We Understand Local Virginia Beach Conditions & Costs

Coastal Environment and Flood Risk - The city's proximity to the ocean means elevated foundations, flood insurance, and special storm-resistant materials are all commonplace.

Hurricane-Resistant Construction - Structures must withstand high winds and violent storms.

Stormwater and Drainage Compliance - Virginia Beach enforces the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act which places limits on impervious surfaces, maintains tree saving requirements, and aims to retain stormwater.

Sandy Soils - Sandy soil requires deeper footings or engineered slabs to prevent shifting.

Labor Availability - There is a high demand for labor due to growth and tourism.

High Costs - Design, construction, and labor costs are all increased due to high demand and rising inflation.
