New Construction Homes
and Additions in
Miami-Dade and Broward

There is no single number, and any contractor who gives you one before seeing your lot is guessing. Cost is driven by the parcel itself — soil, elevation, flood zone, impact fees, and utility connections — along with the size of the house, the structural system, and the finish level. On an open-book contract you see those costs as they are bid rather than buried inside a lump sum. A lot assessment is the fastest way to get a real range for your property.

You pay the actual cost of the work — every subcontractor bid, material invoice, and draw — plus one fee that is fixed at the start of the project. The fee does not rise if costs rise, and it does not fall if they fall. Because it is set independently of the total, there is no financial reason for the contractor to inflate scope or hide a markup.

For a new single-family home, plan review generally runs several months from first submittal, and the timeline depends heavily on the municipality, the completeness of the drawings, and how many review cycles the plans go through. Cities within the county set their own review queues, so Miami, Hialeah, and unincorporated Miami-Dade do not move at the same speed, and Broward is a separate jurisdiction with its own timeline. We build the permit period into the schedule rather than treating it as a delay.

No. If you already have permit-ready drawings we can price them directly. If you do not, we coordinate the architect and engineers as part of a Design Contract, so the drawings are produced with construction cost in view rather than priced after the fact. If you are not yet sure what the lot can support, the Conceptual Phase comes first.

That depends on the zoning district, lot size, setbacks, parking requirements, and in many municipalities on recent changes to what is allowed on infill lots. Two lots on the same street can carry different rights. A zoning and site review answers the question in writing before you spend anything on design.

Additions are priced by what they touch, not only by square footage. A second-story addition may require structural reinforcement of the existing house and a roof rebuild; a ground-floor addition may trigger drainage, utility, or code upgrades to the existing structure. We price additions on the same open-book basis as new construction, starting from a site visit and your existing drawings if you have them.

In design-bid-build you hire an architect, complete the drawings, then send them out to contractors for pricing — so you find out what it costs at the end. In design-build, one team carries design and construction, and cost is tested while the drawings are still being made. Our Design Then Build process is design-build: we coordinate the drawings, then price the construction before the Construction Contract is signed.

Yes. We build across Miami-Dade and Broward County, including the City of Miami, Coral Gables, Hialeah, Miami Gardens, Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, Pembroke Pines, and the surrounding municipalities. We permit in these jurisdictions regularly, which matters more than it sounds — review requirements and inspection practice vary city to city.
