Broward County's Infrastructure Complexity Is Waterfront-Driven
Fort Lauderdale has more miles of navigable waterways than any US city outside Venice, Italy. That density of Intracoastal frontage, canal lots, and tidal basin edges means a significant share of infrastructure development projects in Broward involve seawall work sequenced against land-side civil construction.
Broward County is a High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Every structural assembly, roofing system, and opening requires NOA-listed materials with Product Approval documentation submitted to Broward Building Division at permit. GCs who do not operate regularly in HVHZ jurisdictions routinely encounter material substitution stops that delay shell enclosure by 30 to 60 days.
BAM's waterfront workflow: Seawall construction or replacement is scoped and permitted by the same GC holding the upland structural permit. No coordination gap between the marine contractor and the civil contractor. One schedule, one permit chain.

Fort Lauderdale Questions
Before the Scope Call
Yes. BAM Construction holds the structural permit of record directly with Broward County Building Division. PE-stamped drawings with Product Approval numbers for all HVHZ-listed assemblies are submitted at application. BAM is the licensed GC of record for the structural and civil scope, and manages the inspection schedule through the Broward permit portal through final certificate of occupancy.
Waterfront infrastructure in Fort Lauderdale requires coordination between the Broward building permit, FDEP coastal construction permits, and in some cases ACOE Section 10 authorizations. BAM manages the marine and upland permit tracks simultaneously, with the seawall scope typically permitted and executed first so that land-side earthwork and foundation work are not delayed waiting for marine work to clear. The marine contractor and the structural GC are the same entity, which removes the most common source of scheduling conflict on waterfront development projects.
BAM's Broward County portfolio spans residential and multifamily foundations, commercial shell and core construction, HOA site infrastructure and drainage improvements, seawall replacement and cap reconstruction on Intracoastal and canal properties, parking structure civil work, and SB 4-D milestone recertification remediation. The common thread is projects where the structural and civil scopes must be coordinated under one permit and one quality-control documentation chain.
