FAQ

Fort Lauderdale Commercial Construction Questions, Answered

Straight answers to what commercial tenants, property managers, and building owners ask us most about permitting, MEP coordination, and project delivery.

How does Planet Construction manage commercial permitting in Fort Lauderdale?

As a Florida Certified General Contractor (CGC1517295), we coordinate directly with the City of Fort Lauderdale Department of Sustainable Development (Building Services). We facilitate life safety, fire marshal reviews, MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) plan coordination, ADA accessibility compliance, and private provider expedited inspections to protect target commercial lease commencement dates.

What commercial building sectors do you service in Fort Lauderdale?

We build and renovate corporate headquarters in Downtown Fort Lauderdale, boutique retail and dining venues on Las Olas, healthcare suites in Cypress Creek, industrial flex facilities near Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE), and hospitality storefronts along the 17th Street Causeway corridor.

Can tenant improvement construction take place during active business hours?

Yes. For occupied multi-tenant commercial office buildings and operating shopping centers, our crews execute phased construction, evening shift work, and weekend mobilization. We install temporary negative-air dust containment, sound barriers, and strict security protection to prevent disruptions to adjoining businesses.

Do you perform structural alterations, MEP coordination, and load-bearing removals?

Yes. Our dual general contracting license allows us to engineer and execute major structural openings, steel I-beam installations, concrete block tie-beam recasting, heavy MEP rough-ins, commercial grease trap integrations, and dedicated commercial HVAC rooftop mechanical upgrades.

How quickly can you provide an itemized commercial construction estimate?

Upon receiving architectural plans or conducting an on-site feasibility walk, Planet Construction delivers a transparent, fully itemized commercial construction estimate within 3 to 5 business days, broken down by CSI trade divisions with fixed timeline milestones.
