Home Construction in Palm Beach

Building a home in Palm Beach is exciting. It is also stressful if you do not have the right builder.

That is where KMR Enterprises comes in.

Why Home Construction in Palm Beach Is Different?

Palm Beach is not like most places.

Homes here must meet strict building codes, flood zone rules, and hurricane requirements. Inspections are detailed. Permits take planning. Materials matter more than people realize.

Many contractors skip over this when explaining their services. We do not.

Here is what makes construction here unique:

  • Hurricane wind load requirements

  • Flood elevation rules in coastal areas

  • Salt air impact on materials

  • Historic and architectural review boards in some neighborhoods

  • Tight lot lines and limited staging space

Miss any of these, and projects stall fast.

Our experience building in Palm Beach helps avoid those problems before they start.

Existing Homes

Our Home Construction Services

New Home Construction

Building a new home gives you control over layout, materials, and how the home lives day to day.

We handle the full process, including:

  • Site preparation and coordination

  • Permit and inspection scheduling

  • Foundation and structural framing

  • Roofing, windows, and exterior systems

  • Electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work

  • Interior finishes and final inspections

You do not need to manage trades or chase updates. We do that for you.


Custom Home Building

Many Palm Beach homeowners want more than a standard floor plan.

Custom home construction allows you to build around how you actually live. That might mean larger outdoor living areas, stronger storm protection, or layouts designed for entertaining.

We work closely with architects, engineers, and designers to turn plans into a finished home that fits Palm Beach living.


Home Additions and Structural Builds

Sometimes moving is not the answer.

Home additions allow you to expand without leaving your neighborhood. This includes:

  • Second story additions

  • Expanded living areas

  • Garage construction

  • Structural reconfigurations

Additions in Palm Beach require careful planning to meet zoning and structural codes. We make sure the new space blends properly with the existing home.


Major Renovations and Rebuilds

Older homes often need more than cosmetic updates.

We handle full scale renovations that involve structural changes, system upgrades, and code compliance. This is common with older Palm Beach properties.

If your home needs major work, we help you understand whether renovation or rebuild makes more sense.


The Home Construction Process Explained

People often ask what actually happens during a build. Here is a simple breakdown.

Step 1: Planning and Review

We review your goals, plans, and budget. If plans are still being developed, we coordinate with your design team to flag issues early.

This part saves time later.


Step 2: Permits and Approvals

Palm Beach permits can be detailed and slow if not handled correctly.

We manage submissions, revisions, and inspections so you do not have to chase paperwork or city offices.


Step 3: Construction Phase

This is where the work happens.

We coordinate all trades, manage timelines, and oversee quality at every stage. You receive updates and walkthroughs as the project moves forward.


Step 4: Final Inspections and Completion

Before handoff, we complete final inspections, address punch list items, and make sure everything meets local code.

You get a finished home that is ready to live in.


Materials That Make Sense for Palm Beach Homes

Not all materials hold up well in coastal South Florida.

We focus on materials designed for heat, humidity, wind, and salt exposure, including:

  • Impact rated windows and doors

  • Reinforced roofing systems

  • Moisture resistant framing and finishes

  • Durable exterior materials

This is not about upselling. It is about building something that lasts.


Common Mistakes Homeowners Make

We see the same problems again and again.

  • Hiring a contractor unfamiliar with Palm Beach codes

  • Starting construction before permits are ready

  • Choosing materials not suited for coastal exposure

  • Underestimating timelines for inspections

These mistakes cost time and money. Avoiding them starts with experience.

Here is what clients value most:

  • Licensed residential contractor in Florida
