Royal Palm Beach is an incorporated village, chartered in 1959, and it runs its own Building Division out of Village Hall on Royal Palm Beach Boulevard. Permits are issued by the village, not by unincorporated Palm Beach County and not by neighboring Wellington, so a contractor who mostly works elsewhere has to learn a separate submittal routine, product-approval expectations and inspection scheduling. A room of village builders, owners and board members already knows that. A talk written for them starts there.
The wind picture is simpler than in some towns and no less demanding. All of Royal Palm Beach sits in the Florida Building Code's Wind-Borne Debris Region, so new work and replacement openings must be impact-rated or protected by approved shutters, with no lower-zone exception to hide in. Design wind speed is checked address by address, never borrowed from a neighboring town. The village was carved from former pasture and wetland, so canal-drained flat lots, grading and flood-zone designation come up whenever the talk turns to additions or outbuildings.
The housing stock runs across sixty years of codes. The original Colony section near the south end of Royal Palm Beach Boulevard, The Willows and La Mancha were built out from the 1960s through the 1980s, and many of those homes are on a second roof. Counterpoint Estates and Crestwood fill in the middle years. Then came the gated era: Madison Green, with roughly 1,350 homes in eleven sub-developments around its golf course, followed by Portosol, Victoria Grove, Bella Terra, Saratoga Pines and Nautica. Those communities run their own architectural review. Each audience asks different questions, and the session is rebuilt around whichever one is in your room.
Randolph Scott Bell is a working operator, not a professional speaker. He holds six active Florida licenses, earned a B.S. in Engineering at Aalborg University in Denmark and an MBA at the University of Miami, and is fluent in English, Danish and German. He is a RESNET Certified HERS Rater and a LEED Accredited Professional. Credentials get stated once; after that the time goes to your audience.
Formats run from a keynote to a half-day workshop, a panel or a board-retreat session. The main keynote speaking page lists the signature talks and what a planner should settle before booking. Fees are quoted per engagement, so call (561) 779-3213 and describe the room.
Once a talk raises a question about your own building, the next step is usually a local one: construction in Royal Palm Beach for village permits, impact windows and remodels, roofing in Royal Palm Beach for a second-roof home and storm readiness, property management in Royal Palm Beach if your association needs a manager, and land services in Royal Palm Beach for lots, grading and site work.

The audience, the date and what the event is trying to accomplish. You will get a straight answer on fit, including "I'm not the right speaker for this" when that is the truth.
Yes. Royal Palm Beach is inside Palm Beach County, which is home territory, so a date here is a local booking rather than a travel booking. Call (561) 779-3213 with the audience, the room and what the event needs to accomplish, and you will get a straight answer on fit before anything is agreed.
Royal Palm Beach is an incorporated village with its own Building Division at Village Hall on Royal Palm Beach Boulevard, so permits come from the village, not the county or neighboring Wellington. The whole village sits in the Wind-Borne Debris Region, so impact-rated or shuttered openings are the rule. A talk for this room starts from those realities.
The usual fit is a session on roof age, storm hardening and how a board reads the engineering reports it is handed. Royal Palm Beach has many deed-restricted communities, from Madison Green to Portosol and Victoria Grove, and each runs its own architectural review, so the session is rebuilt around the rules your board works under.
Yes. Those sections were built out from the 1960s through the 1980s, so many homes are on a second roof and may still carry original windows. A session for owners there covers roof replacement timing, impact-rated openings and the paperwork that supports wind-mitigation credits.
A working contractor who speaks. He holds six active Florida licenses, including Certified General Contractor CGC1528750 and Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1332751, and is a RESNET Certified HERS Rater and LEED Accredited Professional. The examples on stage come from running real jobs.
Yes. He earned a B.S. in Engineering at Aalborg University in Denmark and now works as a certified energy engineer and Florida general contractor. For a Royal Palm Beach room that means energy talks are tied to what a South Florida home or building really needs.
No. Credentials are stated once because they are why the material is credible, and the rest of the time belongs to your audience's problem. If attendees want to follow up, the better route is a written takeaway and an open phone number rather than a sales slide.
Call (561) 779-3213 or send the event details through the form on this page. Ask every speaker you consider how a postponement is handled and get the reschedule terms in writing, because Florida events lose dates to storms during hurricane season.
