Frequently asked

Commercial Construction · the questions Aldo answers every week.

Do you take commercial jobs of any size?

Depends on scope and location. Small-and-mid-size commercial (under 20,000 sqft) is the sweet spot; larger projects considered case-by-case.

Commercial Construction in South Florida — Five Licenses, One Contract

Dellamano Construction delivers ground-up commercial builds and major renovations across Broward and Palm Beach counties with every trade license held personally by owner Aldo Dellamano.

How South Florida's Permitting and Code Environment Shapes Every Commercial Project

Broward County municipalities do not share a single plan-review queue. Coral Springs, Weston, Deerfield Beach, and Pompano Beach each run independent review cycles with their own submittal checklists and correction processes — a complete package on the first submittal is the only reliable way to protect the schedule. Incomplete drawings re-enter the back of the queue, not the front.

Palm Beach County applies Florida Building Code wind-load and impact-glazing requirements that differ between coastal and inland jurisdictions. Structural and envelope drawings that do not account for the correct wind zone before the initial submittal will come back with corrections that can add weeks to the permitting phase. Getting those standards applied at the drawing stage — not discovered during review — is the difference between a schedule that holds and one that doesn't.

South Florida's humidity also makes construction sequencing a technical decision, not a scheduling preference. Roofing and waterproofing must close the envelope before interior MEP rough-in begins. Projects where that sequence slips risk moisture intrusion that shows up as remediation costs before the certificate of occupancy is issued — a problem particularly acute during the June–November storm season when rain events are frequent and unpredictable.

What Drives Schedule and Cost on a South Florida Commercial Build

The two variables that most reliably determine whether a commercial project finishes on time are trade sequencing and permit velocity. When a general contractor holds only a GC license and subcontracts MEP, each sub sets their own calendar. Inspections that require multiple trades present at once become negotiation exercises. Delays in one trade create gaps — and idle time — in every trade that follows.

Dellamano holds General, Roofing, Mechanical, Plumbing, and Electrical licenses in-house. Scheduling decisions across all five disciplines happen in one conversation, which means inspections can be stacked, conflicts get resolved before they affect the critical path, and the certificate-of-occupancy pathway is managed by the same team that pulled every permit.

On the cost side, the line items that most commonly cause budget surprises in commercial construction are allowances — placeholders written into contracts where scope isn't yet defined. The fixed-bid proposal format used on Dellamano projects lists every scope line as it will appear on the invoice. What isn't included is stated explicitly, not buried. That structure means the number agreed to at contract signing is the number that appears at close-out — not a starting point.

Common questions

How do I know the bid price won't change after we sign?
The fixed-bid proposal lists every scope line the way it will appear on the final invoice, and exclusions are stated explicitly — not left as 'allowance TBD.' If scope changes after signing, a written change order is issued before the additional work begins, so the revised number is agreed to before it's incurred, not discovered at close-out.
Do you handle permitting and municipality coordination, or does that fall to us?
Permitting and municipality coordination are included in the scope. Dellamano holds all five trade licenses in-house, so every permit is pulled under one contractor — General, Roofing, Mechanical, Plumbing, and Electrical. The certificate-of-occupancy pathway is mapped before contract signing and managed through close-out by the same team.
Can you build out a medical or dental office under one contract, including MEP and ADA compliance?
Yes. Medical and dental tenant build-outs are one of the most common commercial scopes in the Broward and Palm Beach corridor. Mechanical and plumbing licenses are held in-house, so medical-gas rough-in and infection-control construction protocols are coordinated alongside structural and finish — not handed to a sub on a separate schedule. ADA clearance review is included in the fixed-bid scope.
