The Principals
Phil Dufour President & Co-Founder
Phil has been in the construction business for more than 24 years. He started as a carpenter apprentice and worked his way up to Operations Manager of one of the largest construction firms in the northeast. While there, Phil obtained his ICC© Code Council inspection credentials. Since moving to sunny Florida, Phil has worked for both public (jurisdictional) and private provider inspection firms.
Phil brings a vast array of knowledge to our customers and to his teammates at Aquila. His love of teaching and uncanny ability to recite code and clearly explain it gives our builders a unique inspection experience.
Scott Porter VP & Co-Founder
Scott has over 35 years of diverse experience in the construction industry. Starting as a helper on a framing crew to running his own General Contracting company to being named a Commissioner in Texas to sit on the commission that regulates the building industry, Scott's background and experience was the perfect base for his becoming a licensed inspector and now a Building Code Administrator (Building Official).
Phil and Scott felt that there was a need for a Private Provider inspection firm in Florida that could work together as a team with the builders in an open, respectful and communicative way. They both have been on the builder's side and understand how trying and difficult the business can be. The goal at Aquila is to provide quality, consistent code compliant inspections and to work with the Builders as a team , not as an adversary.
