Ground-up construction from site work to CO
New buildings, delivered by the same single point of contact that handles everything else on the property.
Ground-Up Builds · Greater Central FloridaGround-up construction starts before the first stake goes in the ground: site work, utilities, and foundations set the pace for everything that follows. Landmark manages that sequence end to end, coordinating civil, structural, and building trades under one schedule instead of stitching together separate contracts for site work and vertical construction.
The risk on this work is front-loaded, and none of it is visible in a rendering. Permitting timelines, utility coordination, and whatever is actually under the site are where ground-up schedules are won or lost. Getting through the municipality, getting utilities committed to a date, and finding out what the ground is really like are the items that decide whether the rest of the schedule was ever realistic.
Once the project goes vertical it becomes a sequencing problem. Foundations gate the shell, the shell gates the envelope, the envelope gates the interior trades, and a single trade running two weeks late moves everything behind it by two weeks. Running concrete and framing with in-house crews takes two of the most schedule-critical trades off the list of things that have to be chased down every week.
For owners already using Landmark for maintenance or tenant improvements, a ground-up build stays under the same relationship: one point of contact, one set of paperwork, and a team that already knows the property and how the owner likes to work. After occupancy that continues, because the contractor who built it is the one answering the facilities calls.

Questions, answered
What counts as a ground-up build?
Any project starting from raw or cleared land, from site work and foundations through a completed, occupiable building.
Do you handle site work and utilities, or just the building?
Both. Landmark coordinates site work, utilities, and vertical construction under one contract.
Can you build from my architect’s drawings, or do I need design-build?
Either. Landmark builds from completed drawings, or can bring design-build coordination under the same contract if you’d rather one team own both.
How does a ground-up project connect to ongoing property maintenance?
The same relationship carries through after occupancy, so the team that built the property is the one you call for facilities work afterward.
What usually delays a ground-up project?
Almost always the front end rather than the building: permitting timelines, utility commitments, and whatever turns up in the ground once the site is opened. None of it shows in a rendering, and all of it decides whether the rest of the schedule was ever realistic.
Do you handle the process through certificate of occupancy?
Yes. Inspections and the path to CO are managed inside the contract, so the handoff at the end is a completed, occupiable building with its paperwork rather than a punch list and a phone number.
