Civil construction in Broward County
Broward County anchors the central stretch of Southeast Florida's Atlantic coast, with Fort Lauderdale as its seat and major population centers in Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, Coral Springs, Miramar, and Pompano Beach. The county is stitched together by I-95, Florida's Turnpike, I-75, and US-1, with I-595 running east-west to connect the coast to the inland Sawgrass Expressway corridor. With most of the eastern coast already built out, growth has pushed west toward the Everglades buffer and into infill and redevelopment along the urban core, plus heavy logistics and port-driven activity around Port Everglades and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
Sitework that keeps Fort Lauderdale on schedule.
Broward sits on low, flat terrain with sandy soils and a very high water table, so building pads, stormwater ponds, and water-direction work are non-negotiable on nearly every site, and permitting runs through both local jurisdictions and the South Florida Water Management District. With little raw land left, much of the work is tight infill, redevelopment, and right-of-way jobs where lay-down space is limited and schedules are unforgiving. Running clearing, grading, utilities, and base in-house keeps those constrained sites moving instead of stalling between subcontractors waiting on the next crew.

Civil construction in Broward County, answered.
How does Broward's high water table affect sitework and building pads?
Most of Broward sits only a few feet above the water table, so dewatering, proper fill selection, and engineered building pads are standard rather than optional. We grade for positive water direction and build pads to spec with sand and lime-rock base so structures sit high and dry. On wet sites we plan dewatering and muck removal into the schedule up front so they don't become surprises mid-job.
Do you handle stormwater ponds and drainage to meet South Florida Water Management District requirements?
Yes. Flat terrain and a high water table mean nearly every Broward project needs on-site stormwater retention, and that gets reviewed at both the local and SFWMD level. We excavate detention and retention ponds, set storm structures, and grade the whole site to move water where the engineer's plan says it should go. Getting drainage right early keeps the rest of the build on schedule.
Can you work tight infill and redevelopment sites in built-out parts of Broward?
That's a big share of the work here, since the eastern county is largely built out and new projects are redevelopment or infill. We sequence demolition, clearing, utilities, and base on constrained lots with limited lay-down room and active surrounding traffic. Keeping clearing, grading, underground utilities, and asphalt under one roof means fewer crews competing for the same tight space.
We work the surrounding counties too.
