About Us

The experience to get the job done.
The knowledge to get the job done right.

We are general contractors and equipment suppliers specializing in the hospitality industry in the New York Metropolitan area.

Founded in 1945 by the late Frank Parlamis, FPI continues to operate with the same principles that its founder instilled some 70 years ago. A carpenter and craftsmen, Frank started his business constructing many coffee shops and diners for the exploding greek immigrant population. Known for building "the indestructible restaurant", Frank and his brother Spiro began to bring their children and family into their operation. Frank's son, the late Michael F. Parlamis, PE, operated the business until his passing in 2013, and brought a new dynamic including architectrual and engineering services to FPI. Michael, a graduate of MIT and a construction professional who worked on numerous NYC skyscrapper projects, handled all professional filings and DOB forms for all Parlamis projects.

Currently headed by Michael's son Alexander Parlamis, FPI continues to build on its impeccable reputation for handling projects with unique mechanical, electrical, plumbing and construction issues.

We add value by identifying and implementing out of the box solutions for our clients, to better serve their operations and increase their profit margin. Through value-engineering, forecasting, and packaging construction, equipment and furnishings, Alex and his team continue to please the hospitality industry's brightest and best.
