The main objectives of our team are twofold:

• To build each of our clients the home they desire within the agreed upon budget and time frame.

• To develop and maintain a lasting relationship with all of our clients by earning their respect every day - before, during and after the building process.

Although we are not a large organization, we are specifically organized to efficiently and effectively serve the needs of our clients. 

Farris Cowart, President and Owner, offers over 40 years of home construction and development experience and has been a successful builder on Kiawah and Seabrook Islands for over 10 years. In addition to managing the financial side of the business, he personally cost estimates every job, and oversees the building progress of each home.  His unique skills have proven to be ideal in not only providing our clients with top quality homes but also maintaining good on-going relationships with our clients long after their home is completed.

Bob Frattaroli, Executive V.P. Business Development is primarily responsible for Osprey’s client service activities. Along with Farris, Bob will work closely with all potential clients to be sure they get exactly the house they want within the agreed upon budget.  Bob, who resides on Kiawah Island in an Osprey-built home, directs his efforts and enthusiasm toward assisting clients in making the best decisions for their particular circumstances as well as maintaining continuing good relationship with them long into the future.

Rose Principe, Marketing Director, is responsible for sales lead development, web site management, advertising and marketing. She keeps communications flowing between Osprey and our prospects, providing them with the relevant information to make the appropriate design/construction decision. 

Doug James, Project Manager, secures and supervises our subcontractors in the construction of your home. He schedules and monitors the work on each home every step of the way.   His talents, experience and work ethic are strong assets for the team.

Sue Suffel, Project Coordinator, works closely with our clients to assist in the selection and installation of items such as kitchen cabinetry, lighting, plumbing fixtures, tile, etc.  Her primary responsibility is to work closely with our Project Manager to make sure that we correctly install these selections. She communicates via phone and email with clients to keep them informed of construction progress, including sending digital photos. She processes all draw requests and compiles and forwards payment histories.  Sue is a tremendous source of information for our clients who may not be familiar with the building process.

Mary Prince, Financial Services Manager, makes sure that subcontractors, suppliers and employees are paid in an accurate and timely manner.  She also works closely with Farris to insure the long-term financial health of the company.

In summary, Osprey Construction Company consists of dedicated people providing individual talents for prompt and efficient service to our clients. The skills of our team translate to a cost effective and pleasant experience for you.
