A Licensed Commercial General Contractor for South Florida Business Owners and Developers

Who Thomas Homes Builds For

Your business deserves a commercial general contractor who treats your schedule, your investment, and your brand as carefully as you do. In Broward County, we build for family-owned retailers, medical groups, restaurateurs, office landlords, and developers shaping corridors from Downtown Fort Lauderdale to Parkland and Weston. As your partner, we blend hospitality-level finishes with operational durability.

From impact storefront systems and custom millwork to acoustic ceilings and low-maintenance flooring, your space opens polished and ready for business. See how we approach projects as a Broward County commercial GC with a calm, organized process.

Florida GC License CBC#1261820 and Commercial Scope

Thomas Homes is a licensed commercial contractor Florida operating under CBC#1261820. You can confirm licensing anytime with Florida DBPR. We carry the coverage and experience your lender and landlord require.

Our commercial scope includes shell buildings, interior build-outs, medical and professional offices, restaurants, retail suites, and structured parking. As Broward commercial construction contractors, we manage preconstruction, permit sets, procurement, and field execution with steady communication.

16 Years of High-End Construction Applied to Commercial Projects

For 16+ years, your neighbors have trusted our family to craft luxury residences with stone reception desks, custom cabinetry, and precision lighting. That same level of fit and finish now supports your brand experience, whether it is a refined lobby or a durable back-of-house corridor. Learn more in our family-owned builder story.

Transparency matters on a commercial timeline. You will see daily updates, selections, and approvals through Buildertrend so your team, architect, and landlord stay aligned without surprises.

Commercial Project Types Thomas Homes Delivers

Ground-Up Commercial Construction

From sitework and utilities to topping out and closeout, we deliver ground-up commercial construction ready for staff and customers. Structure types include CMU, steel, and tilt-wall with hurricane-rated assemblies, impact glazing, and efficient MEP systems for South Florida conditions.

Early collaboration with your design team helps align programming, parking counts, and visibility on arterial roads. When you want an owner’s advocate, our South Florida construction management support keeps design, budget, and schedule synchronized.

Tenant Build-Outs and Interior Fit-Outs

As your commercial tenant build-out contractor, we coordinate closely with landlords, property managers, and center guidelines across Broward. Permit-ready drawings, phasing plans, and landlord criteria packages accelerate approvals without sacrificing brand standards.

From feature walls and branded millwork to kitchen lines and health department submittals, interiors open turnkey. See how disciplined coordination protects timelines in our guide on the role of construction management.

Retail, Hospitality, Restaurant, and Office Spaces

Retail on Las Olas, dining near the beaches, and professional offices across Broward benefit from clean detailing and smooth inspections. Restaurant builds include grease systems, hoods, and washable surfaces, while offices focus on acoustics, lighting control, and resilient finishes to support productivity and commercial construction efficiency.

If your plan centers on Downtown, explore our experience as a Fort Lauderdale commercial GC to see how we stage deliveries and protect pedestrian flow.

Commercial Additions and Renovations

When growth calls for more square footage, we execute commercial additions and renovations that tie cleanly into your live systems. Facade refreshes, lobby reconfigurations, medical suite expansions, and canopy additions proceed with dust control and noise windows tailored to your hours.

We phase work to keep your doors open or limit downtime to off-hours. See our approach to coastal corridors as a Pompano Beach commercial GC.

Preconstruction, Budgeting, and Scheduling for Commercial Projects

Site Evaluation and Feasibility

Strong feasibility starts with site realities in Broward County: utilities capacity, flood elevations near canals and the Intracoastal, egress, delivery access, and parking ratios. We flag constraints early so your architect can design efficiently and your pro forma holds.

From bustling corridors by Las Olas to comparable requirements in nearby markets like Las Olas commercial work and Palm Beach commercial GC, we bring regional awareness that shortens approvals and reduces redesign.

Budgeting and Value Engineering

We build clear budgets with alternates, long-lead tracking, and practical value engineering that preserves your brand. As Broward commercial construction contractors, we source impact storefronts, lighting packages, and mechanical systems that balance lifecycle cost with aesthetics.

Budgets, schedules, and submittals live in Buildertrend for full visibility. See perspective on team selection in our Fort Lauderdale builder guidance.

Scheduling Around Your Opening Date

Your schedule drives ours. We map critical path milestones for permits, inspections, long-lead procurement, and merchant onboarding, then sequence work to meet your target opening with options for night or weekend shifts.

Weekly OAC meetings and daily logs through Buildertrend keep decisions moving. Tight in-town timelines, such as Rio Vista construction support, benefit from this steady cadence.

Commercial Permitting, Zoning, and Code Compliance

Site Plan, Zoning, and Landlord Approvals

We prepare complete submittals for Broward County municipalities, coordinating site plans, civil, life safety, and utilities alongside architectural and MEP. Our team manages reviewer comments and resubmittals to protect your timeline and financing milestones.

Landlord approvals move in parallel with signage packages, storefront details, and criteria checklists. For neighborhood and waterfront sites, we provide Coral Ridge permitting help with attention to access and visibility.

Fire Safety, ADA, and Florida Building Code Requirements

Fire alarms, sprinklers, UL assemblies, and health department pathways for restaurants are coordinated to meet inspections cleanly. We align details like clear widths, hardware, counters, and restroom layouts with ADA and Florida Building Code requirements. Our involvement with GCBA keeps us connected to local best practices and contractor standards.

South Florida wind and water shape material choices. Impact glazing, rated doors, elevated equipment, and corrosion-resistant hardware protect your investment and keep approvals straightforward.

Inspections and Certificates of Occupancy

We schedule and sequence trade inspections, then conduct pre-inspection walkthroughs to minimize rechecks. Closeout binders include as-builts, warranties, O&M manuals, and training so your team can operate confidently on day one.

You can review our standing any time through the BBB. For suburban workplaces, we coordinate smooth TCO and CO steps like Weston commercial inspections with clear punchlists.

Building Around Active Businesses and Tenants

Planning an Occupied Renovation

Your operations come first. We phase work, create dust and odor control plans, and schedule loud activities after hours so staff and customers remain comfortable.

Temporary partitions, protected paths, and clear signage reduce disruption while trades progress efficiently. Explore our phased approach in Parkland renovation expertise.

Tenant Coordination and Lease Compliance

We review leases, work letters, and landlord criteria, then align submittals, insurance, and MEP tie-ins to keep your compliance clean. Multi-location owners with portfolios across Broward often coordinate with neighboring counties, supported by our Palm Beach County commercial and Boca Raton lease projects.

Clear communication boards onsite and weekly Buildertrend updates keep your leasing team and store leadership informed at every step.

Site Safety and Jobsite Management

We maintain fenced perimeters, clean access routes, and signed delivery windows so your parking and storefront stay usable. Toolbox talks, OSHA training, and permit postings remain active throughout construction.

A full-time superintendent coordinates inspections, logistics, and daily photos through Buildertrend. Regional coordination extends when needed, including Miami-Dade project coordination for cross-county stakeholders.

Choosing Thomas Homes to build our home was the best decision we could have made. The team delivered a truly turnkey experience, guiding us through every step with professionalism and great creativity. The craftsmanship is beautiful —every finish, fixture, and design choice met our high standards. Our home doesn’t just look beautiful—it feels comfortable, welcoming, and perfectly suited to our lifestyle. They were so easy to work with, extremely responsive to my calls and offered sound suggestions and solutions to our ideas. Every step was on a timeline to set us up for success. Thomas Homes coordinated all aspects including interior design, lighting, sound, pool, even landscaping into an easy turnkey process. They turned our vision into reality. Actually, the finished product is better than we imagined. We are on an unusually shaped lot and they maximized the house and outdoor space. Our friends and family have been wowed by our house and my husband and I are thrilled with the end result, a beautiful, well-built and timeless home.

We engaged Thomas Homes to provide a bid for the construction of a new single family residence. While we ultimately ended up not selecting Thomas Homes for the project, it truly wasn't due to a lack of confidence that Robby, Tom, Vince, and team would build us a beautiful and well constructed home. Communication was great and the references provided spoke well of their prior of the experiences with Thomas Homes. Would certainly consider them again for any future work or recommendations to family/friends.

Building or renovating a home is one of the biggest decisions anyone can make, and Thomas Homes made the entire experience seamless, transparent, and enjoyable. From start to finish, their team treated us like family. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in their work are second to none—the finishes are beautiful, the designs are thoughtful, and the quality truly speaks for itself. Beyond that, their communication is outstanding. Using Buildertrend, we always knew exactly where things stood in terms of budget, construction, and timeline. No surprises, just a smooth and professional process. What impressed me most was the pride Thomas Homes takes in their work. You can tell they genuinely care about the families they build for, and that level of commitment is rare in this industry. Whether you’re remodeling a bathroom or building your dream home from the ground up, I can’t recommend Thomas Homes highly enough. They are reliable, trustworthy, and deliver results that exceed expectations.
