Question 1

Can a shell contractor also handle site work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Draft Construction self-performs both site work and structural shell. Site work includes clearing, grading, utility trenching, and foundation prep. Having one contractor handle both eliminates coordination delays and ensures the site is prepared exactly to shell construction specifications.

Question 2

What does a CBC license mean in Florida construction?

Accepted Answer

CBC stands for Certified Building Contractor. It's a state-level license issued by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) that authorizes the holder to construct, remodel, or repair commercial and residential buildings throughout Florida. Draft Construction holds CBC1263273.

Question 3

What is the difference between a shell contractor and a general contractor?

Accepted Answer

A shell contractor specializes in the structural envelope — foundation through roof, exterior walls, and rough utility connections. A general contractor manages the entire build including interior finishes. Draft Construction operates in both roles: as a shell sub for other GCs, and as the general contractor on full custom luxury home builds.

Question 4

Does Draft Construction handle hurricane-rated construction?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All Draft Construction projects in SWFL are built to Florida Building Code standards, which include some of the nation's strictest hurricane resistance requirements. This includes impact-rated windows and doors, hurricane straps, reinforced roof connections, and wind-rated wall assemblies.

Accepted Answer
