Build With Confidence, From the Ground Up

Ground-Up Construction

BDL of Florida, Inc. specializes in ground-up construction for quick-service restaurants, retail spaces, medical facilities, and custom commercial projects across Florida. Our process begins with disciplined pre-construction planning and continues through to the final walk-through — ensuring projects are delivered on time, on budget, and built to code.

Clients trust us because we keep scopes clear, minimize change orders, and respond quickly in the field.

Our Construction Process

Every project at BDL follows a proven process designed to keep schedules tight, communication clear, and results consistent. With licensed oversight, disciplined planning, and responsive leadership, we deliver projects that meet our clients’ expectations — from dirt to delivery.

Pre-Construction & Planning

We begin with disciplined planning: clear scopes, transparent pricing, and realistic schedules. Our team coordinates licensing, permits, and pre-construction meetings to ensure alignment before breaking ground.

Site Preparation & Foundations

Depending on scope, we adapt our process for curb-out or curb-in site prep — leveraging our in-house subsidiaries to deliver efficient excavation, grading, and utilities installation. This ensures every project starts with a solid base and stays aligned with timelines.

Vertical Build & Systems

From structure to MEP, our crews and subcontractors are closely supervised. Regular team meetings and daily check-ins keep communication open and progress on track. Using our construction management technology, we also provide clients with photo updates throughout the process — so they can see their project taking shape in real time.

Finishes, Walkthrough & Beyond

We close strong, with thorough inspections, punch-list completion, and client walkthroughs. Our leadership remains hands-on through turnover — and continues with 11-month quality check-ins to ensure lasting performance and client satisfaction.

Frequently asked questions

Have questions about working with BDL? You’re not alone. We’ve put together answers to some of the most common questions our clients ask about our process, timelines, and what to expect when partnering with us.

What types of ground-up projects do you handle?
We specialize in quick-service restaurants, but we also deliver retail, medical, and select residential projects. Whether it’s a single build or part of a regional rollout, we bring the same discipline and reliability to every project.
Do you assist with permitting and compliance?
Yes. Our team coordinates all necessary permits, zoning compliance, and inspections, so your project meets code requirements and stays on schedule.
How do you estimate the timeline and cost?
We combine the latest construction management technology with data from historic project costs across a wide range of builds. This allows us to create realistic schedules and accurate budgets from the start, so there are fewer surprises along the way.
What happens if issues or delays arise?
Acts of God, delayed materials, and other challenges are an inevitable part of construction. Our job is to take that stress off you by responding quickly, adjusting schedules, and keeping your project moving with as little disruption as possible.
Do you coordinate with architects or third-party designers?
Yes. We frequently collaborate with architects, engineers, and designers, ensuring alignment between all parties and a smooth process from planning to completion.
How do you keep projects on budget?
Our experienced estimators set the project up for success from the start through detailed pre-planning, purchase orders, and cost-effective sourcing of materials. We also provide transparent pricing and minimize change orders so you always know where you stand.
How do you ensure safety on the job site?
All of our superintendents are OSHA-certified, and we hold every crew accountable for maintaining incident-free environments and the highest safety standards.
What happens after project completion?
We don’t disappear after turnover. In addition to client walkthroughs and punch-list completion, we provide 11-month quality check-ins to make sure your project continues to perform long after it’s complete.
