Commercial Construction Contractor in Fort Lauderdale, FL
In commercial construction, delays cost money, mistakes cost clients, and a contractor who doesn't know Broward County's permitting process costs you both. Planet Construction is Fort Lauderdale's licensed commercial contractor for office build-outs, retail renovations, restaurant construction, multi-unit development, and large-scale restoration projects. We manage the timeline, the subcontractors, the permits, and the quality — so you can focus on your business.
Your Commercial Space Either Works for Your Business — or Against It
A dated layout restricts workflow, while a tired facade signals the wrong message before clients walk in. In South Florida's competitive commercial market, construction delays or compliance oversights directly withhold your Certificate of Occupancy and halt revenue.
Schedule Slippage & Delayed Occupancy
Uncoordinated sub-trades push opening dates back weeks. We run critical-path project management to guarantee milestones and safeguard revenue.
Broward County & ADA Inspection Pitfalls
Local inspectors enforce zero tolerance on egress door widths, slopes, and life safety. We pre-audit every detail at schematic phase to avoid stop-work orders.
The Commercial Execution Gap
Residential builders taking commercial jobs often lack commercial trade networks and AIA billing. Planet Construction is purpose-built for commercial GC delivery.

How Our Commercial Construction Process Works
A disciplined 4-stage delivery model that ensures budget certainty, fast permitting, and turnkey closeouts.
We review your project scope, your timeline, your business constraints, and your budget. We'll be direct about what's realistic and what the project actually requires — no overselling, no underselling.
We work with your architect or designer (or recommend one), finalize the construction documents, and submit for permits. We manage the permit process so you don't have to.
Our project manager runs the daily operation — trade scheduling, quality control, inspections, and communication. You receive regular updates and have a single point of contact for the duration of the project.
We walk through the completed project with you, address every punch list item before closeout, pass all required inspections, and hand you a completed, code-compliant commercial space ready for business.
Recent Commercial Projects in Fort Lauderdale
What Property Owners & Managers Say
“Planet Construction built out our entire office — demo, framing, electrical, HVAC, finishes. Project manager was on-site every day and communicated every step. We opened two weeks ahead of schedule. That never happens in commercial construction.”
“Our restaurant build-out involved a complex commercial kitchen, outdoor bar, and health department compliance. Planet Construction navigated every inspection without a single re-inspection. On budget, on time. I'd work with them again.”
“We hired Planet Construction for our building's facade renovation. They managed everything — stucco, painting, window caulking, pressure washing — and the building looks like a completely different property. Tenant retention improved. Leasing inquiries picked up. Real business impact.”
What types of commercial projects does Planet Construction handle?
We handle office build-outs, retail store renovations, restaurant and hospitality construction, medical and dental facilities, warehouse conversions, multi-unit residential capital improvements, commercial bathroom renovations, ADA compliance upgrades, and commercial facade restorations.
How do you handle commercial permits in Fort Lauderdale?
We manage the entire permitting process — from pre-application meetings to final inspection and closeout. Our team is familiar with Broward County and municipal building departments, ensuring construction drawings meet local commercial codes, fire marshal requirements, and zoning regulations.
Can you work while our business stays open?
In most cases, yes — with proper planning. We sequence work to minimize disruption to your operations, schedule noisy or invasive work outside business hours when necessary, and maintain safe, clean work zones that meet OSHA standards. We discuss operational constraints at the proposal stage and build them into the project schedule.
Do you handle design as well as construction?
We can coordinate the full design-build process, working with our network of licensed architects and designers, or we can work with your existing design team. Many commercial clients find it easier to work with a contractor who manages both design coordination and construction under one point of accountability.
What is a TI (Tenant Improvement) build-out, and do you handle it?
Tenant improvement build-outs are interior renovations to a commercial leased space, typically done before a new tenant occupies the unit. They can range from basic cosmetic updates to full gut-and-rebuild construction. We specialize in TI build-outs and understand the dynamics of working with both the landlord and the tenant to deliver a space that works for the business and meets the lease terms.
What is your commercial project minimum?
We take on commercial projects of all sizes — from small single-office build-outs to large multi-floor renovations. Contact us with your scope and we'll discuss whether it's a fit and what the process looks like.
