Marshall B. Bone, Inc. was started in Orlando in 1970 by Marshall B. Bone, Sr., as a Real Estate Company. In 1975, Marshall B. Bone, Jr. joined the company and started building homes and ultimately converted to commercial construction in the early eighties. He moved his family and the company to DeLand in 1988 and the company continues to build throughout Central Florida.

After receiving a Bachelor of Science Degree in Building Construction from the University of Florida in 1967, the next five and one half years were spent as a pilot in the United States Air Force. Beginning in 1973 Mr. Bone worked in the home building industry and for a commercial contractor. This and his degree in Building Construction proved to be a good foundation for the company's thirty years in the construction field. During this period the company has constructed several hundred residential units and numerous commercial projects. This construction has varied from small tenant improvements to professional offices, condominiums, churches, banks, automobile dealerships, movie theaters and manufacturing facilities.
