Looking for design–build in Clearwater? LRG Contractors Group is a licensed Florida general contractor serving Clearwater and the surrounding Pinellas County — from Countryside, Skycrest, Morningside and beyond. Design, engineering, permits, and construction under one roof — one contract, no finger-pointing.
The traditional model — hire a designer, then bid the drawings to contractors — is where most Tampa Bay projects go wrong: designs that don't match the budget, change orders when the builder finds problems, and finger-pointing when something's off. Design–build fixes the structural flaw by putting design and construction on the same team.
For Clearwater specifically, it comes down to local realities: Clearwater's mix of inland 1950s–70s block ranches and salt-exposed beach and Island Estates waterfront means kitchen and bath remodels here have to be specified for both dated floor plans and coastal humidity. Clearwater runs its own building department under the Florida Building Code, and the beach and Island Estates fall squarely in the wind-borne-debris and coastal high-hazard zones, so window, door, and addition work carries impact and elevation requirements. Beach condos often add HOA architectural review. We design and permit your design–build around exactly those conditions.

Design–Build cost
Because design and budget develop together, you avoid the classic trap of paying for a design you can't afford to build. Pricing is fixed-scope after the design phase.
