Florida Certified General Contractor CGC1528750
Florida certified general contractor CGC1528750 builds your new home in Royal Palm Beach from lot review through the Village permit, the wind-zone design and the final inspection. The owner, who is also a certified energy engineer, inspects every job, and every job carries a written one-year workmanship warranty.
Why Us
Randolph Scott Bell holds Florida Certified General Contractor license CGC1528750. A state certification means he may contract in any Florida county. He is the only Palm Beach County contractor who is also a certified energy engineer, so the envelope, the openings and the cooling load are designed together instead of left to a subcontractor.
Our work includes new construction and commercial, institutional and high-rise projects, including million-dollar builds. For a new house in Royal Palm Beach that means one accountable contractor from the survey to the certificate of occupancy.
Permitting and Wind Zone
Royal Palm Beach is an incorporated village with its own Building Division at Village Hall, 1050 Royal Palm Beach Boulevard, and it issues its own permits through e-permitting. It is not unincorporated county, and it is not Wellington's process. A complete application moves faster than an incomplete one: a missing Florida Product Approval number, an unclear scope or a missing signature can sit for weeks in a resubmittal cycle.
All of Royal Palm Beach sits in the Florida Building Code's Wind-Borne Debris Region, with local design wind speeds running roughly 140 to 160 mph and no lower-zone exception. Every opening in a new house must be impact-rated or protected, and the product approval must match the wall type and opening size, so we specify them at design stage, not after the framing is up.
Lots, Zoning and Flood
Royal Palm Beach grew from former pasture and wetland, so drainage and elevation matter on a new build. Each parcel has its own FEMA flood zone and base flood elevation, which set the required finished-floor height and can change the foundation design. We read both for your parcel, along with the plat and any recorded easements, before we price a design.
Zoning district, setbacks, lot coverage and height limits come from the Village's zoning code, and your community's recorded covenants can be stricter. We confirm the controlling numbers for your lot against the Village and your association, with a survey in hand, rather than quoting from a generic lot. Lots in the older sections around the original Colony differ from the gated communities of the 2000s such as Madison Green and Portosol, and the approvals differ with them.
Communities and HOA
Newer Royal Palm Beach communities, including Madison Green, Portosol, Victoria Grove, Bella Terra and Nautica, run architectural review boards over elevation, colour, materials and roof profile. We submit the board package alongside the Village permit application from day one. Submitted after the permit instead of beside it, a project can sit idle waiting on paperwork instead of a crew.
Proof
Our confirmed Royal Palm Beach projects are at Greenway Village, a carport concrete beam and built-up roof rebuild (November 2025) and a resident walkway panel replacement (2025), and seamless gutters at Strathmore Gate West (2025). They are repair and restoration work, not new houses, and we label them that way. See them on the concrete restoration page and the Royal Palm Beach gutters page. We also hold a Village of Royal Palm Beach Business Tax Receipt.
