Who We Are

A Family Business
with Strong Roots

Ema Design Build was founded by Denny Curbelo and Ani Leiva, a husband-and-wife team with deep Floridian-Cuban roots and an even deeper respect for hard work, trust, and craftsmanship. What began as a shared vision has grown into a highly skilled team of licensed architects, MEP engineers, and interior designers — all united by a commitment to excellence and a passion for designing spaces that feel as good as they look.

What Sets Us Apart

We’re not just a construction company, we’re your partners in one of the most important investments of your life. Our integrated approach means you’ll never be left guessing. From 3D renderings and design to permitting and final walkthroughs, we handle it all in-house. Our team is detail-obsessed, schedule-driven, and fully licensed to ensure your project meets the highest standards , both legally and aesthetically.

Built for South Florida

We live here, we build here, and we take pride in serving the people and businesses of South Florida. We understand the permitting process, climate considerations, and local styles better than most — and we bring that knowledge into every home, renovation, and commercial space we create.

A Process You Can Trust

From your first consultation to the final walkthrough, we guide you every step of the way. We listen. We plan. We build with purpose. You’ll always know where your project stands, who to contact, and what comes next.

When you choose Ema Design Build, you’re not just hiring a company, you’re gaining a team of experts who treat your project like it’s our own.
