General Contractor in Miami Beach, FL
Miami Beach is a barrier island where three things shape almost every project: salt air, flood exposure and historic preservation. Many of its buildings are decades old, and large parts of the city are in locally designated historic districts.
What to know before you build or remodel in Miami Beach
- Permits come from the City of Miami Beach, and exterior work in historic districts goes through the city's historic preservation and design review process before the permit.
- Concrete and salt air. Constant exposure to the ocean speeds up corrosion of reinforcing steel, so balcony, slab edge and column repairs are common.
- Recertification and milestone inspections apply to older buildings and condo towers.
- Flood zone. Most of the island is in a FEMA flood zone, so large renovations run into the 50 percent rule and new homes must be built higher.
- High-Velocity Hurricane Zone product approvals for every window and door.
