Starting construction in Florida without proper legal and technical preparation can expose you to fines, stop-work orders, or even forced demolition. With strict codes across Florida’s Gulf Coast counties, zoning, accessibility, energy efficiency, and safety must be thoroughly addressed before breaking ground.
At Claros Drafting & Design, we’ve compiled a critical checklist to help you ensure compliance and avoid costly mistakes:
✅ Verify lot zoning and permitted land use
✅ Analyze local codes and specific county requirements
✅ Prepare full technical construction documents: architectural, MEP, and structural
✅ Create a site plan if applicable
✅ Manage building permit applications
✅ Support “By Owner” permitting processes
✅ Provide realistic 3D renderings for design clarity
✅ Assist with After the Fact legalization for existing unpermitted work
Skipping permitting steps can cost thousands in penalties — or halt your entire project.
Our team doesn’t just draft — we guide. From small residential builds to commercial renovations, we ensure your project is set up to succeed, legally and technically, from day one.
