Florida State-Certified General Contractor CGC1528750
Ground-up homes on Greenacres lots, permitted through the City's own Building Division and checked parcel by parcel for flood zone, setbacks and wind speed before design starts. Built by a state-certified general contractor who inspects every job himself.
Why Us
Randolph Scott Bell is the only Palm Beach County contractor who is also a certified energy engineer — the owner inspects every job. On a new Greenacres home that means the envelope, insulation, air sealing and impact openings are designed together, and every job carries a written one-year workmanship warranty. CGC1528750 is a Florida state-certified licence, so it is not tied to any one city.
Permitting
Greenacres is an incorporated city with its own Development & Neighborhood Services Building Division at City Hall, 5800 Melaleuca Lane. A new home here is permitted through the City, not through the Palm Beach County Building Division that handles unincorporated land such as Loxahatchee. A licensed contractor holds the permit and is present at each inspection through to the certificate of occupancy; we carry that process from submittal to final.
Because the City has its own plan review and inspection scheduling, we submit and track a Greenacres build through the City's ePermit portal rather than assuming a county timeline applies.
Lots & Zoning
Greenacres is a built-out city of roughly a century of development, with neighborhoods such as Cresthaven, Lucerne Lakes, Lucerne Park, Sherwood Lakes, Springhill and Covered Bridge, and newer ground such as Royal Palm Estates near the western edge. New homes here are mostly infill: a tear-down and rebuild on an existing lot, or one of the few remaining vacant parcels. That makes the survey the first real document — it shows the boundary, easements and existing improvements the new footprint has to respect.
Setbacks, lot coverage and height come from the lot's zoning district under the City's code, and they differ between districts, so we confirm them with the City against your survey before drawing a permit set rather than quoting a rule of thumb. Flood is the same: the FEMA flood zone and base flood elevation are specific to each parcel and set the finished-floor height, so we check the flood map for your address before design. A rebuild on an older lot may also mean demolition and removing an old slab, work our land division can schedule.
Wind & Code
Every new Florida home is designed to the Florida Building Code wind provisions, and the design wind speed comes from the Palm Beach County map for the parcel's location. We do not copy a number from a neighboring town: we read the map for your address, then specify impact-rated windows and doors with a valid Florida Product Approval and a roof system to match. Built that way, a new home typically qualifies for wind-mitigation insurance credits, and because the owner is a RESNET Certified HERS Rater we can document them for your insurer.
HOA & Proof
Many Greenacres subdivisions and condominium communities have an association whose architectural review must approve plans before the City will permit, while some lots have none; we ask which applies before we quote. We have no confirmed completed project in Greenacres on our record and will not dress up other work to suggest one, so we lead with what is documented: Florida Certified General Contractor CGC1528750, EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm #NAT-F122701-2 and BBB A+ accreditation since 2021.

Building a house here usually brings other needs soon after the permit: a roof, lot work, and ongoing management once it is occupied. These are the same-town pages for each.

Questions, Answered
The City of Greenacres, through its Development & Neighborhood Services Building Division at 5800 Melaleuca Lane, not the Palm Beach County Building Division. A licensed contractor holds the permit and is present at final inspection. We submit and track the job through the City's ePermit portal.
They depend on the lot's zoning district under the City's code, so there is no single number. We confirm setbacks, lot coverage and height with the City against your survey before we draw the permit set.
It depends on the parcel. The FEMA flood zone and base flood elevation for your specific address set the required finished-floor height and can affect foundation design. We check the flood map for the lot before design begins instead of assuming.
Yes. Most new homes in a built-out city like Greenacres are infill: removing the old house and slab, then building new on the same lot. We start with the survey and the City's requirements, and our land division can handle the demolition and site prep.
It depends on the community. Some subdivisions and condominium associations require architectural review before the City will permit, and some lots have no association at all. We confirm which applies to your address before we quote.
Yes. Bell Engineering and Construction Corporation holds Florida Certified General Contractor license CGC1528750, a statewide certification, and is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm (#NAT-F122701-2) and BBB A+ accredited. We do not claim a Greenacres local business tax receipt.
