Uzi Zaray’s journey into construction began with an unexpected spark: a passion for filmmaking. This artistic foundation led him to the intricate world of set design, where he honed his skills in transforming concepts into tangible realities.

Today, Uzi holds a General Building Contractor license, an Electrical Contractor license, and prestigious IICRC certifications as a Water Restoration Technician (WRT), Contents Processing Technician (CPT), and Fire & Smoke Restoration Technician (FSRT). This comprehensive skill set positions Ground Up Builders as a versatile and reliable partner for a wide range of construction and restoration needs.
