Built on results
Anyone can show you a finished photo. What decides whether a South Florida project goes well is the unglamorous part — code, product approvals, inspection sequencing, and whether someone picks up the phone in week nine.
Elbaz Construction is a licensed, bonded and insured general contractor. We pull the permits in our own name, verify every product against its Notice of Acceptance before it is ordered, and keep one person accountable from the first walkthrough to final inspection.

Timelines vary by scope and jurisdiction. We tell you which stage is likely to be the long one on your project before you sign anything.
We walk the property, talk through what you actually want to change, and give you an honest read on scope and budget before anyone quotes a number.
Week 1We check what governs the project: flood zone, HVHZ requirements, existing permit history, HOA or historic district review, and what is behind the walls.
Week 1–2Layouts, finishes and system choices worked through together — with the real trade-offs explained rather than one pre-set package.
Week 2–5A written scope that says what is included, what is not, and where contingencies are likely. Priced against the drawings, not a guess.
Week 5–6We pull permits directly with your building department and confirm every specified product carries its Notice of Acceptance or Florida Product Approval.
Week 6–12Sequenced work with one point of contact, scheduled inspections at each required stage, and a site that gets cleaned at the end of the day.
VariesWe walk the work against the scope before we call it finished, and correct anything that does not match before final inspection.
Final 1–2 weeksFinal building department inspection, a walkthrough together, and registration of any applicable manufacturer and workmanship warranties.
CloseoutFlexible financing
A renovation shouldn’t have to wait for the perfect moment. Elbaz Construction works with four lenders — Service Finance, Synchrony, Ygrene and Renew Financial — so you can find out what you qualify for before you commit to a scope, and let the budget shape the design rather than cut it back halfway through.
Financing lets you build the thing properly the first time — the right materials and the right scope — instead of value-engineering it down and paying to redo it in five years.Check If You Qualify

Why Elbaz
South Florida asks things of a building that most of the country never does. A contractor who mainly works elsewhere can genuinely not know them.
Miami-Dade and Broward sit inside the HVHZ, where design wind speeds reach up to 175 mph and every relevant product needs a Notice of Acceptance. Palm Beach follows Wind-Borne Debris Region rules.
Each county runs its own portal, review timeline and inspection sequence. Knowing which one you are in changes how a schedule should be built.
Corrosion-resistant fasteners, moisture management behind tile and stucco, and finishes chosen to survive humidity rather than photograph well once.
Association and architectural review can add weeks. We identify what applies during the first site visit, not after materials are ordered.
One contract, start to finish
Most renovation disasters are not build failures. They are handoff failures — the designer, the contractor and the trades each did their bit correctly, and nobody owned the seams between them. Design-build removes the seams.
A drawing set produced without a builder pricing it finds out what it costs at permitting, which is the most expensive possible moment. Ours gets costed as it is drawn, so the trade-offs happen while they are still cheap to make.
Framing opens up a surprise, a product is discontinued, an inspector wants a revision. With split contracts that becomes a negotiation between two companies. Here it is one conversation, and the schedule gets re-cut the same week.
Drawings are produced by people who submit into Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach every week and know what each reviewer sends back. Fewer revision cycles is usually worth more calendar time than anything that happens on site.
Design-build is not a way to avoid a professional seal. For structural changes, additions and ground-up work we coordinate a licensed architect or engineer of record directly — you are just not the one managing them.
FAQs about our services
Still unsure about something? Call (754) 236-0675 — you will get a real answer, not a callback form.
It depends on scope, and permitting is usually the part people underestimate. A single bathroom might run 4–8 weeks of construction; a kitchen often 6–12; a whole-home renovation several months. Permit review in Miami-Dade, Broward or Palm Beach can add weeks before construction legally starts, which is why we start that process early rather than after design is finalised.
Almost certainly, if the work is structural, electrical, plumbing or mechanical — which covers most real remodeling. Purely cosmetic work like painting or a like-for-like flooring swap is one of the few genuine exceptions. We pull permits directly rather than leaving that to the homeowner.
We provide project estimates following a consultation and site visit. Because the condition of what is behind the walls materially changes cost, we price the visible scope honestly and flag likely contingencies rather than burying them in a number that changes later.
Miami-Dade and Broward sit inside Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Structural, roofing, window and door products installed there must carry a valid Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. Palm Beach falls just outside HVHZ but is still governed by Wind-Borne Debris Region rules. We verify product approvals before ordering, not after an inspection flags it.
Often yes for a single-room or partial renovation, though expect real disruption — dust, noise, and periods without a working kitchen or bathroom. Whole-home renovations more often call for temporary relocation, at least during the most invasive phases. We will tell you honestly which one your project is.
Yes, and we identify which apply during the first site visit rather than after materials are ordered. Association and architectural review can add real weeks to a timeline, and historic districts often carry specific material requirements. Planning for it up front is far cheaper than reacting to it.
For most residential remodeling we can handle design and construction together, which is usually faster and better coordinated. Larger structural projects, additions and new construction typically do require a licensed architect or engineer of record, which we coordinate directly.
Material tier, how much layout is changing versus staying put, the condition found once walls are opened, and permit complexity — often more than square footage alone. Moving plumbing or structure costs meaningfully more than a like-for-like finish update.
Yes. Elbaz Construction is a licensed, bonded and insured general contractor operating under License No. CBC1265280, serving Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.
