Building in Sarasota
The barrier islands and the waterfront neighborhoods support custom residential construction at budgets and specification levels well above the regional norm, along with a substantial condominium market. Coastal construction requirements, elevation, and the durability demands of a marine environment all add cost and complexity before a single design decision is made.
High-specification work carries high-specification disputes. Owners are engaged and exacting, allowances and selections drive cost, and the difference between a defect and a disappointment is often a question about what the contract documents actually required.
Condominium and multi-unit work
Alongside the custom market sits a large stock of multi-unit coastal buildings requiring substantial ongoing work to envelopes, balconies and structure. Those projects are commissioned by associations, funded by owners and delivered by contractors on occupied buildings, which is a combination that produces disputes about scope, cost and responsibility as a matter of course.
