Frequently asked

General Contracting · the questions Aldo answers every week.

What makes a "general contractor" different from a specialty trade?

A GC signs the overall permit and takes responsibility for the entire project — not just the trade they self-perform. Aldo's unusual because he holds every specialty trade license too.

What Hiring a General Contractor in Broward & Palm Beach Actually Involves

South Florida's permitting environment is among the most layered in the country. Broward County Building Division and the Palm Beach County Building Division each maintain their own inspection queues, impact-fee schedules, and wind-load documentation requirements tied to the Florida Building Code's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone provisions. A general contractor who also holds the specialty trade licenses — roofing, mechanical, plumbing, electrical — can submit consolidated permit packages rather than waiting on separately licensed subs to pull their own permits in sequence.

In coastal ZIP codes throughout these two counties, projects frequently trigger additional reviews: flood-zone elevation certificates, FEMA compliance documentation for structures near the Intracoastal, and energy-efficiency calculations required under Florida's current building code cycle. Coordinating those reviews across multiple specialty contractors is where timelines slip. When the GC license and every trade license sit with the same owner, the permit path is a single conversation with the building department.

Neighborhoods from Parkland and Coral Springs in the northwest to Boca Raton and Delray Beach on the coast carry different HOA architectural review requirements on top of county permits. Aldo Dellamano's team has navigated both county systems and common HOA submission formats across these corridors, so the plan-review process does not stall the construction calendar.

Broward and Palm Beach Building Divisions each require separate permit accounts and inspection scheduling

Coastal and Intracoastal properties frequently require FEMA flood-zone documentation

HOA architectural review in communities like Parkland and Boca Raton runs parallel to — not instead of — county permitting

Florida Building Code high-wind provisions apply across both counties and affect roofing, opening protection, and structural fastening specs

What Separates a Multi-License General Contractor From a Standard GC

Most general contractors hold a single GC license and coordinate licensed subs for mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and roofing scopes. That model works, but it introduces scheduling dependencies the GC cannot fully control — a sub's inspection backlog becomes the project's inspection backlog.

Dellamano Construction holds FL #CGC1525289 (General Contractor), FL #CCC1335157 (Roofing), FL #CMC1251666 (Mechanical), FL #CFC1434398 (Plumbing), and FL #EC13015530 (Electrical) — all under Aldo Dellamano personally. Self-performing the trade scopes means the inspection schedule is an internal decision, not a negotiation with outside companies. It also means warranty questions after completion have a single point of contact rather than a chain of subcontractor agreements.

The fixed-bid proposal structure the company uses lists every line item before work begins. Change orders require written approval and exist only for scope added outside what was signed — not for costs that were simply unestimated at the start.

One permit-signing owner across all five license categories

Trade scheduling controlled internally — no sub availability gaps

Written fixed-bid proposal: every line item visible before the contract is signed

Single warranty contact for the life of the project and after

Common questions

Do I need a general contractor or can I hire the trades separately in Broward or Palm Beach County?

For projects that cross trade lines — any job combining structural, roofing, MEP, or significant finish work — Florida law requires a licensed GC to pull the overall permit and take code responsibility for the full scope. Hiring trades separately is legal for isolated repairs under certain thresholds, but as soon as a project involves multiple systems or requires a building permit, a GC signature is required. Attempting to owner-build across trades without the license can result in stop-work orders and failed final inspections.

How does a fixed-bid contract protect me compared to time-and-materials pricing?

A fixed-bid contract locks the total project cost at signing based on a fully itemized scope. If material costs shift or a trade scope takes longer than estimated, that variance is the contractor's problem to manage — not an addition to your invoice. Time-and-materials billing passes those variables to you. The fixed-bid model works best when the scope is defined in writing before work starts, which is why the proposal process here documents every line before a contract is signed.

What should I look for when verifying a general contractor's license in Florida?

Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) maintains a public license lookup at myfloridalicense.com where you can verify license number, status, expiration date, and any disciplinary history. For a project in Broward or Palm Beach County, confirm the GC license is current and active, and ask separately which trade scopes — roofing, mechanical, plumbing, electrical — will be pulled by the GC versus a separately licensed sub. Each sub's license should also be verifiable on the same DBPR portal.
