DeCosta Construction

DeCosta Construction is the largest building contractor in Freedom City. The company is a local success story and quite popular with the blue-collar community for the number of jobs its provides. It is based out of a renovated brownstone in Southside. DeCosta runs ads showing images of some of the best-known buildings in Freedom being repaired and new landmarks going up with the slogan “DeCosta, building Freedom.”
Rumors suggest ties between DeCosta Construction and The Mob, which does have ties to some of the city’s labor unions. DeCosta vehemently denies any such allegations, and police investigations have never turned up any evidence of Mob ties.

Structure

The owner and founder of the company is Frank “Buddy” DeCosta, an amiable man who worked construction and managed Fairhaven Builders before starting his own business. Although he constantly reminds people he has nothing more than a high school education, Buddy still runs a successful company. He’s proud of the work DeCosta Construction does in Freedom.
Southsiders know Buddy DeCosta as a family man and a decent, hard-working guy who built his company up from nothing into the largest construction business in Freedom City. DeCosta is a straightforward man who speaks his mind.
He never hesitates to tell a customer the truth and expects the same in return. Although he works hard, Buddy’s true pride and joy is his wife Angelina and their four children—Mary, Julie, Frank Jr., and Cindy, and his preschool-aged grandson (Mary’s son), Richard “Richie” Sylvestri. Cindy DeCosta attends Freedom College in Southside, while Frank, Jr. recently began working for his father’s company.
