Design. Build. Deliver.
Design-Build
We work alongside your architect — or recommend one from our network — to take a design from concept to a buildable, budgeted plan. The result is fewer surprises, faster permits, and a schedule that holds.
Construction
Every trade on the project is part of our own workforce — framing, concrete, mechanical, millwork, marble, finish. One schedule, one quality standard, one principal accountable from breaking ground to final walk-through.
Delivery
Certificate of Occupancy, as-built documentation, warranty, and a meticulous punch process. We don't leave the site until the home performs the way we promised it would.
The custom-home programs we deliver.
Custom-home work in Miami spans a wider range of project types than most clients expect — ground-up builds, whole-house gut renovations, hurricane-rated coastal residences, and historic-district restorations all sit under the same banner. The execution differs in every one. We deliver against all of them.
Ground-Up Custom Homes
From a vacant lot — or a tear-down — through Certificate of Occupancy. We integrate with your architect from the schematic phase, sequence permits, manage every structural and finish trade in-house, and hand over a documented home with as-builts and warranty. Most ground-up projects are single-family residences in the 6,000–15,000 sq ft range, though we've delivered larger.
Whole-House Gut Renovations
Down-to-studs renovation of an existing home — typically a re-imagined estate where the structure stays but everything inside changes. We re-engineer mechanicals, re-plan layouts, re-clad facades, and re-finish every room. The complexity often exceeds a ground-up build because conditions are discovered as we open the building.
Coastal & Hurricane-Rated Builds
Waterfront residences in Key Biscayne, Coconut Grove, and the barrier island neighborhoods carry NOA (Notice of Acceptance) requirements for impact glazing, roofing assemblies, and structural detailing. We work routinely under these standards and integrate them with the architect's design intent rather than treating them as an afterthought.
Historic-District Builds
Coral Gables, Miami Springs, and other historic-overlay neighborhoods have additional review processes, exterior material requirements, and setback rules. We've completed projects under HEPB (Historic & Environmental Preservation Board) review and know how to navigate both the design constraints and the permit timeline.
Miami-Dade & Broward, neighborhood-aware.
Every Miami neighborhood has its own permitting culture, design vocabulary, and construction reality. We’ve worked across the high-end residential corridor for more than a decade and bring that local context to every project — so the build moves smoothly from drawings through CO without surprises.
Coral Gables
Historic-district overlays, mature tree canopies, traditional Mediterranean and contemporary mixed throughout.
Pinecrest
Larger lots, estates with deep setbacks, often with detached pavilions and pool houses integrated into the program.
Key Biscayne
Coastal exposure, NOA-rated assemblies, hurricane structural detailing as a baseline rather than an option.
Brickell
Penthouse and high-rise gut renovations, condo-board approval processes, and tight delivery windows for material handling.
Miami Beach
Waterfront and Sunset Islands work — flood elevation, salt-air detailing, and design review for façades.
Wynwood & Design District
Adaptive reuse of industrial buildings, exposed structural concrete, mixed-use programs, and commercial-grade finishes.
Fort Lauderdale
Las Olas Isles, Rio Vista, and the waterfront estate corridor — coastal detailing, dock and seawall coordination, and Broward County permitting throughout.
Boca Raton
Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, Old Floresta, and the Boca beachfront — large estates, gated-community design review, and full landscape integration.
Palm Beach
Town of Palm Beach work — strict ARCOM design review, traditional architectural vocabularies, and coastal hurricane standards across both ground-up and gut renovations.
West Palm Beach
El Cid, Flamingo Park, and the SoSo neighborhoods — historic-district context with modern luxury programs, coordinated with Palm Beach County permitting.
What clients ask before they break ground.
How long does a custom home take to build in Miami?
It varies per project. Schedules are shaped by size, finish complexity, structural systems, neighborhood permitting, and how much pre-construction planning happened before breaking ground. We give every client a project-specific schedule once the design is locked and trades are scoped — and we hold to it.
How much does a custom home cost in Miami?
It varies per project. Cost is shaped by size, structural complexity, mechanical scope, finish level, marble and millwork integration, landscape, and lot conditions. We estimate line-item by line-item, not by square-foot rule of thumb. For a project-specific estimate, reach out — we walk you through what shapes the number for your home.
Where do you build?
Across Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Monroe (Florida Keys — Key Largo, Islamorada, Marathon), Collier, and Lee counties — including Miami, Coral Gables, Pinecrest, Key Biscayne, Brickell, Miami Beach, Coconut Grove, Bal Harbour, Wynwood, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, Palm Beach, Wellington, and surrounding neighborhoods. We've taken on coastal residences with hurricane-rated structural requirements, historic-overlay homes under HEPB and ARCOM review, and waterfront estates throughout the Florida corridor.
Do you work with our architect, or do you have one?
Both. Many clients come with an architect already engaged; others ask us to recommend one for the project's style, scale, and program. We've worked with the major Miami architecture firms across both contemporary and traditional vocabularies. The earlier we're engaged in design, the more we can do to keep the project on schedule and on budget.
What's your team like on a custom home?
One principal walks the project with you from day one to handoff — no mid-project handoffs and no rotating points of contact. Behind that principal is our in-house team of 150+ trades, covering framing, concrete, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, millwork, marble, tile, drywall, and finish. We do not subcontract structural, mechanical, or finish work.
How are budgets controlled?
Estimates are line-item and transparent, revisited at agreed milestones rather than buried in a single bid. Change orders are written and approved before work happens, never after. We share where money is going so trade-offs are made with full information rather than discovered at the end of the project.
Can we live in the home during construction?
For ground-up builds, no — there's no home to live in yet. For whole-house gut renovations, almost never — the structural and mechanical scope is incompatible with safe occupancy. For partial renovations or specific room programs, sometimes; we plan dust containment, contained access, and core systems carefully when that's the constraint.
Do you build to NOA / hurricane standards?
Yes — for any project on the coast or in a wind-sensitive zone, NOA-rated impact glazing, roofing assemblies, and structural detailing are baseline. We integrate hurricane standards into the architect's design intent from schematic forward, rather than retrofitting at the end. Many of our Key Biscayne and waterfront residences were built specifically to those standards.
What about permits in Miami-Dade?
Miami-Dade permitting is its own discipline — review cycles, neighborhood overlays, and historic-district approvals each add steps. We manage the permit set from drawings through CO and have established working relationships with the relevant building departments. Permit timeline varies project-to-project; we share the realistic schedule once the project is scoped.
Do you handle landscape and pools?
Yes — landscape and pool design are often where the home meets the lot, and we manage them as part of the construction schedule. We work with landscape architects and pool designers regularly and integrate their work with the structural, irrigation, and mechanical scope so nothing has to be reopened after handoff.
What's the warranty?
Every home we deliver is covered by a warranty package that includes structural, mechanical, and finish components. Specifics vary by project scope; we walk through the warranty document at handoff alongside the as-builts, manuals, and care guides for marble, millwork, and finishes.
What makes Moros different from other Miami builders?
Three things, all visible on the project: every trade is part of our own team — no subcontracting structural, mechanical, or finish; one principal stays with you start to finish; and marble fabrication runs through Moros Marbles, our marble brand, so the most demanding material in the home is handled in-house alongside the rest of the build.
