Frequently Asked Questions

The firm provides six core services for Florida real estate projects: project management, construction management, permitting and entitlements (through sister firm Apice Engineering), due diligence and feasibility, owner's representation, and development consulting. Each service can be engaged independently or as part of an end-to-end delivery engagement.

Yes. Construa LLC operates under Florida licensed general contractor registration , valid statewide. This license authorizes the firm to provide construction management, pull permits, and oversee construction work across all Florida jurisdictions.

The firm is licensed statewide and serves projects across Florida. Primary concentration is in Central Florida (Orlando, Kissimmee, Daytona), Tampa Bay, and South Florida. The office is located at 601 N Magnolia Ave, Orlando, FL 32801.

Apice Engineering & Architecture is a sister firm under the same principal, Daniel Jorge. It provides licensed structural engineering, architecture, and permitting services. This structure means the team that designs and permits the project is the same team that manages and builds it — eliminating the handoff failures that occur when those functions are split across unrelated vendors.

The work is most valuable on projects where the cost of getting it wrong is high: ground-up residential and mixed-use development, multifamily repositioning, complex permitting situations, pre-acquisition due diligence for investors, and owner's representation for out-of-state principals or family offices. The common thread is responsibility and consequence — not industry title.

Start with a contact form submission or call directly at (407) 731-0083. The first conversation is for fit, context, and next steps — not a sales funnel. Be specific about the project, timeline, and what outcome you are trying to protect or create. Typical response within one business day.

Fees are structured based on scope, complexity, and duration. Most engagements use one of three models: monthly retainer (for advisory and ongoing PM), fixed fee (for defined-scope diligence or permitting), or percentage of construction cost (for CM engagements). The first conversation establishes scope before any fee discussion. There is no charge for the initial fit call.

Yes — this is one of the most common engagement types. Owner's representation is specifically designed for out-of-state principals, family offices, and investors who need licensed, independent oversight on Florida projects without being on the ground. Reporting, inspections, and decision support are handled remotely with regular documentation.

Project management covers the full lifecycle from pre-construction through closeout — planning, design coordination, consultant management, budget oversight, schedule management, and stakeholder reporting. Construction management focuses specifically on the build phase under a GC license — subcontractor oversight, means and methods, quality control, field execution, and inspection coordination. Many engagements include both.

Yes. Due diligence and feasibility engagements are designed for exactly this. The evaluation covers site conditions, access and utilities, zoning and entitlement status, construction cost modeling, schedule realism, and regulatory risk — all before capital is committed. This is especially valuable for investors underwriting Florida deals from out of state.
