Construction Services in Davie, FL
Full-scope residential construction in Davie, FL typically ranges from $45,000 for a focused kitchen or bathroom remodel to $180,000+ for a home addition or ADU build, with most projects permitting through Davie’s unique dual-agency system. Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida has served Davie since 2014, and we know the difference between pulling a standard Broward County permit and navigating Davie’s equestrian overlay requirements. Call us at (844) 665-0162 for a free estimate - we’re usually on-site in Davie within 24-48 hours.
Last spring we quoted a job off SW 130th Avenue, west of Flamingo Road, where the homeowner needed a new feed storage barn and couldn’t figure out why Broward County kept rejecting his structural permit. The issue wasn’t the build - it was the sequencing. Davie’s Planning and Zoning Division hadn’t signed off on equestrian use compatibility yet, a step that doesn’t exist in Cooper City or Miramar. We see this regularly. Davie’s active equestrian overlay zoning district means construction here involves a specialized dual-permitting process that out-of-town builders routinely mishandle. Whether you’re renovating a 1970s CBS ranch near Pine Island Ridge or adding an ADU off Stirling Road, you need a contractor who understands both sets of rules.

Why Davie Homeowners Choose Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida
We’ve worked in Davie long enough to know which 1960s ranch neighborhoods have original cast-iron plumbing that’ll surprise you mid-remodel, and which western parcels sit high enough on the coastal ridge to avoid the worst groundwater issues. That local knowledge saves our clients money and delays.
Homeowners in Shenandoah and Ivanhoe - two of Davie’s most established neighborhoods - call us back because we don’t hand projects off to trade-specific subcontractors who’ve never pulled a Davie permit. One contractor, every phase. Our team manages your project from demolition through final inspection, whether that’s a standard Broward County build or something requiring equestrian zoning coordination.
We’re state-licensed, insured & bonded, and we bring 50+ recognized industry brands to every project. You choose the brand, we handle the build. Our home page shows our full service map, but Davie remains one of our most requested markets because of the specialized construction needs here.
Construction Services We Offer in Davie
Kitchen Remodeling
We strip 1970s-era Davie kitchens down to the block and rebuild with your choice of KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria or Silestone countertops, and layouts that respect how South Florida families actually cook and gather. Most Davie kitchen projects run 6-10 weeks depending on structural surprises common in pre-1994 CBS construction. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Davie.
Bathroom Remodeling
Davie’s older homes often have original galvanized or cast-iron plumbing hidden behind tile walls - we plan for it, not around it. Our bathroom remodels include waterproofing systems rated for South Florida’s humidity load and material selections from our curated brand roster. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Davie.
Roofing
Many Davie homes built before Hurricane Andrew lack modern wind-mitigation features like reinforced roof-to-wall connections. We install GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral roofing systems - each with manufacturer-backed material warranties - and we upgrade connection hardware where code allows. Learn more about our Roofing in Davie.
Windows & Doors
Windows & Doors - Davie impact-rated openings aren’t optional anymore - they’re survival infrastructure. We source from Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, Jeld-Wen, Simonton, PGT, and CGI, covering everything from standard replacements to architectural-grade impact systems. Built to spec, not to convenience.
Fence Installation
Davie’s larger lots - especially equestrian-zoned parcels west of Flamingo Road - need Davie Fence Installation that handles both livestock containment and hurricane wind loads. We build with pressure-treated pine, aluminum, and vinyl systems from recognized manufacturers, permitted correctly for your zoning district.
Driveway & Pavers
Our hardscape work uses Belgard, Unilock, Tremron, and Techo-Bloc pavers on properly compacted bases with drainage planning for Davie’s unpredictable water table. From Driveway & Pavers in Davie replacements to pool decks off Stirling Road, we treat exterior surfaces with the same material rigor as interior finishes.
Home Additions & ADU
Expand what’s possible with our Home Additions & ADU in Davie. We offer traditional stick-built additions plus prefab options through Abodu, Dvele, Mighty Buildings, Boxabl, and Plant Prefab - modern, fast-track paths for adding square footage without the full custom timeline. Critical in Davie: additions in flood zones must meet elevated finished-floor requirements under federal and Broward County ordinances, a step we handle during design.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Davie
We maintain active project schedules across Davie’s most established residential areas. Response time for estimates in these neighborhoods typically runs 24-48 hours from your call.
- Shenandoah - 1960s-1970s CBS ranches, frequent kitchen and bath renovations
- Ivanhoe - older stock with original windows and doors ripe for impact-rated upgrades
- Pine Island Ridge - mixed-age housing with strong demand for roofing and exterior envelope work
- Western Davie equestrian parcels - barns, paddocks, feed storage, and agricultural outbuildings requiring dual-permit navigation
Why Davie’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Davie sits on the western edge of Broward County’s coastal ridge, transitioning toward the Everglades drainage basin. That geographic position produces a notably higher and less predictable water table than eastern Broward cities like Fort Lauderdale or Oakland Park. When we pour footings for a home addition near SW 130th Avenue, we routinely hit groundwater at shallow depths - sometimes within 18 inches of grade. This complicates everything from slab foundations to French drain systems and any below-grade construction. We’ve learned to specify engineered fill and elevated drainage strategies that eastern Broward builders rarely need.
The housing stock itself creates additional constraints. Much of Davie’s residential construction dates to the 1960s-1980s, concrete block and stucco ranch-style homes built before the post-Hurricane Andrew 1994 Florida Building Code overhaul. These structures often lack modern wind-mitigation features and contain original systems - plumbing, electrical, roofing - that don’t meet current standards. When a homeowner in Shenandoah pulls a permit for a kitchen expansion, the building department frequently flags adjacent systems for upgrade. We build that contingency into our proposals.
Several Davie zones also fall within FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas. New construction and substantial improvements must meet elevated finished-floor requirements. We’ve handled this process for multiple additions and ADU projects - it’s non-negotiable, and it’s not something you want to discover mid-project.

FAQs About Construction in Davie
Standard residential permits through Broward County typically process in 4-6 weeks, but Davie’s equestrian overlay projects require an additional 2-4 weeks for Planning and Zoning Division sign-off before structural permitting can begin. We sequence these applications to avoid delays. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll review your specific parcel’s requirements.
Yes, if you’re replacing existing openings or building new, current Florida Building Code requires impact-rated products or approved shutters in Broward County’s wind-borne debris region. We source from Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, Jeld-Wen, Simonton, PGT, and CGI to match your performance needs and budget. Call (844) 665-0162 for a window assessment.
ADUs are permitted in Davie subject to lot size, setback, and flood zone requirements - several areas fall under FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas with elevated finished-floor mandates. We offer both traditional stick-built and prefab paths through Plant Prefab, Abodu, Dvele, Mighty Buildings, and Boxabl. Call (844) 665-0162 to evaluate your lot’s buildable area.
Pre-1994 construction in Davie predates modern wind-mitigation, electrical, and plumbing codes. When you pull a permit for substantial work, the building department typically requires adjacent systems to meet current standards. We identify these triggers during our initial assessment so you’re not surprised mid-project. Call (844) 665-0162 for a pre-remodel inspection.
For roofs over 20 years old - common in 1960s-1980s Davie neighborhoods - replacement is usually more cost-effective than repeated repairs, especially when you factor in wind-mitigation insurance discounts from upgraded connections and impact-rated materials. We install GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral systems with manufacturer warranties. Call (844) 665-0162 for a roof condition report.
