Meet Our Team
CHRISTOS KLAPSIS, CEO
Christos, a first generation Greek American, began his construction career in his early teens working with his father, a mason contractor in Bergen County, NJ. Christos learned early in life the value of hard work and partnerships. He started as a laborer and quickly moved into pre-planning with clients, architects, and engineers where he laid out the processes to deliver their projects on time and in budget. After college, Christos went on to work for a NYC brokerage firm, where they were responsible for the initial public offerings of 35 companies onto the Nasdaq. Later in life, Christos was able to combine the value-based lessons he learned on the job site with the financial disciplines he learned at the brokerage firm to start Streamline Builders, Inc. Christos’ ability to identify value from his client’s point of view, define their value stream, and seek continuous improvement has rendered his most proud accomplishment, a 100% client retention rate since 2010.
