Looking for design–build in Tampa? LRG Contractors Group is a licensed Florida general contractor serving Tampa and the surrounding greater Tampa — from Hyde Park, South Tampa, Davis Islands 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 Tampa specifically, it comes down to local realities: Tampa's range — from protected 1920s Hyde Park and Seminole Heights bungalows to flood-exposed South Tampa and Davis Islands waterfront — means the right kitchen or bath remodel depends entirely on the home's era, neighborhood, and flood zone. Tampa runs its own building department under the Florida Building Code. Bayfront South Tampa and Davis Islands homes sit in FEMA flood zones and the wind-borne-debris region, where substantial-improvement and elevation rules can apply; newer subdivisions add HOA review. We map those rules before drawings start. 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.
Timeline
Design and permitting typically run several weeks to a few months depending on scope, followed by construction. You get one integrated schedule.
