FAQ

Our state has stringent building codes regarding hurricanes and flooding. These include requirements for wind-resistant construction, flood elevation standards, and other safety measures. To ensure compliance, working with a builder or architect familiar with these local codes is essential. Our consultants and builders are experts in home building rules and regulations.

The completion time of a new home may depend on factors such as the build complexity, home size, permit approval processes, and weather conditions. Once the actual construction begins, it can take anywhere from six months to a year. When you meet with us, we can discuss your home's vision and give you a rough timeline of when it can be completed.

While you can build in many parts of the state, certain areas may have restrictions due to zoning laws, environmental protection regulations, or homeowners' association (HOA) rules. Before purchasing land or starting your build, research or consult with local authorities and review any HOA guidelines to ensure compliance. If you need a permittable lot to build your dream home, our team can refer you to a reputable agent who will help you find one.

Hurricane season in the state can potentially delay construction timelines. Builders who construct homes in this state like us can incorporate hurricane-resistant features into new homes, which can also extend construction times. Planning your build outside the peak hurricane months or allowing for flexible timelines can help mitigate these impacts and allow builders to complete your home on time.

Choosing the right builder is critical. Look for builders with experience in Florida who know local building codes and climate protection requirements. We encourage you to request references and portfolios of previous projects. When meeting and advancing your relationship with your builder of choice, clearly communicate your expectations, budget, and timeline before signing a contract. Our team is available to learn more about what you envision and develop a plan to achieve it.
