Fort Lauderdale · Broward County
General Contractor in Fort Lauderdale
Broward County is not the same construction environment as Florida's west coast, and the difference is written into the code. Broward and Miami-Dade make up the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which imposes product approval and installation requirements that do not apply in Lee or Collier County. A window schedule that passes in Naples can be rejected outright here.
That is the single most useful thing a contractor can bring to a Fort Lauderdale project: knowing before submittal that the assemblies specified are actually approved for this zone. We run commercial buildouts, property maintenance agreements, condominium and residential renovation work, and storm restoration across Broward.

What we build in Fort Lauderdale
Four divisions, one standard.
Commercial Construction
Small ground-up commercial buildings and tenant buildouts from $150K to $2.5M — permits, subcontractors, inspections, and schedule, managed to the standard the name demands.
Commercial Property Management
Recurring repair and maintenance contracts across Florida. Service calls, preventive maintenance, tenant turnover, and emergency response — one licensed GC accountable for all of it.
Residential Renovations
Bathroom remodels to full home renovations in Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Naples, and Fort Lauderdale — including additions and insurance reconstruction, built by a licensed GC.
Storm Repair & Restoration
Rapid-response demolition, dry-in, and reconstruction following hurricanes and natural disasters — with the documentation insurance carriers and FEMA demand.
Permitting in Fort Lauderdale
City of Fort Lauderdale · Broward County Board of Rules and Appeals
Municipal building departments issue permits across Broward, but the county's Board of Rules and Appeals is the local authority interpreting and enforcing the building code countywide. The practical effect is that High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements govern regardless of which city you are in, and product approval documentation is expected as part of a complete submittal rather than chased down after the fact.
- Broward sits in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone; exterior openings, roofing, and cladding require approved products with the documentation to prove it.
- Product approval or a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance should be assembled with the permit package, not after a plan reviewer asks.
- Older condominium buildings carry structural milestone inspection obligations alongside Broward's building safety inspection program, and required repairs frequently become the scope of work.
- Waterfront and marine-adjacent properties can require environmental or marine review beyond the building permit.
On the ground
What makes Fort Lauderdale projects different.
HVHZ product approval is the schedule risk
The most common avoidable delay on a Broward job is specifying an assembly without approval valid for this zone. Verifying that at estimate time, while substitutions are still cheap, is worth more than any amount of expediting later.
Condominium work runs on association rules
Elevator scheduling, permitted work hours, common-area protection, and unit access are governed by the association and drive the schedule as much as the code does. They belong in the estimate, not in a change order.
Structural inspections turn into real scopes
When a milestone or safety inspection identifies structural repair, the association needs a licensed general contractor who can price the report, sequence the repair around occupancy, and document it properly. That is squarely our work.
