New construction and additions

built the way we would build our own

New homes, accessory buildings and additions, managed by one licensed general contractor from the first site visit to the certificate of occupancy.

How a build comes together

eight phases, one contractor
  1. Feasibility and budget

    Site visit, lot review and an honest budget range before you spend money on plans.

  2. Plans and engineering

    Coordinated with your architect or designer and a structural engineer, with selections planned early.

  3. Permits

    We file the building permit and schedule every inspection with the county or city.

  4. Site work and foundation

    Clearing, grading, utilities and the foundation, set out to the approved survey.

  5. Framing and dry-in

    Structure, roof, windows and exterior doors, inspected before anything is covered.

  6. Systems

    Plumbing, electrical and HVAC by licensed trade partners we have worked with for years.

  7. Interior and exterior finishes

    Drywall, cabinetry, tile, flooring, trim and paint, with our in-house crew on key phases.

  8. Final inspections and handover

    Certificate of occupancy, a joint walkthrough and a punch list we close out.

Additions that look like they were always there

An addition has to work with a house that is already standing: its foundation, framing, roofline, electrical service and finishes. We plan the tie-in before anything is demolished, so the new space matches inside and out.

  • Primary suites, in-law suites and family rooms
  • Second-story and rear additions, with engineering
  • Garages, covered porches and accessory buildings
  • Matching rooflines, exterior finishes and trim
  • Permits and inspections handled by us

Questions

Can you build on a lot I already own?

Yes. We start with a site visit to look at access, setbacks, flood zone, soil and utilities, then work with you and an architect or designer on plans that fit the lot and your budget.

Do you handle plans, engineering and permits?

We coordinate the architect or designer and the structural engineer, then file and manage the building permit and every inspection through the certificate of occupancy.

Can an addition match the rest of my house?

That is the goal on every addition. We match rooflines, exterior finishes, trim and interior details so the new space reads as part of the original home.

How is a new build or addition priced?

The same way we price everything: a line-item estimate broken down by phase and trade, with allowances for selections listed separately, and a written contract with Florida's required notices.
