Founders
The father and son duo which invented the patented OzziCap piling cap.
Our Story
Ozzie Suarez a second generation home builder and his son Aviel Suarez who graduated with a professional architecture degree started a boutique design build company specializing in coastal homes. The main focus for this design & build duo was not only aesthetics, but most importantly building performance. Ozzie and Aviel wanted to elevate the building standard to a new level which is substantially higher than what is demanded of a builder today. During their typical research and search of new technologies and products they came across fiberglass pilings which where being mainly produced for docks. They reached out to the manufacturer of these piles to get the specifications and to see if it could be used for an alternative deep foundation system for homes. After many trials and tribulations, they decided to implement on the following project. The missing link to this particular use of the pilings was the connection to the remainder of the house. A structural engineer associated with the pile manufacturer formulated a solution which turned out to be very cumbersome and inefficient. Ozzie and Aviel went back to the drawing table, they formulated a solution for not only logistics, but to also fortify one of the weakest points in a foundation system. This was the catalyst and led to the creation of the OzziCap with one simple goal in mind: to make a superior product that would enhance the resilience of structures to future storms. With an extensive background in the construction industry, they saw an opportunity to create innovative products that would make the projects easier and more secure.
The first implementation of the pile cap was on the following project which was in Milford, CT in 2015. This is when it became evident that there was nothing else in the marketplace that connected the 3 main structural elements together. At this time Ozzie and Aviel decided to attempt obtaining a design and utility patent for the product. Unfamiliar with this process it wouldn't be until 6 years later when the patent would be granted.
​
After additional research, testing, and development on the first version. Ozzie and Aviel implemented the new and improved version of the OzziCap on another coastal project in Milford. The name was not attributed to the product until Aviel's father Ozzie passed away in January of 2020. Aviel decided it would be best to name the product in remembrance of his father and continue his legacy.

Today, OzziCap is offering a range of products designed to help the coastal construction industry work faster, more efficiently and most importantly more resilient.
