LOCAL MARKET

Tenant improvement electrical across South Florida

South Florida’s commercial market spans Miami-Dade, Broward and southern Palm Beach counties, with high-rise office in Brickell and Downtown, hospitality on the beaches and industrial and logistics space around the airport.

The climate matters for electrical work. Salt air and humidity are hard on exterior equipment, and storm season affects schedules and raises questions about standby power and how equipment is protected.

Permitting is split between cities and counties, and the rules differ between Miami-Dade and Broward. We confirm the jurisdiction for each address before pricing.

LOCAL PLANNING

What we plan around in South Florida

The local factors that decide whether a build-out here opens on the date it was promised.
01

Confirm city or county

South Florida addresses may fall under a city or under the county. We confirm before filing.
02

Specify for the coast

Exterior disconnects, fixtures and enclosures are selected for salt air and humidity.

Plan around hurricane season

Exterior work and deliveries are scheduled with storm season in mind, and sites are secured when storms approach.

Coordinate hospitality phasing

Hotel and resort work is phased so guest areas stay open during construction.
PERMITS AND CODE

Permits, code and utilities in South Florida

Florida adopts the National Electrical Code through the Florida Building Code, which is enforced by local building departments. Incorporated cities run their own permit offices, while unincorporated areas are handled by the county.

Florida Power & Light serves most of South Florida. Service changes and new meters go through the utility, and we start that process as early as possible.

Exterior equipment must be selected and installed for the coastal environment. We specify enclosures and mounting suited to salt air and storm exposure.
