HIGH-VELOCITY HURRICANE ZONE (HVHZ) COMPLIANCE
Engineered Impact Glazing Systems for South Florida Coastal Properties
South Florida's coastal corridor demands the most stringent fenestration standards in the United States. In Broward and Miami-Dade High-Velocity Hurricane Zones, windows and doors must withstand 165+ MPH sustained wind loads and large missile impacts.
Planet Construction provides turnkey impact window and sliding glass door replacements for condominiums, commercial buildings, and luxury estates. We install heavy-gauge extruded aluminum and reinforced vinyl frames paired with laminated impact glass, delivering superior security, noise reduction, and insurance wind-mitigation credits.
Under our Florida Certified General Contractor (CGC1517295) license, our in-house crews manage structural bucking, concrete opening remediation, NOA engineering calculations, and municipal building department inspection sign-offs.

Why Hiring a Single-Source General Contractor Saves Projects
Installing impact windows in existing concrete buildings requires precision carpentry, masonry anchoring, structural bucking, and perimeter waterproofing. Subcontracting trades leads to air leaks and failed inspections.
THE TRADITIONAL MODEL
Disjointed Subcontracting
Independent window sales companies often hire untrained piece-rate installers who skip structural bucking inspections, neglect waterproof sealant depths, and fail municipal inspections, leaving openings vulnerable.
Critical Risk: Multi-vendor disputes, finger-pointing over leaks or failures, and voided manufacturer warranties.
★ SINGLE-SOURCE GC CONTROL
THE PLANET CONSTRUCTION STANDARD

Guaranteed Result: One binding contract, dedicated in-house crews, zero middleman markups, and total warranty accountability.
MUNICIPAL RAPIDITY
Accelerated Permit Milestones
We pull permits directly across Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Hollywood, Boca Raton, and Weston building departments. We coordinate engineering special inspections daily to prevent costly stop-work delays.
Turnkey Efficiency: Faster city sign-offs, reduced disruption, and full Florida Building Code certification.
