Florida has its fair share of unavoidable construction delays. But poor project management could lead to additional permitting issues, too. You don’t have to take that chance. Here’s why working with Farrar Construction is an ideal choice for keeping your project moving and cutting through the red tape.
We Know When Permits are Required
Specific permits required (and the application process) for Florida construction vary by local jurisdiction. We have an in-depth knowledge of codes, permits, and application requirements, and will work with your city or county’s building department regulations to get what you need. Some examples of Florida construction projects requiring permits include:
- Demolition: Removing or demolishing a building or structure requires a permit.
- Impact Resistant Coverings: Installing new impact-resistant coverings on buildings, or replacing existing ones, can’t be done without a permit.
- New Construction: Permits are required when building completely new structures, additions, or auxiliary buildings (carports, sheds, etc)..
- Structural Changes: Any work that alters the existing structure of a building requires permits from the city.
- System Upgrades: Permits are needed for repairs to or installations of electrical, mechanical, or plumbing systems. System upgrades also include swimming pools and solar panels.
In some cases, Florida municipalities require permits for minor repairs and replacements, even though they don’t alter the building’s structure or systems. The temporary shelters set up for crews may also require separate applications and permits.
