About us
Florida Home Build is a Miami general contractor that puts its terms in writing
Florida Home Build is a Miami general contractor for custom homes, turnkey renovation and commercial build-outs. Our office is in Aventura, and we build in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, in English, Spanish and Russian.
Prices, the maximum price and the four payments are on one page, and the warranty term has its own. We reply to a request within 24 hours.
How the company is set up:
- One contractor, one contract. A single general contractor signs your contract and answers for every trade on the job.
- Permanent subcontractors. A permanent group of trades, the same one from project to project.
- A project manager from the first visit. You meet the project manager before you sign. A superintendent runs the site and confirms the next steps with you every week.
- Three languages. The whole team speaks English, Spanish and Russian.
- A visit before any contract. We come to your lot, house, condo or commercial space first and walk through a line-by-line estimate with you.
- Terms in writing. Cost plus a fixed fee, a maximum price in the contract, four payments and a 3-year warranty with the exclusions listed.
One contractor
What your general contractor handles on a Miami build
A general contractor runs the build so you don't have to hire and coordinate every trade yourself. On our projects the permits, the subcontractors, the inspections and the budget sit with one company, and you talk to one project manager. Here is what that covers.
One project manager, one contractPermits, trades, inspections and the budget sit with one company.
- 01
Permits and inspections
City and county permits and local inspections are part of our work. Permitting usually takes 3–6 months on a new home.
- 02
Condo and association approvals
In a condo we prepare the association submissions and plan the work around the elevator and the building's work hours.
- 03
Subcontractors and bids
We work with a permanent group of subcontractors. A line-by-line estimate comes before the contract. After you sign, each subcontractor bid and each change shows up in the shared budget tracker.
- 04
Hurricane-zone rules
Miami-Dade and Broward are generally treated as the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone of the Florida Building Code. Homes in these two counties are designed and built to the HVHZ requirements, and permits and inspections follow them. Read about hurricane-resistant homes
- 05
Design and interior
Design usually takes 6–9 months on a new home, and plans and material selections stay tied to the budget and the price cap. Architect and designer fees sit outside the construction price. If we lead your interior design, the number of revision rounds and the procurement fee are written into the contract up front.

Projects
The projects Florida Home Build takes on
Projects start at $250,000, and commercial projects are priced individually. We build five kinds of project, and each has a page of its own with the prices, the steps and the questions people ask.
A new home on your lot
From a lot with finished plans or with none, through permits and construction to the certificate of occupancy. Design and permits come first, and the schedule is an estimate, not a promise. See custom home building in Miami.
A house renovated down to the studs
A whole-house remodel with permits and inspections handled by one company and a schedule that is counted from the day permits are issued and materials arrive. See home renovation in Miami.
A condo unit
We prepare the association submission and plan the work around the elevator and the building's work hours. See condo renovation in Miami.
A home on the water
A waterfront or island home in a wind and flood zone, with seawalls and docks built as part of a turnkey project and priced after we see the site. See waterfront construction in Miami.
An office, a shop or a restaurant
Commercial build-outs for offices, retail and restaurants, priced by project. We handle permits and inspections up to the certificate of occupancy. See commercial general contractor work in Miami.
Your money
How a Miami home build works when you're not paying ahead
4 payments, not a big deposit
At signing, at the start of work, at the midpoint and at about 99% completion. Each payment is for a stage you have approved.
A price cap in the contract
Cost plus a fixed fee, with a maximum price. Savings stay with you. Anything above the cap is paid by the builder.
Every bid and invoice in view
A shared budget tracker shows each subcontractor bid, each change and each invoice.
One contractor, one contract
The same permanent subcontractors on every job, and one company answering for all of them.
3-year warranty, exclusions in writing
The warranty term is a number in your contract, and so is the list of what it does not cover.
An answer in under 24 hours
By phone, WhatsApp, text or email, in English, Spanish or Russian.
