New project, permitted properly from day one.
For new fences, pergolas, terraces, additions, windows, and accessory structures across Miami-Dade and Broward. We prepare the application, navigate plan review, coordinate engineering when required, and shepherd the permit through to final inspection. Most projects do not need to take three months to permit — but they do need someone who knows which municipality requires what.

Residential exterior and accessory structures.
Fences, gates, and walls
Standard, decorative, and security installations. We handle setback verification, height compliance, and HOA coordination where applicable. Permit timeline: typically 2–4 weeks municipality-dependent.
Pergolas and outdoor structures
Freestanding shade structures, gazebos, and arbors. Includes foundation letter, wind-load calculations (HVHZ), and engineered drawings for structures over the threshold size. Permit timeline: 4–8 weeks.
Terraces, decks, and patios
New construction or expansion. Includes structural detailing for raised decks. Permit timeline: 4–10 weeks depending on attachment and height.
Windows and doors (impact-rated)
Replacement and new openings. Florida Building Code product approval (NOA) verification required. Permit timeline: 2–6 weeks.
Sheds and accessory structures
Detached sheds, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and similar. Triggers zoning review on lot coverage and setbacks. Permit timeline: 6–12 weeks.
Small additions and enclosures
Limited-scope additions (porch enclosures, small bump-outs). Triggers full plan review including mechanical, electrical, and life-safety. Permit timeline: 10–20 weeks.
What we take off your plate, and what nobody can speed up.
| Step | What we handle |
|---|---|
| Application package | Forms, drawings, product approvals (NOA), fee schedule and zoning check, prepared for the municipality that issues your permit. |
| Engineering | Coordinated with licensed Florida engineers when the project needs signed and sealed documents. |
| Plan-review comments | We read the reviewer's corrections, prepare the response and resubmit. |
| Inspections | Scheduled at the right phase of the work. A specialist attends the final. |
| Close-out | We confirm the permit is finaled and send you the closed permit document. |
Plan-review time is set by the municipality. We do not control it, and nobody can shorten it for you. What we remove is the back-and-forth around it: incomplete submittals, unanswered comments and inspections booked at the wrong phase.
Every Miami-Dade municipality runs its own permitting process.
A pergola permit in Coral Gables is a different application — and a different review experience — than the same pergola in Kendall, Doral, or Miami Beach. Each municipality has its own application forms, plan-review checklists, fee schedules, inspector culture, and historical-overlay districts. A permit specialist who only knows City of Miami will lose weeks in Coral Gables. We work across all of them.
