and a clear picture of what a smaller, more per sonal builder could do better.

Today, Alan guides homeowners through every step of the build, from lot selection and floor plan customization to the final key handoff. His hands on approach, transparency, and commitment to quality are what Bahnam Builders is built on.

Ava Bahnam

Partner

Ava Bahnam is the Co-Owner of Bahnam Builders, where she leads client relations, business development, marketing, and day – to – day operations. Since co-founding the company alongside her brother Alan, she’s been central to building the relationships and the reputation that Bahnam Builders is known for across Southwest Florida.

Ava works closely with homeowners, real estate agents, lenders, title companies, and trade partners to keep every client on a clear, smooth path from first conversation to final closing. She’s the person who keeps communication flowing, expectations aligned, and the experience feeling personal, no matter how many homes are in progress at once.

Beyond client service, Ava leads the company’s branding, community partnerships, and outreach, all with the same goal: connecting families with a builder they can trust.

What Makes Bahnam Different

Florida tests a home with sun, salt, humidity, and storms. We build for all of it. Every detail, material, and finish is chosen with the people that will live there in mind.

Premium Building Materials

Hurricane-rated impact windows and doors. Stem wall foundations. Concrete block construction. Material choices made for the way Florida tests a house.

Attention to Every Detail

From the steel mesh in the foundation to the soft-close hinges on the cabinets, the details add up. It's the difference you notice the first time you close a kitchen drawer in a Bahnam home and every time after!

Modern, Functional Designs

Our plans are designed around the way Southwest Florida actually lives: open-concept great rooms that flow to lanais, primary suites that feel like retreats, kitchens built for the way meals actually happen.

Quality Checks

Every phase of the build gets checked, inspected, and signed off. Bahnam is a family-owned business. The buck stops with us, and that's a standard we like.

Skilled Workmanship

Our trades and crews are experienced Florida professionals who take pride in their craft and many of them have had working relationships with Bahnam for years.

Energy Efficiency

We build for Florida's climate. That means energy-efficient construction, modern HVAC, and finishes that hold up to sun and humidity. Lower utility bills now, less maintenance later.

Community Commitment

Building Homes. Strengthening Communities.

As a family-owned company, we believe our responsibility extends beyond the homes we build. Through Bahnam Cares, we support local schools, families, charitable organizations, and community initiatives throughout Southwest Florida.

What Our Homeowners Are Saying

Real experiences from Southwest Florida families share their experience building with Bahnam, from first consultation to move-in day.

Quality We Stand Behind

When your family’s name is on the sign out front, every decision gets made a little differently. Bahnam homes are built to a standard we’d be proud to live in ourselves and that standard doesn’t end at closing:

The reputation of our family rides on every home we deliver. That’s why our standards stay high, long after we hand over the keys.
