We start out by becoming familiar with your project and develop a general scope of work be accomplished. This will include an evaluation of the site, existing conditions, elevation requirements, set back requirements, any environmental impacts (trees and vegetation) and protected species assessment requirements that may be necessary. This may also include FEMA 50% rule restrictions, and any (CCCL) coastal construction control line, or (SGBSL) Sarasota County Gulf Beach Setback Line limitations.

Once project feasibility is determined, we can then advance to the pre-construction phase.

With the completion of due diligence, we can establish a scope of work, and a (ROM) or rough order of magnitude estimate to create a starting point for the budget. If the ROM is within the limits of your expectations and other elements align, such as fee agreements, schedules and compatibility, we would move to pre-construction services.

At that point, we begin the design phase, where we will develop preliminary plans. It is during this process we create construction plans.  This is the phase at which you see your vision on a set of drawings. 

Upon completion of the construction plans, we would solicit pricing from select sub-contractors and vendors in order to cost the project more definitively. Once all pricing and leveling is completed, we would have a current costing of the job. At this stage, we balance the pricing to the budget parameters.

Once we are in agreement with scope, pricing, fees and the anticipated schedule we would move to the construction phase.

The construction phase will consist of applying for all local and state permits required for the project.

Permitting may consist of multiple agencies, and departments within.

Once all permits are issued, work would begin.

Note: Most large-scale projects seaward of the CCCL are multi phased and permits authorizing work on the dunes are time restrictive, i.e. Sarasota County Sea Turtle nesting season is from May 1st thru November 1st each year, in which no work is authorized on the beach dunes.
