The Coral Springs differenceSection 02 of 15

A Watch is not a warning. It is an instruction.

Everywhere in South Florida treats hurricanes as a design load: a wind speed a window has to survive, an approval number on a door. Coral Springs publishes something else as well — a duty that starts the moment the National Weather Service names a Watch, before anything has happened at all.

Citing Florida Building Code 110.13 and Section 1-8.1 (d)(33) of its own City Code, the City states that "during times designated by the National Weather Service as a Hurricane Watch, all furniture, display racks, material and similar loose objects in exposed outdoor locations shall be securely fastened to rigid construction or stored in buildings". A Watch is typically issued around 48 hours out. Read that against a renovation with a skip in the driveway, sheet material stacked by the side gate and a scaffold at the rear, and it stops being weather advice and becomes a scheduling constraint with a legal basis. It is the reason our programme treats June to November as a planning input rather than as bad luck.

The triggerA NAMED WATCH

Not a Warning, not landfall. The duty attaches when the National Weather Service designates a Hurricane Watch.

The dutyFASTEN OR STORE

All loose objects in exposed outdoor locations "securely fastened to rigid construction or stored in buildings".

The authorityFBC 110.13

The City cites Florida Building Code 110.13 alongside Section 1-8.1 (d)(33) of its own City Code.

What we do hereSection 03 of 15

The work Coral Springs owners ask us for.

Elbaz Construction is a licensed general contractor working across Broward. Coral Springs is a planned city of mostly single-family homes built from the late 1960s onward, which means the commonest project here is a considered update to a sound house rather than a rescue.

01Kitchen remodelingInside the footprint, or opened into the living space.

The commonest project in the city, and the one where the trades stack up most tightly behind a single wall.

02Bathroom renovationOne bathroom, or the whole upstairs at once.

Waterproofing is inspected before tiling, which is the single most important sequencing fact in any wet room.

03Whole-home renovationEvery room, run as one programme.

One permit record and one accountable contractor rather than five trades arriving in whatever order suits them.

04Room additionsWhere a 1970s or 1980s plan has run out of room.

An addition is a zoning and setback question before it is a construction one, and on a planned-city lot the setbacks are rarely generous.

05Impact windows and doorsGlazing approved for the wind zone.

Broward specifies for high wind loads. Approvals and anchorage details are reviewed rather than assumed, and they are also the work most exposed to the season.

06Roof and envelope workWhere the weather actually gets in.

Anything opening the envelope is planned around the calendar rather than squeezed into it.

07Flooring throughoutCarried through, or changed deliberately at each threshold.

Substrate and level decisions are made once and are visible for the life of the floor.

08Outdoor livingCovered terraces, summer kitchens and screen enclosures.

Structures outside the house are permitted construction — and they are also the first thing a Watch applies to.

09Safety inspection supportWhere a building has reached the Broward programme threshold.

The structural and electrical report is an engineer’s work, not ours. What we do is carry out whatever it identifies, under permit.

Project recordSection 05 of 15

What these two projects show.

Dark cabinetry needs light designed into it

The glass-fronted dresser and the tall run behind the island only work because the lighting was drawn at first fix, not chosen at the end.

An island in a through-room is a circulation decision

Where a kitchen opens into dining and living, the island sets every route through the space. It is placed on a plan before it is priced.

Stone is templated, never estimated

The veined worktop is cut from a template taken after the cabinets were set. Nothing about that step can be brought forward.

Brass ages, and that is the point

Unlacquered brassware and handles change over the first year. Owners are told that before they choose it, not afterwards.

Why it matters hereSection 06 of 15

Coral Springs rewards a contractor who has read the City’s own page rather than assumed it says what every other city says.

Most of what goes wrong on a project here is a calendar problem, and the City has published enough for the calendar to be built properly.

01The season is in the programme

A Watch is an instruction, not a forecast

Anything loose on an exposed site has to be fastened or stored. Planning for that is cheaper than reacting to it at 48 hours’ notice.

02Virtual inspections exist

The City offers them

Where an inspection can be done virtually, a day is not lost to travel — and the City publishes how to schedule one.

03The Broward safety programme

25 years, then every ten

Changed in 2023. On a house at that age the structural and electrical report is part of the context a remodel sits in.

04The application form moves

Revised, with a hard cut-over

The Broward County Uniform Building Permit Application was revised 14 November 2025 and no previous version is accepted from 1 December 2025.

05Flood mapping has changed

New FEMA models, new datum

The City states its flood zones have recently changed. What that means for a specific address is the City’s to answer, not ours.

06One contractor, one record

The permit history is the asset

A closed record is what a future buyer’s search finds and what an insurer asks for.

The wind zone, the water table and the wet season apply across South Florida and are planned for on every project we run. What is specific here is that Coral Springs has written the Watch duty down.

SpecificationSection 08 of 15

What gets specified differently here.

Not an exhaustive list — the six decisions where this county, this climate and this City’s published rules change the answer.

Windows and doors
Approved for the wind zone
Broward specifies for high wind loads. Every glazed unit carries a product approval and an anchorage detail, and both are reviewed.Keep tracks and weeps clear; check seals and anchors before each season.
Site protection
A published duty, not good practice
Loose material, scaffold components and skips on an exposed site are exactly what the City’s Hurricane Watch clause names. Storage is designed into the programme.Keep the site tidy through the season; it is a requirement here, not a courtesy.
Waterproofing
Inspected, then buried forever
In a wet room the membrane is signed off before tiling starts. Putting it right later means removing a finished room.Check sealant and movement joints annually; act on the first sign of a leak.
Worktops
Templated from what is actually built
Stone is cut to a template taken on site after the cabinets are set, which is why it cannot be ordered early.Reseal natural stone as specified; engineered stone needs none.
Brass and unlacquered metals
They change, deliberately
Unlacquered brass develops a patina over the first year. It is a choice made with the owner in advance, not a defect discovered later.Leave it, or polish it — but decide which before it is installed.
Electrical
First fix, not finishing
Circuits, appliance supplies and the cove lighting inside joinery are all first-fix scope with their own inspection.Label the panel properly at handover; test protective devices annually.

How we run itSection 09 of 15

Nine stages, in order.

01

Address and scope

What the work is, what kind of building it is, and how much of the envelope it opens. That last question decides where in the year it should sit.

02

Survey and conditions

What is actually there. On a house of this city’s typical age the surprises are in the services rather than in the structure.

03

Season planning

Envelope work placed deliberately against June-to-November, and site storage planned so the City’s Hurricane Watch duty can be met without stopping the job.

04

Drawings, resolved

A set complete enough to be reviewed once, on the current Broward County Uniform Building Permit Application rather than a superseded one.

05

Products and approvals

Glazing and doors selected with their approvals attached, because in this county that documentation is part of the review.

06

Submittal through Accela

All new applications are submitted online through the City’s Citizen Access portal. Complete, rather than nearly complete.

07

Review and corrections

Comments answered as a set. A partial answer starts another cycle.

08

Inspections, including virtual

Booked when the work will genuinely pass, and using the City’s virtual inspection route where it applies.

09

Closeout and the record

Final inspections, any certificate that applies, and the documents handed over.

City of Coral SpringsSection 10 of 15

The City’s own rules, as it publishes them.

Where it happens
The Building Department is at 9551 W. Sample Road. It "provides customer friendly plan review, issues building permits, performs field inspections, and issues certificates of occupancy". All new permit applications are submitted online through the Accela Citizen Access portal.
The Hurricane Watch duty
Citing Florida Building Code 110.13 and Section 1-8.1 (d)(33) of the City Code: "During times designated by the National Weather Service as a Hurricane Watch, all furniture, display racks, material and similar loose objects in exposed outdoor locations shall be securely fastened to rigid construction or stored in buildings."
Why that matters on a live site
A Watch is usually issued around two days ahead. A renovation with material stacked outside, a skip in the driveway and scaffold at the rear is precisely what the clause describes, so where the material is stored is a decision taken at programme stage rather than on the day.
Virtual inspections
The City states: "Virtual Inspections are now available!" and publishes how to learn more and schedule one. Where a scope qualifies, that is a day not lost.
The Building Safety Inspection Program
It "became effective in Broward County in January 2006. In 2023, the program requirements changed. The current program requires structural and electrical safety inspections for buildings 25 years old and then every ten years thereafter", per Broward County Board of Rules and Appeals (BORA) Policy # 05-05.
The application form has a cut-over
The Broward County Uniform Building Permit Application was revised on 14 November 2025, and effective 1 December 2025 no previous version of the application is accepted. Filing on a superseded form is a returned submittal.
Flood zones have changed
The City states its flood zones "have recently changed as part of an update to the flood models used by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)", including "a new vertical datum that allows for the consistent comparison of land and water elevations across the nation".
What that does NOT tell you
It does not tell you which zone your property is in now. That is address-specific, it is the City’s and FEMA’s to state, and this page will not guess at it.
Who runs it
The Chief Building Official is a state-licensed contractor of long standing and was appointed by the Governor to the FBC Administrators & Inspectors Board. We name the role rather than the person, as on every page on this site.

Every statement above is the City of Coral Springs’ published position as read on 19 August 2026 at coralsprings.gov. Municipal procedure and flood mapping both change; confirm the current requirement with the Building Department before relying on any of it. No fee is quoted here.

The routeSection 11 of 15

From an address to a closed record.

Five steps. The third is the one that is genuinely local, and on a Coral Springs project booked for the summer it is the one that saves the programme.

01

Place the property

What kind of building, what the scope opens, and — because the City says its mapping has changed — what the current flood position is, established with the City rather than assumed.

02

Decide the scope

Which trades it touches and how much of the envelope comes off. That decides both the inspection list and the right months to do it in.

03

Plan the season

Envelope work placed against June to November, and site storage designed so the Hurricane Watch duty can be met in an afternoon rather than a scramble.

04

Apply through Accela

On the current Broward County Uniform Building Permit Application, submitted online with everything attached.

05

Inspect and close

Field or virtual inspections called when the work will pass, then the certificate and the documents handed over.

Owner’s guideSection 12 of 15

What actually moves a Coral Springs project.

We do not publish prices, and we do not publish the City’s fees or timelines as if they were ours to promise. What follows is where the number and the calendar actually move.

What moves the number

Whether services move
Keeping a sink, a hob or a soil stack where it is costs far less than relocating it, because relocation is work in the floor.
How much is structural
Removing a wall means engineering before it means construction, and engineering is a cost and a lead time at once.
What the demolition finds
The real scope is settled when the finishes come off, not when the estimate is written.
Product approvals
Glazing and doors are specified with their documentation. A late substitution is a revision rather than a swap.
Level of finish
The gap between a good kitchen and an exceptional one is mostly joinery, stone and fittings.
Site protection through the season
Secure storage and tidy staging are a real line item here, and they exist because the City has written the duty down.
Access and protection
Working around an occupied house is slower than working in an empty one.
Reinstatement
Making everything good afterwards is invisible in the finished photograph and it is genuinely part of the job.

What moves the calendar

How complete the submittal is
A package reviewed once moves; a package reviewed three times does not.
Which months the envelope is open in
Roof and window work placed against the season rather than into the middle of it.
Whether the current form was used
From 1 December 2025 no previous version of the Broward uniform application is accepted, and a returned submittal is a lost fortnight.
Whether virtual inspection applies
Where it does, it removes a scheduling constraint the rest of the county still has.
Lead times on stone and glazing
Templating happens after the cabinets are set, and the wait after that cannot be compressed.
Weather
Anything opening the envelope in the wet season is planned around it rather than surprised by it.

Bring to the first call

  • The property address.
  • What kind of building it is, and roughly when it was built.
  • What you want to do, in plain words.
  • Whether anything is moving: a wall, a sink, a soil stack.
  • Whether the work opens the roof or the envelope.
  • Any drawings, survey or permit paperwork you already hold.
Before you callSection 13 of 15

What a first conversation covers.

Twenty minutes on the phone, or at the property, answers most of it. We will talk about what the scope opens, where in the year it belongs, and which questions only the Building Department can answer.

  • The property address and roughly when the house was built.
  • Whether the work opens the roof or the envelope.
  • Whether the work stays inside the existing footprint.
  • What months you were hoping to build in.

Questions, answered.

Coral Springs questions

What actually happens to my project when a hurricane watch is issued?

The City publishes the duty directly, citing Florida Building Code 110.13 and Section 1-8.1 (d)(33) of the City Code: during a National Weather Service Hurricane Watch, all furniture, display racks, material and similar loose objects in exposed outdoor locations must be securely fastened to rigid construction or stored in buildings. On a live site that means the skip, the stacked material and anything loose.

Does that mean you stop work?

Not automatically. It means the site has to be made safe on a short timescale, which is why we plan storage and staging for it from the beginning rather than improvising at 48 hours’ notice.

Should I avoid renovating in hurricane season?

No — but anything that opens the roof or the envelope is worth placing deliberately. Interior work runs perfectly well through the summer. That conversation happens at programme stage, not after a start date has been promised.

Are virtual inspections really available?

The City states that they are and publishes how to schedule one. Whether your particular inspection qualifies is the Building Department’s call, and it is worth asking, because it removes a travel day.

My house is over 25 years old. What is the safety inspection programme?

The City states the Broward Building Safety Inspection Program "became effective in Broward County in January 2006. In 2023, the program requirements changed. The current program requires structural and electrical safety inspections for buildings 25 years old and then every ten years thereafter", per BORA Policy # 05-05. The report is an engineer’s or architect’s work, not a contractor’s.

Which permit application form should be used?

The Broward County Uniform Building Permit Application, in its current version. The City states it was revised on 14 November 2025 and that from 1 December 2025 no previous version is accepted.

Have the flood zones really changed?

The City says so: its flood zones "have recently changed as part of an update to the flood models used by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)", including a new vertical datum. What that means for your address is for the City and FEMA to answer, and we will help you ask.

How do I apply for a permit?

All new permit applications are submitted online through the City’s Accela Citizen Access portal, and the same system handles fee payment, inspection scheduling and permit record searches.

Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom?

Almost certainly, because a bathroom remodel involves plumbing and usually electrical work. What your specific scope requires is the Building Department’s to state, and it is a short call rather than a guess.

Do you handle the permit and the inspections?

Yes. We assemble the submittal on the current form, file it through Accela, answer the review, and book every inspection — virtual where that applies. What we will not do is promise a review duration that is the City’s to decide.

Why Elbaz.

Licensed general contractor

Licence CBC1265280 — licensed, bonded and insured, so several permitted scopes on one property run under a single contract.

We plan the season, not just the wind speed

We file on the current form

The Broward uniform application changed with a hard cut-over. Filing on a superseded version is an avoidable fortnight.

We use virtual inspection where it applies

The City offers it. Not using it is choosing to lose a day.

Honest about what is not ours to answer

Fees, flood-zone determinations and safety-inspection reports all belong to somebody else. We will tell you exactly who, and ask with you.

Financing available

Financing options are available — ask and we will explain what applies to your project.

Closed records at handover

A closed permit record and the documents to prove it, which is what a future buyer’s search will find.
