Custom Home Construction

Why Choose Steven Sellers Contracting for Custom Home Construction

• Single-principal custom home building since 1994: Steven Sellers personally directs every custom residence from foundation through final inspection, with no production-builder model, no franchise overlay, and no out-of-market parachute team behind the firm's name.

• 32 years of Palm Beach County coastal construction: 116+ permitted projects across Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Highland Beach, Gulf Stream, and Manalapan, including direct-Intracoastal, oceanfront, and coastal-overlay residences engineered for South Florida marine and storm exposure.

• Florida Building Code 8th Edition and Wind-Borne Debris Region construction embedded in every project: Coastal Palm Beach County falls within the Florida Building Code's Wind-Borne Debris Region, and Steven Sellers Contracting builds to current FBC 8th Edition structural, opening-protection, and roof-deck-attachment standards as the baseline construction floor.

• Sister company All Hurricane Services handles opening protection in-house: Hurricane-rated impact glazing, impact doors, and shutter systems are coordinated directly with All Hurricane Services, eliminating the most common handoff failure on Palm Beach County custom residences between the general contractor and the opening-protection trade.

• Vetted Palm Beach County subcontractor bench refined across three decades: The same structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, roofing, masonry, glazing, millwork, and finish trades, project after project, with established quality standards and known performance under Steven Sellers' supervision.

• Florida Certified General Contractor License CGC057260: The credential issued in 1994 and continuously active, required to qualify, permit, and execute custom residential construction on Palm Beach County projects above the $75,000 threshold.

What's Included in Custom Home Construction

• Pre-Construction Coordination: Site analysis, permit pathway mapping, scope definition, cost-engineered budget, and schedule construction before any trade is mobilized.

• Architectural and Design-Team Coordination: Direct coordination with the homeowner's architect, structural engineer, interior designer, landscape architect, and pool consultant from schematic design through final inspection.

• Foundation and Structural Construction: Foundation, framing, structural steel, masonry, and load-path construction engineered to Florida Building Code 8th Edition and South Florida coastal soil conditions.

• Envelope and Hurricane-Rated Opening Protection: Roof system, exterior cladding, waterproofing, and impact-rated glazing and impact doors — carrying Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA — coordinated through All Hurricane Services.

• Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Low-Voltage Systems: Modern HVAC distribution, electrical service and lighting, plumbing and water management, low-voltage infrastructure, and home automation routing engineered for the residence.

• Interior Finish Construction: Millwork, cabinetry, stone and tile, hardwood and natural stone flooring, plaster and paint, and finish carpentry executed under Steven Sellers' direct supervision.

• Pool, Outdoor Living, and Site Work: Pool and spa construction, exterior hardscape, landscape coordination, driveway and entry work, and site drainage integrated with the residence envelope.

• Permitting, Inspections, Closeout, and Workmanship Warranty: Permits coordinated with Palm Beach County and the relevant municipal building department, all required inspections scheduled and passed, complete closeout documentation, and a Steven Sellers Contracting workmanship warranty.

The Custom Home Construction Process

1. Anchors in a homeowner-and-architect alignment meeting: Steven Sellers meets with the homeowner and the architect of record to confirm scope, design intent, target completion window, and decision-making protocol before any drawing review begins.

2. Pre-construction and feasibility: Steven Sellers Contracting executes site analysis, permit pathway mapping, scope definition, cost engineering, and schedule construction, with the deliverable reviewed against the homeowner's target before construction is contracted.

3. Design-team coordination and constructability review: The firm coordinates with the architect, structural engineer, MEP consultants, interior designer, landscape architect, and pool consultant, performing constructability review and value engineering before permit submittal.

4. Permitting and subcontractor mobilization: Permits are pulled with Palm Beach County or the municipal building department, the vetted trade bench is contracted, and the project mobilizes against the critical-path schedule.

5. Foundation, structural, and envelope construction: Foundation, framing, structural steel, masonry, roofing, and exterior envelope are constructed under direct Steven Sellers supervision, with impact-rated opening protection coordinated through All Hurricane Services.

6. Systems installation and interior rough-in: HVAC, electrical, plumbing, low-voltage, and home automation systems are installed against the design intent, with rough-in inspections scheduled and passed.

7. Interior finish and exterior completion: Millwork, cabinetry, stone and tile, flooring, plaster and paint, finish carpentry, pool and outdoor living, hardscape, and landscape are executed in sequence under finish supervision.

8. Final inspection, certificate of occupancy, and homeowner handoff: Final inspections are passed, certificate of occupancy is issued, and the homeowner receives the closeout package including permits, warranties, equipment manuals, as-built documentation, and a Steven Sellers Contracting workmanship warranty.

Custom home construction in Palm Beach County is the discipline that separates the firms that have built coastal residences across three Florida hurricane cycles from the firms that have not. Steven Sellers Contracting has been building custom homes in Boca Raton continuously since 1994 under Florida Certified General Contractor License CGC057260, with 116+ permitted projects across the Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Highland Beach, Gulf Stream, and Manalapan markets, and a sister company in All Hurricane Services that handles the opening protection most general contractors subcontract twice over. The interior Old Floresta custom residence, the coastal Highland Beach commission, and the direct-Intracoastal Gulf Stream estate share one principal of record from the first homeowner meeting through the certificate of occupancy, and that name on the contract is the same name on the contract in 1994.
