Ask a Question
What makes new construction in Miami different from other states?

Miami-Dade County is in a High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), which requires stricter building codes — including impact-resistant windows and doors, reinforced concrete block construction, and specific roofing systems. Active Builders is fully versed in all HVHZ requirements.

How long does new home construction take in Miami?

A new custom home in Miami typically takes 12–18 months from permit approval to Certificate of Occupancy. Commercial projects vary by size. We provide detailed project schedules during the pre-construction phase.

Do you work with architects and engineers?

Yes. We coordinate with architects, structural engineers, MEP engineers, and surveyors throughout the construction process. We can also refer you to trusted professionals if needed.

Can you build on a vacant lot I already own?

Absolutely. We start with a site assessment, zoning verification, and utility survey. We then coordinate the design, permitting, and full construction through Certificate of Occupancy.
