The whole job,kept in house.

The creative design is ours, a licensed architect seals the construction documents, then permits, construction, roofing, air conditioning, millwork and planting. One licensed team, one schedule.

01What this means

Most builders coordinate subcontractors by phone. We hold the licences, employ the crews and run one schedule.

The design is developed here, and a licensed architect prepares and seals the construction documents. We coordinate the engineers, assemble the permit package and file it under our contractor's licence. The framing, the roof, the air conditioning, the cabinetry and the planting are done by our own crews, with our own machinery.

That removes the handoffs where projects lose time: the week spent waiting for a subcontractor to return a call, the detail nobody owns, the plan-review comment that sits unanswered.

02Two paths

New homes and remodels.

  • New homes

    A house on raw land or a cleared lot. We work from the survey forward: what the zoning allows, what the budget carries, what the site asks for.

    Typically includes

    • Survey review, zoning and setback check
    • Design in house, architect and engineering coordination, permit package
    • Site work, structure, roof, mechanicals, millwork and planting

  • Remodels and additions

    Kitchens, baths, whole-house renovations, additions and re-roofs, including houses we did not build. We look behind the walls before we promise anything.

    Typically includes

    • Existing-conditions review and site measurements
    • Permits for structural, roofing and mechanical work
    • Phasing so you can stay in the house where that is possible

03Capabilities

Eight parts of the same job.

  1. Design and architect coordination

    The creative design is ours: we develop the project in our studio, then work with a licensed architect, who turns it into the signed construction documents. If you already have an architect, we work with yours.

    Includes

    • Design development: layout, rooms, light and circulation
    • Material, finish and fixture selections
    • Construction documents prepared and sealed by a licensed architect

  2. Engineering coordination

    Structural, mechanical and civil engineering is prepared and sealed by licensed engineers. We prepare what they need and carry their comments back to the architect so they land in the set.

    Includes

    • Structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing coordination
    • Wind-load and product-approval documents
    • Revisions carried into the architect's set, not left loose

  3. Permitting

    We assemble the permit package, file it under our contractor's licence, answer the plan-review comments and carry it to issue. You are not the one chasing a reviewer.

    Includes

    • Package assembly and submittal under our contractor's licence
    • Responses to plan-review comments and resubmittals
    • Subpermits, notice of commencement and inspections
    • HOA and agency submittals where they apply

  4. General construction

    CGC1536477

    Foundations, structure, walls, roof dry-in, interiors and finishes, run by our own superintendent against one schedule.

    Includes

    • Site supervision and trade sequencing
    • Concrete, masonry and framing
    • Interior finishes and punch list

  5. Roofing

    CCC1336972

    Tile, metal and flat roofs, re-roofs and roof repairs, under our own roofing licence rather than a subcontract.

    Includes

    • Tear-off, deck repair and dry-in
    • Tile, metal and modified-bitumen systems
    • Flashing, vents and tie-ins to new work

  6. Air conditioning

    CAC1824160

    Load calculations, duct layout, equipment and installation. Because it is in house, the ducts are drawn before the ceilings are framed.

    Includes

    • Load calculation and equipment sizing
    • Duct and return layout coordinated with the structure
    • Installation, start-up and controls

  7. Custom millwork

    Cabinetry, built-ins, closets, doors and paneling cut and finished in our own shop, then installed by our own crew. We draw the shop drawings for it in house.

    See custom millwork

    Includes

    • Kitchens, vanities and closets
    • Built-ins, shelving and wall paneling
    • Interior doors, casing and trim

  8. Landscaping and site work

    Clearing, grading, drainage and driveways with our own machinery, and planting chosen for this climate rather than shipped in for the photograph.

    Includes

    • Clearing, grading and fill
    • Drainage, driveways and hardscape
    • Native and salt-tolerant planting
    • Irrigation and establishment

04Why one team

What changes when nothing is handed off.

  • Decisions do not wait

    A change to the cabinetry does not need three subcontractors to agree on a date. It is our shop, our crew and our schedule.

  • The trades meet on paper first

    The duct run, the roof framing and the millwork are reconciled on paper, before anyone is standing on site with a saw.

  • The permit is our responsibility

    We submit it, we answer the comments, we carry it to issue. If it stalls, it is ours to unstick, not yours.

05Licensed in Florida

Three state licences, held by this company.

Held by us, not borrowed from a subcontractor. Any of them can be verified with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. We do not hold an architect's licence: a licensed architect prepares and seals the construction documents.
