Why Indian River County Architects & Homeowners Choose First Florida

We are trusted by architects and designers working in Indian River County, both locally and internationally, to execute complex residential projects. Our reputation in this market has been built over five decades by protecting the design, maintaining clear communication, and delivering projects as intended.

Clients building in Indian River County are often experienced homeowners who understand the difference between basic project management and disciplined execution. That distinction is a key reason they choose First Florida.

Our first experience with First Florida Development and Construction was about 20 years ago, and they did excellent work. We didn’t hesitate to ask them for help when we recently needed a very complicated and unusual renovation to blend into an old house. First Florida’s good, honest communication, unfailing willingness to accommodate our needs, and attention to detail and costs involved have made our recent experience excellent, again. We can’t thank Paul Kleinfeld, our project manager, and the rest of First Florida for making our new addition happen in such an outstanding way. Our family would not hesitate to recommend First Florida Development and Construction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What communities in Indian River County does First Florida build in?

Each community has its own architectural standards, permitting requirements, and environmental considerations that we manage from the earliest stages of planning.

Yes. Barrier island construction is a core part of our Indian River County practice. We build oceanfront and lagoon-front homes on the barrier island, accounting for the specific structural, elevation, flood zone, and wind load requirements that come with building in this coastal environment. These considerations are addressed during design and pre-construction, not as afterthoughts during the build.
