Permit Note

Miami-Dade County has strict building codes due to hurricane risk. Permits run $100–$400 and include mandatory wind-load inspections. Expect longer review times.

Planning a room addition

Start with a site survey and check zoning setbacks. Foundation type (slab vs crawlspace) depends on your existing home. Matching the roofline to the existing structure is critical for curb appeal.

Bump-out vs full addition

A bump-out (under 100 sq ft) costs less since it may not need a new foundation. Full additions require foundation work but offer more flexible layouts.
