Licensed Florida GC · CGC1541479
General Contractor in Coral Gables, FL
Coral Gables was planned in the 1920s around a consistent Mediterranean look, and the city still protects it. Before many projects get a building permit here, they go through the city's Board of Architects.
What to know before you build or remodel in Coral Gables
- Board of Architects review. The board reviews projects such as new residences, building expansions, pools, pavement and roof tiles for compatibility of color, materials, windows and proportion, giving preliminary and final approval before the permit is issued.
- Tree surveys. Board submittals and demolition permits require a tree survey and tree protection plan.
- Pre-approved colors. The city publishes approved exterior paint color lists.
- City permits. After design approval, permits come from the City of Coral Gables building department.
- High-Velocity Hurricane Zone product approvals for windows, doors and roof tiles.
