House Raising
Elevate existing homes above flood zones — FEMA-compliant lifts and new foundations.
What We Do
Raising a house is one of the most specialized jobs in Florida construction — and one of the most valuable. Draft Construction handles full house elevations for homes in AE, VE, and X flood zones across Southwest Florida. We coordinate the certified lifting crew, pour a new elevated stem-wall or piling foundation, re-tie the structure with hurricane straps, and handle all utility disconnects and reconnects. Every lift is documented for the elevation certificate, insurance, and floodplain administrator. The result: a dry house, a lower flood-insurance premium, and a structure that meets the latest FEMA NFIP and Florida Building Code requirements.
Certified Structural Lift
We coordinate the unified-jacking lift crew and engineering — your house comes up level, on schedule.

Utility & MEP Re-Tie

Every lift documented for FEMA NFIP, your floodplain administrator, and your flood-insurance carrier.
