Our Mission — To develop and construct quality projects, maintain open and honest communication, and build good relationships with our partners, customers, and vendors.
Led by a team of skilled civil engineers, H&M Builders is a full-service construction company with proven expertise in general contracting and shell construction.

Following the lead of the family patriarch, Mr. Herbert Dornbusch — who founded the Colombian construction company, Dorco, in the 1950s and has since built over 40M square-feet of commercial and residential property — father-son team Harry and Joey Dornbusch created H&M to bring his vision to the United States. Keeping that close relationship alive through all facets of the company, H&M regards its clients and associates as family; and as a result, takes pride in being reliable, honest and efficient in all of its pursuits.
As an active member of the real estate community for more than 25 years, Harry Dornbusch is responsible for developing a combined total of 10M square-feet of property in Colombia, Venezuela, and Florida. First earning a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the prestigious Georgia Institute of Technology, where he graduated with honors, Mr. Dornbusch later went on to attain a Master’s in Civil Engineering from the University of California at Berkeley.
His portfolio of success includes multiple office, industrial, retail and multi-family development projects — like Whispering Woods Center, Palmetto Center, Stirling Business Center, Hallandale Plaza, and Beacon Tower of Aventura. Outside of the world of real estate development, Mr. Dornbusch also founded Matelfer C.A., a leading construction supply distributor in Venezuela, which he continues to run today.
As a Project Manager for H&M Builders, Joey Dornbusch handles everything from scheduling and site management, to permits, planning, and contractor coordination. Earning a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology — with a focus on process, operations, and construction management — Mr. Dornbusch
has since led many multimillion construction projects from inception to completion.
He prides himself on his ability to meet client needs according to schedule and budget, and values teamwork, positivity, focus, and efficiency in all H&M pursuits.
