WHY A GENERAL CONTRACTOR
A custom build is only as good as its accountability.
Custom homes involve dozens of decisions and trades over many months. Cmax GC keeps it under one license and one open-book contract, so nothing falls through the cracks between architect, engineer, and subcontractor.
Full Permits & Inspections
Every phase engineered, permitted, and inspected to Florida Building Code.
One Team, Start to Finish
Site work, structure, and finishes coordinated by one accountable contractor.
Quality Control at Every Phase
Milestone inspections documented and shared with you throughout the build.

FROM LOT TO LANDMARK
