Tony (AV) Madureira is the Founder and President of AV Builder Corp. The company began as a small contracting company with two employees and has grown into a full service general contracting firm with more than 120 workers with licenses in California, Arizona and Nevada.
Tony began his career working for the family construction business in NY State. Shortly after high school and while attending the Business Management program at San Diego State University, AV Builder was formed. The first years were spent managing the business and attending school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. AVB received its first big break when asked to bid on a $2.1MM reconstruction project. After successfully obtaining that project, Tony implemented the first personal computer scheduling program called “Timeline”. When Tony handed out the schedule to the subcontractors, some laughed and some even tossed them to the ground. That project was managed exceptionally well with this new tool – to the extent that you could tell the day of the week by checking the real-time work activities.
Like most of us, Tony is a reflection of his roots. He was raised in a blue-collar environment where hard work and ‘doing a job right’ trumps everything. This work ethos provided the basis of how the company was built and how it is managed. His true success is not that he became a success, but that it was done [to this day] with this same core value.
Tony was a wrestler in school, having one of the best overall records ever recorded in southern NY. When he's not managing AVBuilder, Tony enjoys playing most anything...and it’s usually "game-on" when it’s time to have fun…some things never change.
