Remodeling in Miami

Miami is not one construction condition, and the first useful thing we do is work out which one you are in.

Miami

What approval looks like here

Work inside the City of Miami is permitted through the city, but what actually governs your project depends on where it sits. A unit in a tower answers to the building's association before it answers to anyone at the city. A house in a residential neighbourhood answers to zoning and to whatever was built without a permit by a previous owner. A storefront answers to the landlord and to an opening date. We identify which of those is the real constraint before we price the job, because pricing the wrong one is how a schedule slips in month two.

What we work on

Mostly everything at once — towers, houses and storefronts

  • High-rise condominium units across the city
  • Single-family homes in established neighbourhoods
  • Commercial and retail interiors

Questions we get asked here

  • Do I need a permit to remodel a condo in Miami?

    Most work that moves plumbing, electrical or walls does. Purely cosmetic finishes usually do not. Either way, the building's own approval is a separate process and often takes longer than the city's.

  • What if previous work at the property was done without a permit?

    It surfaces when we pull the property records. Sometimes it has to be resolved before new work is approved. We check during pre-construction, which is much cheaper than finding out after demolition.

  • How long does approval take in the City of Miami?

    It depends on the scope and on whether the drawings answer the reviewer's questions the first time. We plan the submittal to reduce comment cycles rather than promise a date we do not control.

  • Can you work in a building that is occupied?

    Yes. Most of our Miami work happens in buildings where the neighbours never moved out, which is a matter of protection, hours and dust control more than of construction.
