A Florida State-Certified General Contractor on your side of the table for a Delray Beach build or renovation: reading bids, watching change orders and checking permits and inspections with the City's Building Division. Call (561) 779-3213.
Delray Beach is an incorporated city with its own Development Services Building Division, at 100 NW 1st Avenue, so a bid should say plainly who is pulling the City permit and who will be at final inspection. There is a catch: some addresses with a Delray Beach mailing address sit outside city limits and permit through the county. Confirming which office applies, before bids are compared, is the first thing an owner's representative reads for.
The second is the ground the house sits on. Delray Beach is in the Wind-Borne Debris Region, so every opening is impact-rated or shuttered to approved product, and the approval numbers on the bid should match what is ordered. Intracoastal and oceanfront parcels add flood-zone and elevation paperwork, which belongs in the schedule at the start, not discovered halfway through.
Randolph Scott Bell holds CGC1528750, a Florida state-certified General Contractor license, which authorizes work anywhere in Florida. He also holds an MBA, a B.S. in Engineering and a LEED Accredited Professional credential, and is a RESNET Certified HERS Rater. A Palm Beach County business tax receipt is held; a receipt is a local tax registration, not a contractor license.
The role is advisory. It is separate from any construction contract, and a finding is yours to take to any licensed contractor.

Once the oversight plan is set, the same Delray Beach project usually needs more than one trade: construction in Delray Beach for the permitted build or remodel itself, roofing in Delray Beach when the roof is the biggest bid on the table, property management in Delray Beach for an association or rental that has to run after the work is done, and land services in Delray Beach when the lot needs clearing or site prep before anything is built.
Delray Beach is an incorporated city with its own Development Services Building Division at 100 NW 1st Avenue, separate from the Palm Beach County office. The contractor you hire holds the permit. An owner's representative confirms the permit is posted before work starts, that inspections are scheduled and passed in order, and that what is built matches what the permit describes.
Not always. Some addresses with a Delray Beach mailing address sit outside city limits, in unincorporated Palm Beach County, and those permit through the county instead. An owner's representative checks which office applies before the bids are compared, so every bid prices the right permit.
Yes. Delray Beach sits in the Wind-Borne Debris Region, so new openings must be impact-rated or protected by approved shutters, and the product approval numbers on a bid should match what is ordered. Oceanfront and Intracoastal parcels also bring flood-zone and elevation paperwork that belongs in the schedule from day one.
Then there is a second approval besides the permit. The Historic Preservation Board reviews exterior changes in districts such as Old School Square, Del-Ida Park and Nassau Park, and communities such as Kings Point and Rainberry Bay run their own association approvals. An owner's representative keeps both tracks in step and checks that the bid prices them.
Age and the water. Older homes in neighborhoods such as Osceola Park may be on a second or third roof with original windows. Bids should state an openings schedule with product approvals, corrosion-resistant hardware near the coast, and who is responsible for any flood-zone or elevation paperwork, so none of it arrives later as a change order.
Yes. Reviewing a signed contract, the draw schedule and the change orders issued so far is a common starting point. It does not undo what is signed, but it puts a licensed contractor's review on the draws, change orders and paperwork still ahead.
For the property owner only. An owner's representative is paid to protect the owner's interests and has no stake in how much the job costs or how long it takes.
No. It is guidance from a Florida state-certified general contractor (CGC1528750). Engineering and architectural sign-off stay with the licensed professionals who carry them, and the scope of any engagement is set to the project.
It depends on the project and how long it runs, so no price is listed here. Call (561) 779-3213 to talk through where your project stands and what level of oversight makes sense.
