A studio thatbuilds what it designs.

The creative design is ours. The plan, the light, the way the rooms work and the materials they are made of are developed in our own studio, with you. We then work with licensed architects who bring it to life as the signed construction documents, and with licensed engineers who prepare and seal the structural, mechanical and civil engineering. To be plain about what we hold: Jimenez Builders holds contractor licences — general building, roofing and air conditioning — and does not hold an architect's licence.

Coordinating that team is our work, not the owner's. The design we develop with you carries through the engineering and the detailing into the finished wall, because the company that designed it is the company that builds it.

Permitting is where South Florida projects usually stall. We assemble the package — the architect's sealed drawings, the engineers' sealed calculations, the product approvals and the forms — file the permit under our contractor's licence, answer the building department's comments and follow the revisions through to issue. The owner is not handed a folder and a phone number.

Because the same company designs, coordinates the permit and builds, what is approved is what gets built: the inspector, the drawings and the crew are looking at the same thing.
