Commercial Construction
Office, retail, hospitality, and multi-family construction and buildouts — delivered with minimal disruption and full documentation.
Commercial work, run by the book.
From multi-family repositioning to retail and office buildouts, our commercial practice is built on the disciplines stakeholders expect: formal preconstruction, transparent reporting, competitive buyout, and a single accountable team from permit to certificate of occupancy.
We coordinate around your tenants, your lender, and your operating calendar — sequencing work to keep buildings earning and to deliver on the date we committed to.

Key Takeaways
- 01
On an occupied building, tenants stay or leave on the strength of the phase plan rather than the finishes. Circulate it before the first wall opens.
- 02
A commercial permit package moves at the speed of its slowest reviewing discipline. Give every plan-review comment an owner and a due date, the way you would any other scope item.
- 03
On commercial work the documentation is part of the deliverable. A landlord, a tenant, a lender and a building department each need a different document at a different moment, and a project that cannot produce them on demand is late even when the construction is on time.
What Miami Owners Ask About Commercial Construction
Direct answers to the questions we field most often on commercial construction work in Miami-Dade and Broward.
Can a commercial building stay open during a renovation in Miami?
Yes. Unique Construction renovates occupied commercial buildings in Miami-Dade and Broward by phasing the work floor by floor or unit by unit, using temporary partitions and containment, and keeping a protected code-compliant path of egress available at all times.
The practical constraint is sequencing, not construction. Before the first wall opens we produce a phase plan an owner can circulate to tenants: which areas are affected in which order, where access reroutes, and which work happens outside operating hours.
Loud and dust-generating scopes get scheduled around your business hours rather than through them, and each phase is cleaned and closed before the next one starts.
Who pulls the permits for a commercial buildout in Miami-Dade?
Your licensed general contractor does. Unique Construction Inc., a Florida Certified General Contractor, submits and manages commercial permits with the local building department, tracks plan review comments, and schedules inspections through to certificate of occupancy.
Permitting a commercial space usually involves more than one discipline reviewing the same drawings, and comments from any one of them can hold the whole package. We track responses as a scope item with an owner and a date, not as correspondence.
What does a general contractor do differently on commercial work than on a house?
Commercial construction adds stakeholders and documentation that residential work does not have: landlord work letters, tenant leases with commencement dates, lender draw requirements, and accessibility and life-safety review. Unique Construction runs commercial projects with formal preconstruction and reporting built for those parties.
On a house, the owner is the only audience. On a commercial project, the same work has to satisfy a landlord, a tenant, a lender, an insurer, and a building department — each of which needs a different document at a different moment.
