Florida State-Certified General Contractor CGC1528750
Florida State-Certified General Contractor CGC1528750. Custom homes on acre-plus Loxahatchee and Acreage lots, with the jurisdiction, flood zone, wind load, well, septic and drainage district worked out from your parcel before we price the build.
Why Us
Randolph Scott Bell holds Florida Certified General Contractor license CGC1528750. It is a state certification, so it is good in any Florida county, and it is the licence the permit is pulled under. He builds new construction and commercial, institutional and high-rise projects, including million-dollar builds, and he is the only Palm Beach County contractor who is also a certified energy engineer. The owner inspects every job, and every build carries a written one-year workmanship warranty.
Our shop is at 16140 Okeechobee Blvd in Loxahatchee. A new home here is not a trip across the county for us, and the same crew that preps the pad is the one that frames, pours and finishes on it.
Lots & Zoning
Loxahatchee and The Acreage are mostly one-acre-plus parcels, and many sit on rural-style zoning with real setbacks from the road and the side lines. The setbacks, maximum building coverage and any accessory-structure rules come from the county's Unified Land Development Code for your zoning district, so we read them from your parcel record and your survey before we draw anything. We do not quote a setback from memory, because it changes from one district to the next.
Most of these lots have no city water or sewer. A new house means a drilled well and an onsite septic system sized to the number of bedrooms, with the drain field kept clear of the footprint, the driveway and the pool. We lay the house out around those two constraints from the first sketch, not after the slab is poured.
Permits & Flood Zone
Loxahatchee is a mailing address, not a jurisdiction. Most of the area, including The Acreage, is unincorporated Palm Beach County, so a new-home permit runs through the county's Planning, Zoning & Building Division at 2300 North Jog Road in West Palm Beach, or online through the ePZB portal. The Town of Loxahatchee Groves and the City of Westlake are separate municipalities with their own building departments. We confirm the jurisdiction from the parcel record before the estimate.
The Acreage sits inside the Indian Trail Improvement District, which permits driveways and culverts separately from the building permit and inspects that the swale still drains. Flood zone is read from the FEMA map for your exact parcel. A lot in a mapped flood zone can require an elevation certificate and a set finished-floor height, and the swales and canals that drain this area make site grading part of the design, not an afterthought.
Wind & Energy
All of Palm Beach County sits in the Florida Building Code's Wind-Borne Debris Region, so every new opening needs impact-rated glazing or approved shutters, and every product needs a valid Florida Product Approval. Design wind speeds in the western communities generally run in the 140 to 160 mph range depending on the code edition and the building's risk category, and we confirm the figure for your site and plan before we lock the structure. Being inland does not exempt a new home.
Because the owner is a certified energy engineer (RESNET HERS Rater RTIN 4516301, LEED AP), we design the envelope, ducts and windows as one system, so the finished house is measured and not just hoped to be efficient. Financing is available through our partner Renew Financial's RenewPACE program, designed for energy and storm-protection upgrades like impact windows and new roofs. Ask us about eligibility.
