What makes coastal construction different from traditional home building?

Coastal homes must meet elevated engineering, permitting, and environmental standards that account for wind speed, flood elevation, and salt exposure. These added measures ensure safety and structural longevity.

Do you handle the CCCL permitting process?

Yes. Adkins Building & Construction manages all CCCL-related submissions and coordinates with state authorities to keep your project compliant and moving forward.

Can existing homes be renovated to meet coastal standards?

Absolutely. We help homeowners retrofit, elevate, or redesign existing properties to meet modern coastal building codes and improve long-term resilience.

What coastal areas do you serve?

We work throughout Bradenton, Sarasota, Longboat Key, Anna Maria Island, Holmes Beach, Lakewood Ranch, and surrounding Gulf Coast communities.

1 | Discover & Design

Every great project begins with understanding your vision. We start with a collaborative consultation to discuss your goals, budget, and property details. From there, our team develops an initial design concept that blends architectural creativity with practical solutions. You’ll have a clear picture of what your new home or space will look like before construction begins.

2 | Plan & Prepare

Once the design is approved, we move into detailed planning. Our team coordinates all necessary engineering, permitting, and material selections to ensure your project is fully prepared for construction. You’ll receive transparent updates, refined cost analysis, and a defined schedule so you always know what to expect before breaking ground.

3 | Build & Deliver

With every detail in place, construction begins under the direction of our skilled project managers and craftsmen. We maintain open communication, quality oversight, and respect for your timeline throughout the build. The process concludes with a thorough final walkthrough, ensuring every element meets our high standards — and yours.

Commitment to
Structural
Integrity

We prioritize resilient, durable builds designed to withstand coastal conditions, from high winds to salt-air corrosion.

Adherence
to CCCL
Guidelines

Our team follows all Coastal Construction Control Line regulations and coordinates directly with state permitting authorities to ensure full compliance.

On-Time and
On-Budget
Service

Our design-build approach keeps your project efficient, transparent, and predictable—no surprises, just results.

Compliance with
Environmental
Restrictions

We honor Florida’s environmental protection standards, building responsibly and sustainably along sensitive shorelines.

Dry Floodproofing

A dry floodproofed home is sealed below the flood level using waterproof membranes, coatings, and watertight shields on doors and windows. This approach prevents water entry entirely and is ideal for structures designed to stay completely dry during flood events.

Wet Floodproofing

Wet floodproofing allows controlled water entry and exit to reduce pressure on structural walls. By using flood-resistant materials and elevating key systems, this method minimizes damage and supports long-term stability in repeat flood zones.
