Building on the water is a different job.
We specialize in it. Seawall assessments, dock permitting, elevated foundations, flood zone engineering, and materials built for salt air.
Waterfront Requires Specialized Expertise
Waterfront construction in Southwest Florida involves a layer of complexity that doesn't exist on inland lots — seawall assessments and replacement coordination, dock permitting through FDEP and the Army Corps of Engineers, elevated foundation requirements, flood zone engineering, and materials specified for salt-air and moisture resistance.
A builder who hasn't done this before will learn on your project. We've already done it.
Where We Build on the Water
We build on Gulf-access lots, canal-front properties, bay-front sites, and direct beach-adjacent parcels across Naples, Marco Island, Fort Myers Beach, Tampa Bay, and the coastal communities of Pinellas County. Every waterfront project starts with a full site assessment and a clear-eyed conversation about what the permit environment and physical conditions mean for your timeline and budget.
What's Included
Our waterfront scope covers site assessment including seawall condition, flood zone, setbacks, and dock potential. Army Corps and FDEP coordination for dock and seawall permits. Elevated foundation design and engineering. Hurricane-resilient structural systems with impact windows, roof-to-wall connections, and reinforced framing. Marine-grade material specification throughout. Pool, spa, and dock or boathouse integration. Flood zone compliance and elevation certificate coordination.
Marine-Grade Materials
Salt air corrodes standard building materials faster than most homeowners expect. We specify stainless steel fasteners, marine-grade aluminum for exterior applications, salt-resistant exterior finishes, and corrosion-resistant hardware on every waterfront build. These upgrades cost more upfront but prevent premature failure and costly repairs within the first decade.
