SOUTH FLORIDA CUSTOM RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION
High-End Residential Building & Structural Remodeling
Building and renovating homes in South Florida demands specialized expertise in coastal building codes, hurricane wind-load engineering, flood elevations, and luxury architectural detailing.
Planet Construction brings commercial-grade structural rigor and master craftsmanship to luxury residential projects across Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade counties. Whether completing custom estate additions, structural load-bearing wall removals, or whole-home renovations, we build for beauty and multi-decade longevity.
Under the personal direction of Qualifying Contractor John Kraja (CGC1517295 & CCC1329271), our clients enjoy transparent pricing, direct contractor communication, zero subcontractor delays, and unmatched attention to structural and architectural detail.

Why Hiring a Single-Source General Contractor Saves Projects
Home remodeling frequently uncovers structural surprises, aging plumbing, or unpermitted framing. Hiring disconnected trades leads to ballooning budgets and missed deadlines.
THE TRADITIONAL MODEL
Disjointed Subcontracting
Design-only builders and broker contractors subcontract every phase to third parties, adding excessive markups and leaving homeowners with zero single-source accountability.
Critical Risk: Multi-vendor disputes, finger-pointing over leaks or failures, and voided manufacturer warranties.
★ SINGLE-SOURCE GC CONTROL
THE PLANET CONSTRUCTION STANDARD
Unified General Contractor Control
Planet Construction operates with dedicated in-house crews under CGC1517295. John personally inspects every phase from foundation to finishes, ensuring pristine execution and transparent timelines.
Guaranteed Result: One binding contract, dedicated in-house crews, zero middleman markups, and total warranty accountability.

Transparent answers on engineering protocols, material specifications, project timelines, and Florida Building Code compliance.

We install zippered poly barriers, floor protection runners, and commercial negative-air HEPA scrubbers to protect unworked zones.
