About Us

Our Story

Founded in 1982 by Darden Davis, a passionate contractor and instructor, Florida Construction School was built on a love for teaching and a commitment to helping others succeed in the construction industry. After Darden’s passing in 1990, his wife Marlys took over the family business and rebranded it as Palm Construction School. Under Marlys’ leadership, the school became Florida’s #1 choice for contractor exam prep, helping thousands of students achieve their state contractor licenses.

In 2021, Marlys passed the torch to her daughter Brandy, a real estate developer, who carries forward the family legacy with a renewed focus on innovation and student success. Today, Palm Construction School combines decades of expertise with ongoing innovation, ensuring our students continue to excel in their exams and thrive in the industry.
