A town of condominiums,
and a counter open
six hours a day.

South Palm Beach is a mile of barrier island and almost entirely condominiums, and its Building Department is open from eight in the morning until two in the afternoon. The building official works for Hy-Byrd Building Inspections, the Town says so on its own page, and the practical effect is that timing matters more here than paperwork does.

Tell us the building and the unit

Send us the building and the floor and what you want changed. The building’s rules and the Town’s six-hour day are the two constraints that shape everything else, and we work to both.

  • Florida-licensed general contractor, licence No. CBC1265280
  • Filed through the Town’s online system, inside its hours
  • One point of contact from first call to closeout

The building and the floor

Access, staging and the lift are the programme on a barrier island, and they belong to the association rather than the Town.

Which rooms are changing

Whether anything wet or structural moves is the question that sets the drawing set.

Your association contact

Managers hold the rules we are not allowed to guess at, and we ask them rather than assuming.

Preferred contact method

We use your details only to respond to this enquiry. No lists, no resale.

Thanks — that came through.

Your details are with the Elbaz Construction team. We will call you back to arrange a look at the unit and the access route, and to talk through what the work would involve. If it is urgent, call (754) 236-0675.

The reality

A small town outsources the department. It does not outsource the code.

South Palm Beach has a few hundred residents and a shoreline measured in yards, so it does what small towns on this coast increasingly do: it contracts building inspection services to a firm and publishes both phone numbers on its own page. That changes who answers, not what is required. The Town’s own code chapter still governs, and its wording about what needs a permit is unusually explicit — it names impact-resistant coverings and change of occupancy alongside the electrical, gas, mechanical, plumbing and fire protection systems you would expect.

  • 01

    The counter closes at two

    The Building Department publishes hours of eight in the morning to two in the afternoon, Monday to Friday.

  • 02

    Two numbers, two organisations

    The Town publishes its own line and the Hy-Byrd Inspections office line separately.

  • 03

    Permitting runs on My Government Online

    The Town points contractors and residents at the MGO platform for project information.

  • 04

    The code names coverings explicitly

    Chapter 10 Section 105.1 lists impact-resistant coverings among the work that requires a permit.

  • 05

    The association is the other authority

    In a town of condominiums the building’s rules govern access and hours, and we ask yours rather than assuming.

Detail

One apartment, one contract

Layout, joinery, stone, services and finishes under a single point of responsibility.

Handleless, because the run is long

A continuous rail line keeps a wall of cabinetry from reading as a wall of handles.

One warm bank against pale everything

A single timber element is what stops a white apartment feeling like a showroom.

Services stay where they are, mostly

In a condominium what is beneath you belongs to somebody else, so moving waste is the decision that costs.

How it runs

Ten stages, and the two authorities that both have to say yes

How Elbaz Construction runs an interior remodel in a South Palm Beach building, from the first look at the unit to a closed-out permit.

Finished detail, shown as a moving sequence of project photographs

  1. Look at the unit and the route

    We measure the rooms and we walk how material arrives: kerb, entrance, lift, corridor, door.

  2. Ask the building for its rules, in writing

    Every building sets its own. They differ, they are not ours to invent, and they usually govern more of the programme than the Town does.

  3. Establish what the code calls the work

    Town Code Chapter 10 Section 105.1 sets out what requires a permit, and its list is broader than most people assume.

  4. Design against what can arrive

    Slab sizes, appliance dimensions and anything that will not go round a corridor corner are settled at drawing stage.

  5. Specify for the exposure

    A barrier-island building takes salt on every elevation, and anything in the envelope is specified accordingly.

  6. Register and file through MGO

    The Town points contractors and residents at My Government Online for project information and permitting.

  7. Work to a six-hour counter day

    The Building Department publishes hours of 8:00 am to 2:00 pm, Monday to Friday. Anything needing a person is planned into that window.

  8. Coordinate the two calendars

    The Town’s inspection availability and the building’s access rules are separate constraints, and a job that ignores either one stalls.

  9. Call inspections against finished work

    Dates and times are not guaranteed anywhere on this coast, and we book against work that is genuinely ready.

  10. Close the permit out

    Final inspections and closeout, with the documentation handed over to you and, where the building asks for it, to the association.

Nothing above is a South Palm Beach requirement unless it says the Town publishes it. Building-specific rules belong to your building and we ask for them rather than publishing a version of them here. For milestone or recertification questions, ask the Building Department and the County — we do not publish an interval here.

A kitchen is the one room where the delivery route writes the specification. A single slab that will not fit in a lift becomes two pieces and a joint; a range that will not turn a corridor corner becomes a different range. None of that is visible in a finished photograph, which is exactly why it gets decided too late and costs too much.

Project 02

Kitchens that had to arrive in a lift

Completed by Elbaz Construction across South Florida

Photographed on two completed Elbaz Construction kitchens. Neither is in South Palm Beach. They are here because every component in both had to be carried in through a door, which is the constraint that shapes this kind of work everywhere.

Specification

What we specify in a barrier-island condominium, and why

Read each one three ways: what it is, why it suits a building a few hundred feet from open water, and what drives its cost. Nothing here is a South Palm Beach requirement unless the Town says so.

Handleless base cabinetry and the induction hob set flush into the worktop

Handleless cabinetry

A continuous rail or J-profile instead of handles, so the door line runs uninterrupted.

Elbaz project photograph

Slab worktops that fit the lift

Large-format stone or porcelain sized to the delivery route as well as to the room.

Concealed extract routes

Ducting run within the ceiling void to a termination the building already has.

Elbaz project photograph

Living with it

Salt reaches every elevation here

Ironmongery and fixings within reach of a balcony door earn their finish. Specify for salt, then for looks.

Silicone is a consumable

Wet-area joints are maintenance, not permanent. Plan to renew them.

Keep the closed-out permit

A closed permit and its documentation are what prove the work was done properly when a unit is sold or a building is assessed.

Tell your building what changed

Managers keep records of unit alterations. Handing yours over is how the next owner avoids arguing about it.

South Palm Beach

What the Town publishes, in order

Every item below is stated by the Town of South Palm Beach on its own Building Department page, read on 21 August 2026.

Open-plan living and kitchen with a pale slab island, handleless cabinetry and a warm timber upper bank

01

The department is a contracted firm

The Town publishes its Building Department under Hy-Byrd Building Inspections, naming the Town Building Official, the Code Enforcement Officer and the Permit Technician, and listing both the Town’s number and a separate Hy-Byrd Inspections office number.

Elbaz project photograph

The kitchen from the window end, with the oven stack, hob and the terrace glazing beyond

02

The counter day is six hours long

The Building Department publishes hours of operation of Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Anything that needs a person on the Town’s side has to fit inside that window.

03

Permitting runs on My Government Online

The Town describes My Government Online as a convenient platform for contractors, residents and the like to access information about projects in Town, and points at its own MGO information page for how to use it.

04

The code says what a permit is for, explicitly

Town Code Chapter 10, Section 105.1 requires a permit of any contractor under Florida Statutes Chapter 489 who intends to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish or change the occupancy of a building or structure, or to erect, install, enlarge, alter, repair, remove, convert or replace any impact-resistant coverings, electrical, gas, mechanical, plumbing or fire protection system, or accessible or flood resistant site element.

05

A lien search has a published price

The Building Department provides lien search services for a fee of $100.00, and accepts online payments. Its fee schedule is adopted by resolution under the Florida Statute governing municipal fee schedules.

06

And a complaint is a public record

The Town states that per Florida Statutes section 125.69 the acceptance of anonymous complaints is prohibited, and that complaints are therefore subject to public record, including contact information.

Where the time actually goes

A schematic of an interior remodel in a South Palm Beach building

How an interior remodel in a South Palm Beach building is sequenced Five stacked bands. Survey and the building rules feed design and specification, which feeds the permit application, which feeds construction inside the building’s access rules, which feeds inspections and closeout. The two authorities run alongside every band. SURVEY THE UNIT AND THE ROUTE Kerb, entrance, lift, corridor, door — and the building’s rules in writing DESIGN AND SPECIFICATION Drawn against what can physically arrive, specified for coastal exposure PERMIT APPLICATION Filed through the Town’s online system, inside a six-hour counter day CONSTRUCTION, TO THE BUILDING’S RULES Access, lift bookings and working hours belong to the association INSPECTIONS AND CLOSEOUT Dates are not guaranteed; documentation handed to you and the building TWO SEPARATE AUTHORITIES Run alongside every band. The Town sets the code and the hours. Your building sets the access — and we ask it, not guess.

Illustrative only. Durations are deliberately absent: the Town publishes hours rather than review times, and we will not invent one.

Answers

South Palm Beach questions

The Town publishes hours of operation of Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. It is a six-hour day, and anything needing a person on the Town’s side is planned into it.

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.
