Commercial construction · South Florida Built for business. Planned for people.

The commercial scope includes tenant improvements and build-outs, general contracting, pre-construction planning, building-envelope repairs, concrete and structural work, and storefronts. Discuss the property and proposed work with either office so the team can confirm fit and availability.

Confirm responsibility for permit applications, drawings, engineering and inspection coordination in the written agreement. Requirements and review times depend on the address, intended use and scope; a target start date should account for required approvals.

The estimate depends on measured scope, existing conditions, product selections, access, occupancy constraints and required approvals. Ask which allowances and exclusions are included, which dates depend on outside decisions and how changes will be authorized.

The earlier Perkins commercial page discusses office, retail, hospitality, industrial, healthcare, education and mixed-use projects. These are starting points for a fit conversation, not a blanket qualification for every project. Confirm sector-specific licensing, design expertise and approvals for your exact use.

Discuss maintenance, service life, exposure and operating requirements when comparing systems. Energy or sustainability goals should be translated into project-specific selections and documentation. No energy savings, certification or performance outcome should be assumed without supporting specifications.

Perkins serves Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie and Monroe counties through its Miami and Jupiter offices. Provide the property location and scope to confirm the appropriate office and project availability.

Bring the property location and use, a short scope description, current plans or reports, occupancy details, preferred timing and budget expectations. Identify the owner or association decision-maker and any landlord requirements. Only take condition photos from a safe, accessible location.
