Building Permit

Residential: whole-house renovations and reconstructions, additions, structural alterations, roof replacement and re-roofing, impact window and door replacement, kitchen and bathroom remodels, pools and decks, garage conversions, and change-of-use work.

Commercial: tenant improvements and interior build-outs, storefront and entrance replacement, restroom and accessibility upgrades, façade and roof work, and alterations that change occupancy, egress or fire separation.

We also prepare the smaller stand-alone permits that projects trip over: window and door replacement under a product approval, shutter and opening protection, and after-the-fact permits for work that was done without one.

Drawings drafted to the adopted Florida Building Code edition and the local amendments the county or city actually applies: dimensioned plans, demolition plans, elevations and sections, wall types, egress and life-safety data, and the details the reviewer will look for.

The supporting paperwork that decides whether a submittal is accepted or rejected: Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance numbers for windows, doors and roofing, design pressure schedules and opening-protection data, energy code compliance forms, and, where the scope requires it, structural calculations or a letter prepared by the engineer of record.

In the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone and in wind-borne debris regions the requirements tighten, and we build the package to that standard from the start rather than after a rejection.

We upload to the jurisdiction's portal, track the application through each review discipline, and keep you informed of where it actually sits rather than of when it was filed.

When comments come back we turn around a clean, clouded revision that answers each one point by point, so the second review is a check rather than a fresh argument.

Where the work needs a licensed professional to seal drawings or calculations, we coordinate with the architect or engineer of record, often the one you already work with, and hand them a set that is ready to sign.
