Services
Commercial Construction
In our commercial construction division, we offer a range of services tailored to meet the diverse needs of businesses and commercial properties. From 100,000lb excavators and land-based cranes to mini excavators and skid steers, we carry the equipment, skills, and knowledge to handle projects of any size and shape.
Our team is ready to handle all aspects of your commercial project, from design and planning to completion and long-term maintenance. Whether you need a mobile home set up quickly and securely or a steel building erected for your commercial space, we have the skills and knowledge to deliver exceptional results.
How the work goes
1. Plan the project
We start on site with the people who will use the building. What goes up (a steel building, a mobile home, a new pad, a parking or laydown area), what has to come down first, where trucks and equipment can get in, and where the utilities run. Design and planning are part of what we do, so the plan and the build come from the same team.
2. Permits and approvals
Constructing, enlarging, altering, moving or demolishing a building or structure in Florida requires a permit from the building official before work starts. We prepare the permit package for the scope we carry, coordinate with your engineer or architect where drawings are needed, and schedule the inspections as the work reaches each stage.
3. Mobilize the right equipment
Our fleet runs from 100,000 lb excavators and land-based cranes down to mini excavators and skid steers. A wide-open industrial parcel and a fenced lot between two occupied buildings call for different machines, so we size the equipment to the site rather than the other way around.
4. Build, then maintain
We handle every aspect of the project through completion, and we stay available for long-term maintenance afterward. For a business that also owns a seawall, dock or boat basin, the same company can carry the marine work too.
What our commercial division covers
Langley Coastal is a licensed Florida general contractor (CGC1538377) with a commercial division built around heavy equipment and site-based work. The projects we are set up for fall into a few groups.
Steel buildings. Pre-engineered metal buildings for shops, storage, equipment barns and commercial space, from the pad and foundation through erection.
Mobile home setup. Delivery coordination, pad and pier work, and a secure set so the home is ready for hookups and final inspection.
Site preparation. Clearing, grading, fill and building pads on raw or previously developed land, and demolition of aging commercial structures that stand in the way of the new use.
Commercial waterfront. Businesses on the water need the same seawalls, docks, pilings and dredging that homeowners do, at larger scale. Our marine crews and barges handle those projects alongside the land work.
Commercial pools. Larger aquatic centers and amenity pools for properties that need more than a backyard pool.
Equipment sized to the site
Most commercial delays come from equipment that does not fit the job. A 100,000 lb class excavator moves a demolition or a mass grading job quickly, but it needs room to swing and a route in that will not damage pavement or neighbors. Mini excavators and skid steers fit through gates and between buildings and can work inside an occupied property with the business still open. Land-based cranes set steel, trusses and precast pieces where a mobile crane rental would otherwise be a separate contract.
Because we own the range rather than a single size, the plan is built around what the site can take: staging areas, haul routes, ground protection, hours the business can tolerate noise, and how to keep customers and employees clear of the work zone.
Mobile home installation is its own licensed trade in Florida. State law says no person may perform mobile home installation unless licensed under section 320.8249, regardless of any local license, and an installation decal with the installer's license number is affixed to the home before it is set. Ask how installer licensing is handled on your project before the home is delivered. [law.justia.com]
After the build: long-term maintenance
Commercial properties keep needing work after the certificate of occupancy: a roof section, a concrete apron that has heaved, a new pad for added equipment, a seawall cap that has started to spall. We offer long-term maintenance on the projects we build so the people who know the property are the ones who come back to it.
Family-owned and operated across two generations, with 35+ years of licensed construction expertise, we work in Broward, Palm Beach, Miami-Dade and Manatee counties.
Questions we hear
Do you handle permits and inspections on commercial projects?
Yes, for the scope we carry. Florida requires a permit before anyone constructs, enlarges, alters, repairs, moves or demolishes a building or structure, and the inspections that go with it. We prepare the application, coordinate with your engineer or architect where signed drawings are required, and schedule each inspection as the work reaches that stage so the job does not stall waiting on the building department.

What size commercial projects do you take on?
From a single mobile home set to a steel building with full site preparation, and demolition of aging commercial structures in between. Our equipment runs from 100,000 lb excavators and land-based cranes to mini excavators and skid steers, which is what lets the same crew handle both a large open parcel and a small infill lot. If a project needs something we do not do, we say so at the first meeting.
Can you work on a tight site with neighbors or an open business?
Yes. That is what the mini excavators and skid steers are for: they fit through gates and between buildings and can work inside an occupied property while the business stays open. We plan staging, haul routes, ground protection and working hours around the neighbors and your customers before the first machine arrives.
Do you combine marine and commercial work, like a seawall or dock for a business?
Yes. Waterfront businesses, marinas and multi-unit properties need seawall repair, docks, pilings and dredging just as homeowners do, only larger. Our marine crews and barges handle that work, and our commercial division handles the buildings, pads and paving on the upland side, so one licensed contractor carries the whole property. See our [[marine services|/marine]], [[seawall repair|/services/seawall-repair]] and [[dredging|/services/dredging]] pages.
Who is allowed to set up a mobile home in Florida?
A state-licensed mobile home installer. Florida law says no person may perform mobile home installation unless licensed under section 320.8249, regardless of any local license, and an installation decal showing the installer's license number goes on the home before it is set. When you ask us about a mobile home setup, confirm with us how the installer licensing is handled for your specific project. [source]
Do you offer maintenance after the project is finished?
Yes. Long-term maintenance is part of our commercial offering, from a leaking roof section or damaged concrete apron to a seawall cap that has started to spall. The team that built the property is the one that comes back to it, and we work across Broward, Palm Beach, Miami-Dade and Manatee counties.
What our customers say
Exceptional work based out of pompano beach/South Florida. Great communication and easy process for my new dock and seawall repair.
