Commercial General Contractor in Miami, FL

Commercial General Contractor in Miami

If you are looking for a commercial general contractor in Miami, you want a team that shows up, communicates clearly and finishes what it starts. R&D Construction & Roofing, LLC is a family-owned, licensed and insured general contractor and roofing contractor serving commercial properties in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Monroe and the Tampa Bay area.

We work with property managers, facility managers, building owners and tenants on everything from a single suite renovation to larger capital improvement projects. Because we are licensed as both a general contractor and a roofing contractor, we can handle the building envelope and the interior under one roof, and one contract.

What We Do as a General Contractor

  • Tenant build-outs: Office, retail, medical and restaurant spaces built to the tenant’s needs and the landlord’s standards. Learn more about our commercial tenant build-outs.
  • Capital improvements: Upgrades that protect and add value to a property, such as roofing, building envelope work and common-area renovations.
  • Design-build: One team responsible for design and construction, which simplifies coordination. See our design and build services.
  • Construction management: Scheduling, subcontractor coordination, budget tracking and quality control on your behalf.
  • Construction consulting: Help with scoping, budgeting and planning before you commit to a project.
  • Impact windows and doors: Replacement and installation of impact-rated openings for commercial buildings.
  • General commercial construction: Renovations, demolition and interior work. Visit our commercial construction services page for details.

When It Helps to Have One Contractor

Many commercial projects touch more than one trade. A tenant build-out may need new rooftop HVAC curbs. A capital improvement plan may combine a re-roof with impact windows. A leak may damage ceilings and finishes inside. When the roofer and the general contractor are separate companies, the owner ends up coordinating between them and sorting out who is responsible for what.

With R&D, the commercial roofing and the construction work are handled by the same team. That means one point of contact, one schedule and one party accountable for the result.

How Our Projects Run

  • Walkthrough and scope: We visit the site, listen to what you need and review any drawings, lease requirements or landlord criteria.
  • Budget and schedule: You get a clear written proposal with scope, pricing and a realistic timeline.
  • Design and permitting: We coordinate with designers and engineers as needed and handle permit submittals.
  • Construction: Our team manages the work and the trades, keeps the site safe and keeps you updated.
  • Inspections and closeout: We coordinate inspections, complete the punch list and turn the space over ready to use.

We regularly work in occupied buildings and plan around tenants, business hours and building rules.

Building in South Florida

Construction in South Florida comes with its own requirements. Miami-Dade and Broward are in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone under the Florida Building Code, which sets stricter standards for roofing, windows, doors and other exterior components. Many of those products need a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) and must be installed according to that approval.

Permitting timelines can vary by municipality, and inspections are thorough. Planning for that up front, and knowing which approvals a project needs, helps avoid delays later. Heat, humidity and the rainy season also affect scheduling, especially for exterior work, so we plan accordingly.
