is a set of deadlines.
Two hundred or so houses on a mile of barrier island, one Building Department, and a counter that is open for part of the day. What decides how a Golden Beach remodel runs is not the drawing. It is whether anybody is watching the dates the Town publishes — because one of them ends with your approved application being destroyed.

Tell us the house and the scope
Send us the address and what you want changed. We will come back with what the Town will want in the application package and which of its published deadlines your job is going to run into first.

- We collect the approved permit inside the Town’s 60-day window
- One point of contact from first call to closeout
The address on Golden Beach Drive or the Ocean side
Which side of the island a house sits on changes access, staging and what the survey has to show.
What is actually changing
Whether anything structural or wet moves is the question that sets the drawing set and the sub-permits.
When you need it finished
The Town publishes dates, not durations. Working backwards from your date is the only way to use them.
Thanks — that came through.
Your details are with the Elbaz Construction team. We will call you back to arrange a look at the house and the access to it, and to talk through what the work would involve. If it is urgent, call (754) 236-0675.
The reality
Approval is not the finish line. It starts another clock.
Most people assume a permit arrives and the job begins. In Golden Beach the Town publishes what happens between those two things, and it is unforgiving: once your application is approved, somebody from the Building Division telephones, and the permit has to be picked up and paid for within sixty days. Miss that and the Town states plainly that the application is destroyed. Not suspended. Not held. Destroyed — and the work of assembling it starts again.
- 01
Somebody answers the phone call
The Town notifies by telephone when a permit is approved. A number that nobody is watching is how sixty days pass.
- 02
The counter is open in parts
Applications are taken Monday to Thursday in a morning block and an afternoon block, and on Friday morning only.
- 03
Work starts inside 180 days
The Town voids a permit whose holder has not begun work within 180 days of issuance, and a new application is then required.
- 04
Inspections keep the permit alive
Once construction begins the Town states that inspections cannot be scheduled more than 180 days apart.
- 05
The licence card is a physical object
The qualifier signs, and the original State Certification Card comes to the Building Department with the application.

Project 01
One kitchen, followed around the room
Completed by Elbaz Construction in South Florida
Photographed on one completed Elbaz Construction project. It is not in Golden Beach — we show what we build and we say where it is. Every frame below is the same room.
One room, one contract
Design, cabinetry, stone, services and finishes under a single point of responsibility.
Stone that does the talking
A blue-grey quartzite island carries the dining top, so the slab is the furniture as well as the worktop.
Black against white, deliberately
The tall runs and glass-fronted uppers are dark; the working run is pale, so the room reads as two pieces rather than one long wall.
Lit at first fix
Cove and cabinet lighting is wired before anything is closed up, not added afterwards.
How it runs
Ten stages, and the four that are really about dates
How Elbaz Construction runs a remodel on a Golden Beach house, from the first look at the property to a closed-out permit.
Look at the house and the access
We measure, and we walk how material will reach the property on a street with water on both sides of the town.
Fix the scope before the drawings
What moves, what stays and what is structural is settled first, because that decides which sub-permits the package needs.
Assemble the package to the Town’s checklist
Golden Beach states that failure to provide everything the checklist requires will delay review and approval. The checklist is the schedule.
Bring the qualifier and the card
The company qualifier signs the application and the owner’s affidavit, and the original State Certification Card comes to the counter.
Submit inside the counter hours
Applications are taken Monday to Thursday, 8:30 am to 12:00 pm and again from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm, and on Friday from 8:30 am to 12:00 pm.
Answer plan review
Comments come back and are cleared. Nothing else on the programme can move until this does.
Collect the permit within sixty days
The Town telephones when a permit is approved. It must be picked up and paid for no later than sixty days after approval, or the Town states the application will be destroyed.
Start inside 180 days
Work must begin within 180 days of issuance or the permit is void and a new application is required.
Keep inspections closer than 180 days apart
Once construction has begun, the Town states that inspections cannot be scheduled more than 180 days apart. A long pause is a permit problem, not just a programme problem.
Close the permit out
Final inspections and closeout, with the documentation handed over so the file is clean when the house is next sold.
Nothing above is a Golden Beach requirement unless it says the Town publishes it. Counter times and deadlines change, so confirm the current hours with the Building Department before you plan around them. Anything a neighbour or an agent tells you about site rules we ask the Town about rather than repeating, and we do not publish a version of them here.
A driveway and a pool deck are the same problem twice: a large flat surface, laid to a fall, on ground that moves and salt air that does not forgive a cheap fixing. Travertine, large-format porcelain and pavers all behave differently once they are wet, and the decision that matters is made in the base and the bedding rather than in the showroom.
Project 02
Ground you can walk on, built to drain
Completed by Elbaz Construction across South Florida
Photographed on several completed Elbaz Construction projects — driveways, terraces and pool decks. None of them is in Golden Beach. They are here because on a barrier island the ground is the part that gets tested first.

Specification
What we specify on a barrier island, and why
Read each one three ways: what it is, why it suits a house with salt air on two sides, and what drives its cost. Nothing here is a Golden Beach requirement unless the Town says so.
Quartzite and large-format stone
A natural slab cut so the veining runs through a mitre rather than restarting at it.
Elbaz project photograph
Dark cabinetry with glass fronts
A tall run in a dark finish with lit, glazed upper doors set into it.
Elbaz project photograph
Integrated cabinet lighting
Cove and in-cabinet lighting wired at first fix and driven from a location that can be reached again.
Elbaz project photograph
Pavers on a compacted base
Concrete or clay units bedded on sand over a compacted, drained base rather than on a slab.
Elbaz project photograph
Travertine around water
A honed, unfilled or filled travertine laid to a fall away from the pool coping.
Elbaz project photograph
Covered outdoor structures
A framed cover on posts with a finished soffit, tied down to engineered foundations.
Elbaz project photograph
Living with it
Salt reaches further than you think
Ironmongery, fixings and light fittings within reach of an open door earn their finish. Specify for salt, then for looks.
Sealed stone is a schedule, not a state
Travertine and most natural stone want re-sealing. Put it in the calendar the year the job finishes.
Keep the closed-out permit
A closed permit and its documentation are what prove the work was done properly when the house is next sold.
Photograph what gets covered
Before a wall or a base is closed, a photograph of what is behind it is worth more than a memory in five years.
Golden Beach
What the Town publishes, in order
Every item below is stated by the Town of Golden Beach on its own website, read on 21 August 2026. Where the Town publishes a date, this page gives you the date rather than an estimate.
01
The counter is open in blocks, not all day
The Town takes building permit applications Monday through Thursday from 8:30 am to 12:00 pm, closes from 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm, and reopens from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm. On Friday it is 8:30 am to 12:00 pm only, and weekends are closed.

02
The checklist is the review schedule
Golden Beach states that failure to provide all of the information required by the checklist will delay your permit review and approval. There is no separate queue for a package that is nearly complete.
Elbaz project photograph
03
The qualifier signs, and brings the card
The qualifier for the company signs the building permit application and the owner’s affidavit, and brings the original State Certification Card to the Building Department when the application is submitted.
Elbaz project photograph
04
Sixty days to collect, or it is destroyed
A representative of the Building Division telephones once a permit is approved. The Town states the permit must be picked up and paid for no later than sixty days after approval, and that permit applications not picked up within sixty days after being approved will be destroyed.
Elbaz project photograph
05
A hundred and eighty days to begin
Once a building permit is issued, the builder or contractor must begin work within 180 days or the permit becomes void and a new application must be made.
Elbaz project photograph
06
And no more than 180 days between inspections
Once construction has begun, the Town states that building inspections cannot be scheduled more than 180 days apart. On a job that pauses for a season, that is the rule that catches people.

Answers
Golden Beach questions
The Town takes applications Monday through Thursday from 8:30 am to 12:00 pm, closes between 12:00 pm and 1:30 pm, and reopens from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm. On Friday it is 8:30 am to 12:00 pm only, and the counter is closed at weekends. Documents for processing can also be sent to the Town’s online permits email address.
A representative from the Building Division contacts you by telephone. From that approval you have sixty days to pick the permit up and pay for it.
The Town states that permit applications not picked up within sixty days after being approved will be destroyed. That is not a suspension or a hold — the application has to be assembled and submitted again.
Once a building permit is issued, work must begin within 180 days or the permit becomes void and a new application must be made.
It can. Once construction begins, Golden Beach states that building inspections cannot be scheduled more than 180 days apart. A long pause between inspections is a permit problem as well as a programme problem, so we plan the sequence around it.
The qualifier for the company signs the building permit application form and the owner’s affidavit, and brings the original State Certification Card to the Building Department when the application is submitted.
The Town publishes an email address for submitting documents for processing permits, and an online permit application page. The counter hours still govern in-person business, so we work to both.
Because Golden Beach says so plainly: failure to provide all of the information required by the checklist will delay your permit review and approval. On a small Building Department a resubmission is not a small delay.
We do. We assemble the package, file it, answer plan review, collect the approved permit inside the Town’s sixty-day window, call the inspections and close the permit out.
Almost everything on this page. Three of the Town’s published rules are dates rather than standards, and a job can be built perfectly and still lose its permit to a calendar.
No. Inspection scheduling is not guaranteed anywhere on this coast, and we book against work that is genuinely ready rather than against a hope.
Yes. Access, staging and what the survey has to show differ between them, which is one of the first things we look at.

Needed remodeling of my master bathroom in my house. After calling around and dealing with a bunch of unexperienced companies I found Elbaz construction and gave them a call. Just from the ease of communication and friendly talk I've had with the owner I knew this was going to be the company I was going to hire. They came 2 days later and started remodeling my bathroom and knocked it out in a timely manner. Great service, great communication, and amazing work. Will definelty refer and reuse this company for any future remodeling I might need.
