Design Build Florida

ADU construction documents and permitting. We produce the complete site-specific package that turns a Florida pre-approved ADU unit into a building permit — quickly and completely.

Florida CGC

Florida ADU Legislation — SB 48 & HB 313

Both bills died in the 2026 session. ADU permitting continues under existing local zoning rules. The construction document package requirement is unchanged. Full update →

The permitting gap

A Florida state pre-approved ADU unit still requires a complete site-specific construction document package before any local jurisdiction will issue a building permit. That is the gap Design Build Florida fills.
