Today we’d like to introduce you to Oscar Morejon
Hi Oscar, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
The story of John Bell Construction starts with a simple but powerful idea: to create a construction company that stands out by being dependable, honest, and delivering exceptional service. For me, construction wasn’t just a career choice; it was a passion I discovered early in life. After spending years in the industry, including working under mentors like Jeff Gouveia Jr. at Suffolk Construction, I realized I was ready to take the leap and start my own company.
I noticed a real need in the market for general contractors who show up on time, do what they promise, and treat clients with respect. I believed that if I could stay true to those principles, growth would follow naturally. That belief became the foundation of John Bell Construction.
Starting out wasn’t easy. Like most entrepreneurs, I faced challenges, from building a great team to earning trust in a competitive market. But I stayed committed to my vision and worked hard to make it a reality. I owe a lot to my wife, who was the first person to believe in me and support me when I decided to start this journey.
Today, John Bell Construction is known for its innovative approach and dedication to exceeding client expectations. We’ve completed hundreds of projects, focusing on commercial, government, and healthcare sectors, and we’re proud to be a trusted name in South Florida. My journey has been one of resilience, hard work, and a belief in not just building structures, but also building relationships with clients and the community.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road, but I think that’s true for anyone pursuing something worthwhile. When I started John Bell Construction, one of the biggest challenges was earning trust in such a competitive industry. Building a reputation takes time, and you’re constantly proving yourself with every project.
What made it even more difficult was starting with only $1,500 to my name and a logo. The company name was created to sound established, but in reality, we had no investors, no work, no office, and no employees. It was just an idea and a vision I believed in.
Another struggle was assembling the right team. I knew that to deliver the level of service I envisioned, I needed people who shared the same values and work ethic. Finding those people wasn’t easy, but I’ve been fortunate to build a team that goes above and beyond to exceed client expectations.
There were also the usual challenges of starting and growing a business—managing cash flow, navigating unexpected setbacks, and balancing long hours with family life. But I’ve learned that challenges are opportunities in disguise. They force you to think creatively, stay persistent, and keep improving.
While the road hasn’t been smooth, I wouldn’t trade the journey for anything. Starting from scratch with so little taught me resilience and resourcefulness, and every obstacle along the way has shaped who I am today. It’s also made John Bell Construction stronger and better equipped to serve our clients with excellence.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
At John Bell Construction, we specialize in commercial, government, and healthcare projects, serving South Florida with a commitment to excellence and innovation. What sets us apart is our approach—we don’t just build structures; we build relationships. From the moment a project begins, our focus is on delivering an experience that goes beyond the expected.

One thing that truly sets us apart is our belief in a “SET APART” mindset. It’s not just a slogan; it’s a culture. It’s about providing unparalleled service, staying true to our word, and exceeding expectations at every turn.
Brand-wise, I’m most proud of how far we’ve come in such a competitive industry. The trust we’ve earned from our clients is invaluable, and it’s what motivates us to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
What I’d like readers to know about John Bell Construction is that we’re not just here to complete projects; we’re here to be a partner in bringing dreams to life. From concept to completion, we’re with our clients every step of the way, ensuring their vision becomes a reality.
What matters most to you?
What matters most to me is staying true to my values—both personally and professionally. Integrity, hard work, and genuine relationships are at the core of everything I do. In business, this means delivering on promises, exceeding expectations, and treating every project as an opportunity to create something meaningful for our clients.
On a personal level, it’s about being present for my family and leading by example. I want my actions to reflect the principles I stand for, whether it’s in my work or at home.
Why does this matter? Because I believe success isn’t just about achievements; it’s about how you achieve them and who you impact along the way. Staying grounded in what truly matters ensures that the work I do has purpose and leaves a lasting legacy.
