Sweet Home Missionary Baptist Church | 39,000 SF | $7.8M Budget | Miami, FL
Dennis delivered our building to us on schedule, within the agreed upon range of value and with no liens. The project was an $8,000,000 two-story facility and when it was completed, an independent appraiser valued our new building at over $10,000,000. His follow through and attention to detail was exceptional.

Frequently Asked Questions About General Contractors in Florida
What does a general contractor do?
A general contractor manages all aspects of a construction project, including hiring and coordinating subcontractors, obtaining permits, scheduling inspections, managing the budget, and ensuring the work meets building codes and contract specifications. GK Development Group provides general contracting services for commercial, institutional, and residential projects throughout Florida.
How do I verify a contractor is licensed in Florida?
Florida contractors must hold a license through the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). You can verify any contractor’s license status on the DBPR website. GK Development Group maintains an active Certified General Contractor license with statewide authority to perform construction work.
What is the difference between a general contractor and a construction manager?
A general contractor typically enters into a contract to build a project for a fixed price or cost-plus fee.

GK Development Group offers both general contracting and construction management services depending on the project structure and owner preferences.
