What to settle before requesting final bids

Use the same checklist with every company so that a low initial number does not conceal missing work or allowances.

  • Confirm Coral Gables Development Services is the correct permit authority for the parcel.
  • Ask whether tree, swale, right-of-way or landscape work creates a separate review.
  • Measure equipment and excavation access before accepting the construction method.
  • Put protection and restoration of walls, drives, landscaping and irrigation in writing.

Coral Gables Pool Builder Q&A

Which permit authority covers a pool project in Coral Gables?

Coral Gables projects require attention to the City's own Development Services process rather than assuming Miami-Dade is the direct permit office. Established lots can also make access, landscape protection and restoration material parts of the proposal.

Should I obtain more than one proposal?

Yes. Give each builder the same desired features and request a written scope so differences in excavation, structure, deck, equipment, drainage, barriers and allowances are visible.

How do I verify the contractor?

Use Florida DBPR's verification portal and match the individual qualifier and business entity to the contract. Also request current insurance information and references for comparable projects.
