Multi-Unit Construction Done Right the First Time
Multi-unit property construction in Fort Lauderdale is a specialized practice where development vision meets the regulatory complexity of Florida's condominium, multi-family, and mixed-use construction environment. Fort Lauderdale's real estate market continues to attract significant multi-unit development interest — from boutique condominium projects to apartment communities and mixed-use urban infill — and developers who want to build in Broward County need a general contractor with the capacity, license, and local market knowledge to execute at this scale. At Planet Construction FL, we provide general contracting services for multi-unit residential and mixed-use construction projects throughout Fort Lauderdale.

Commercial Risk Reality • Liability Exposure
Multi-Unit Projects Punish Inexperienced Contractors
Multi-unit construction is where weak contractors fall apart. Coordinating finishes across dozens of units, scheduling trades around occupied apartments, handling change orders without losing margin, hitting milestone dates that affect everyone — it requires a level of project management most general contractors don't have. The result is delays, complaints, and budgets that triple before the job is done.

Regulatory Code Standards • FBC & ADA Compliance
Condo & Apartment Construction in Fort Lauderdale
Condominium construction in Fort Lauderdale involves Florida's specific regulatory environment for condominium development — including Florida Statute Chapter 718 compliance, construction defect warranty obligations, and the SB 4-D milestone inspection requirements that apply to new condominium construction as well as aging buildings. Apartment construction — market-rate or workforce — involves different regulatory frameworks but similar construction complexity, particularly for concrete-frame multi-story projects that are the dominant construction type in Fort Lauderdale's urban residential market. Planet Construction FL brings experience in both project types, with the understanding of concrete-frame construction, post-tension slab systems, and the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing coordination that multi-story residential construction in South Florida's climate requires.

THE DUAL-LICENSE DIFFERENCE
Why Hiring a Single-Source General Contractor Saves Projects
Commercial renovations intersect with electrical, mechanical, drywall, and municipal inspections. Dividing trades across brokers causes delays, finger-pointing, and inspection failures.
THE TRADITIONAL MODEL
Disjointed Subcontracting
Hiring separate framing crews, electricians, and finish painters leaves no single party accountable for schedule, safety, or final city inspection sign-offs.
Critical Risk: Multiple markups, inspection stop-work orders, and finger-pointing over punch-list defects.
★ SINGLE-SOURCE GC CONTROL
THE PLANET CONSTRUCTION STANDARD
Unified General Contractor Control
John Kraja directly manages every commercial project phase under dual state licenses (CGC1517295 & CCC1329271). In-house supervision, fast municipal turnaround, and complete trade accountability.
Guaranteed Result: One contract, dedicated site superintendents, zero middleman broker fees, and full warranty protection.
MUNICIPAL RAPIDITY
Accelerated Permit Milestones
We pull commercial master permits directly across Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Hollywood, Boca Raton, and Miami-Dade. Daily inspection scheduling ensures rapid Certificate of Occupancy.
Turnkey Efficiency: Faster tenant occupancy, reduced business downtime, and full Florida Building Code certification.

Weekly owner progress meetings with updated schedule and budget reporting. Monthly cost reports showing actual versus budget for each construction division. Proactive schedule management — identifying float erosion and implementing schedule recovery actions before delays accumulate. Daily field supervision by a dedicated project superintendent. Change order management with written documentation of every scope change and its cost and schedule impact before the work is performed.

Direct answers regarding project schedules, building permits, off-hours execution, and Florida Building Code standards.
What size multi-unit projects does Planet Construction FL handle?
We handle multi-unit projects from boutique developments of 8–20 units through larger community-scale projects. Our project management capacity and subcontractor relationships support projects at a range of scales, and we discuss the appropriate project size fit during the initial consultation. For very large development projects — 200+ unit communities — we discuss the project's specific requirements and our capacity before engaging.
Do you work with development teams that already have an architect?
Yes — the large majority of our multi-unit projects involve working alongside an architect and engineering team that the developer has already engaged. Our role is general contractor — executing the design through construction — not architect. We integrate into the existing development team, participate in design and coordination meetings as the construction representative, and provide construction-phase services that complement the design team's role.
How are construction costs managed for multi-unit development?
We develop a detailed construction budget at the preconstruction stage based on the design documents available at that time, with appropriate contingency for design development and market conditions. As the design is refined, we update the budget at each design milestone — schematic, design development, and construction documents. During construction, we track costs against the budget weekly and report variances proactively. Change orders are documented and approved before the associated work is performed.
What are the permit requirements for multi-unit construction in Fort Lauderdale?
Multi-unit construction in Fort Lauderdale requires a comprehensive permit package including building, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire suppression permits. Development approval — zoning, site plan approval, and for condominium projects, DBPR condominium developer registration — precedes the building permit application. Planet Construction FL coordinates with the development team's attorney and expediter on development approvals and manages the construction permit package from application through final inspection and certificate of occupancy.
