043: Luis De La Cruz - Strategies for High Stakes Construction Contracting

Mr. Luis De La Cruz founded his company, Andale construction back in 2006 after years of working his way up the construction food chain. He remembers while working as a laborer that people would tell him to hurry up saying “An-da-le, an-da-le” and for that reason decided that if he ever opened a company it would be called Andale construction because it was like his second name. Fast forward to 2012 and his 20-person person lands an $80M federal contract with a JV/MPP partner Sundt construction. In his professional life I’ve strived to be one who can apply and support the TEAM concept. TEAM (Together Everyone Achieves More) This is a heartfelt story where Mr. Cruz talks about being a former Marine to founding the company of his dreams. Today he is working on expanding programs and access for those underserved and people from his community.
