We signed the lease in March and were serving customers in June. LNB walked the space with our drawings before we committed and told us exactly what the landlord's work letter did not cover.

Commercial General Contractor In Miami
A commercial general contractor in Miami is building to the strictest code in the country. A national prototype spec does not simply drop into the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and finding that out late is expensive.
- Licensed Texas General Contractor
- Bonded & Insured
- Workers’ Comp Carried
- BBB Accredited A+
- NARI Member
- On Site In All 50 States
- Escrow Services Available
Miami is the most technically demanding market on this list, and the reason is the building code. Miami-Dade sits in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which imposes product approval and testing requirements on exterior components that exist almost nowhere else in the country.
A national prototype specification will not simply drop into a Miami build. LNB Construction handles build-outs and tenant improvements across Miami-Dade and Broward.

In MiamiWhat's Specific About Building In Miami
High Velocity Hurricane Zone.
Miami-Dade and Broward operate under HVHZ provisions of the Florida Building Code. Exterior components, including storefront systems, doors, glazing, rooftop equipment attachment and signage, require Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or Florida Product Approval and specific attachment detailing. A franchisor's standard storefront package from another state frequently is not approved here, and finding that out at plan review costs weeks and money.
Rooftop equipment attachment.
HVAC units, exhaust fans and hood ductwork all need engineered attachment for wind uplift. Not a detail to leave to the mechanical sub.
Many jurisdictions, one county.
Miami, Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Hialeah, Doral, Aventura, Homestead and unincorporated Miami-Dade each run their own review, and Coral Gables and Miami Beach add design and historic review on top.
Corrosion and humidity.
Coastal exposure affects material selection for anything exterior or in an unconditioned space. Standard-grade fasteners and finishes do not last here.
Bilingual trade base.
Practically, most Miami crews work in Spanish. Documentation, safety briefings and daily coordination need to work in both languages, and that is a competence rather than an afterthought.
From Empty Shell To Open Doors
Drag any handle. On the left, a space in the condition a landlord hands it over in. On the right, an interior a business can trade out of. These are the kinds of build-out Miami buys most.

What Owners Say Afterwards
The part that matters is not the bid. It is whether the space opened when they said it would.
Our lender wanted G702s and a schedule of values, not a lump sum. LNB billed the way the bank expected from the first draw, so nothing stalled in underwriting.
Dev Ramaswamy
Franchisee · Fitness Franchise
Four units in three states and every one of them looks like the prototype. That is the part I could never get from hiring a different contractor in each market.
Alicia Brenner
Director of Development · Multi-Site Retail Brand
One superintendent, one number to call, weekly progress against the schedule. We were paying rent on a dark store and they knew it.
Tomasz Kowal
Managing Partner · Retail Group
The permit run in our jurisdiction is where these projects usually die. They tracked it and told us where it sat every week instead of going quiet.

Miami FAQ
Do you understand HVHZ requirements?
Yes. Product approval, Notice of Acceptance documentation, and engineered attachment for exterior components and rooftop equipment.
Will my franchisor's standard storefront work in Miami?
Often not without modification. HVHZ product approval is specific, and this is one of the most common cost surprises for national brands entering South Florida. We check before pricing.
Do you work in Coral Gables and Miami Beach?
Yes, including the additional design and historic review those cities require.
Do you cover Broward as well as Miami-Dade?
Yes. Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pembroke Pines and Weston.
