Commercial Work Across Delray Beach

From Atlantic Avenue storefronts and Pineapple Grove to the downtown core, Delray commercial work often means coordinating design review alongside the building permit. We build to the city's standards and manage both tracks so they don't hold each other up.

Scope

What a Commercial Build-Out Actually Involves

Occupancy & Egress
Occupant load, exits, and restroom counts sized to your use — the code math that decides what a space can legally hold.
Change of Use
Converting a space to a new use can trigger new egress, accessibility, and systems upgrades. We scope it before you commit.
MEP & Trades
Electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and fire-sprinkler work coordinated and permitted as one, not chased separately.
ADA Compliance
An accessible entrance, route, and restrooms are code — we resolve existing conditions early, not at final inspection.
Permitting & Review
We manage the plan review, correction cycles, and inspections with the local building department start to finish.
Schedule to Opening
We build the plan backward from your opening date and flag long-lead and permitting risks early enough to protect it.

From lease evaluation to certificate of occupancy — one licensed team accountable for the entire build.

A Licensed Local Contractor, Not a Middleman

Keystone is a Florida Certified General Contractor (CGC1541355) that manages commercial build-outs and tenant improvements from evaluation and permitting through final inspection — one accountable team, not a broker handing your project to whoever is cheapest that week.

Local Process

Commercial Permitting in Delray Beach, Handled

Delray Beach runs a fully digital permit process, and many commercial projects also pass through design review. We manage the whole path — plan review, the appearance board, and historic approvals where they apply.

Fully digital submittal

Delray reviews building permits through its ePlans / eServices portal — paper plans are no longer accepted. We prepare and submit the digital package and manage it to issuance.

Site Plan Review & Appearance Board

Substantial commercial exterior work — facades, signage, site changes — can require SPRAB design review. We identify whether your scope triggers it and prepare the submittal.

Historic districts

Projects on or near Atlantic Avenue's historic districts can require Historic Preservation Board approval. We flag that early so it's built into the timeline, not discovered late.

Correction cycles

VERIFY: current figures put commercial initial review around 10-30 business days and tenant improvements around 10-20, with correction cycles of roughly 5-10 business days each. We answer comments directly to keep them short.

Change of use & trade permits

A change of occupancy and the separate electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and fire-sprinkler permits are mapped up front so nothing stalls the build.

Delray Beach Questions

What Owners Ask Us Here

Do I need appearance-board or historic approval in Delray?
Possibly — substantial exterior work can require SPRAB design review, and projects in the Atlantic Avenue historic districts can require Historic Preservation Board approval. We determine that at the start and run the submittal alongside the building permit, not after it.
How long does commercial permitting take in Delray Beach?
Commercial initial review generally runs a few weeks, with correction cycles adding several business days each; design-review approvals can add time on top. We plan for both and keep cycles short with complete submittals. (Current city estimates; confirmed to your scope.)
We're converting a retail space to a restaurant — what changes?
That's a change of use — it can trigger new egress, added restrooms sized to occupancy, an accessible path of travel, grease and hood requirements, and sometimes fire-protection upgrades. We scope it before you sign the lease.
