The Orange County Permitting and Building Process
Building a pool in Orlando requires more than just a good design; it requires a builder who knows how to navigate the Orange County Division of Building Safety.
From managing “Fast Track” online permitting to ensuring every structural steel inspection meets the latest Florida Building Code, we handle the bureaucracy so you don’t have to. We are well-versed in local drainage and grading requirements, which are critical in Central Florida to ensure your new pool doesn’t impact your home’s foundation or your neighbor’s property.
