Build & Design

Building new? The contract is the foundation.

From raw land to pre-construction towers, building in South Florida means signing documents drafted entirely by the other side. I represent buyers through lot acquisition, builder negotiations, and new construction purchases, I make sure the contracts behind your build actually protect you, and I assemble the design and construction team around you.

What I Handle

Three ways to build in South Florida

🌱

Land & Lots

Zoning, setbacks, utilities, flood zones, and permit history vetted before you buy, so the lot you purchase can hold the home you're planning.

Land & lot purchases
🏗

New Construction Homes

Builder purchase agreements negotiated where they can be, explained where they can't, and enforced by deadlines that keep your build moving.

Pre-Construction Condos

Reservation agreements, deposit schedules, and developer terms scrutinized before your money goes hard.

The Paperwork

Contracts are where builds go right or wrong

Change orders, draw schedules, completion dates, warranty carve-outs. The build you get is the build the paperwork requires. As your agent I negotiate the deal terms, and when the documents need legal drafting or review, Scheer Legal handles it as a separate engagement, so every contract behind your project says what you think it says. More on contracts and structure.

The Team

The right people, matched to your project

A build lives or dies on the team. Part of my job is pairing you with professionals who fit your project and your budget, and coordinating them so the transaction side never holds up the construction side. How I build your deal team.

  • Architects & designers who work in your style and your municipality.
  • Licensed contractors with the track record your project size demands.
  • Lenders who understand construction and lot loans, not just conventional mortgages.
  • Inspectors & engineers for the diligence a new build actually needs.
  • Title & closing professionals to land the transaction cleanly.

Questions

Build & design FAQs

What does an agent add on a new construction purchase?
Builder contracts are written by the builder's lawyers, for the builder. Deposit schedules, completion dates, change-order pricing, and warranty terms all favor the house. I negotiate what can be negotiated and make sure you understand exactly what you're signing before your deposit is at risk.
Can you help with the contracts themselves?
Yes, and that's the point of working with me on a build. As your agent I negotiate the business terms of the deal. When the paperwork needs real legal drafting or review, from builder purchase agreements to construction contracts with your GC, Scheer Legal handles that as a separate engagement. Between the two hats, nothing in your paperwork goes unread.
Can you help me buy land and build on it?
Yes. Lot acquisition is its own diligence problem: zoning, setbacks, utilities, flood zones, and permit history. I handle the purchase side and connect you with the architects, engineers, and contractors who can tell you what the lot will really let you build.
Do you oversee construction?
No. I'm not acting as your contractor, and construction management stays with the professionals licensed to do it. What I do is get the deal documents right, keep the transaction on track, and put the right builders and designers around you.
What about pre-construction condos?
South Florida pre-construction can be a great buy or a very expensive lesson. Reservation agreements, deposit structures, developer reputation, and delivery risk all need a hard look. That's a documents problem, and documents are my home field.
Ready When You Are

Planning a build or a pre-construction buy?

Talk to me before you sign the builder's paperwork. That conversation is worth the most before your deposit moves.
