Waterfront Home Builder Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale keeps more navigable residential water than any city in Florida, and the addresses sitting on it are the reason people move here. Hendricks Isle, Nurmi Isles, the Seven Isles, and the canals off Rio Vista all offer something the mainland cannot, which is deep water at the seawall and a short run to the Atlantic.

Cannatelli Builders builds on that water, working across the isles as a luxury waterfront home builder and general contractor, with more than one hundred years of combined experience behind it and a design-build structure that holds architecture, engineering, permitting, and construction under one roof. Owners deal with one team from the first survey to the day they move in.

How a Waterfront Build Comes Together

The work starts at the seawall. Cannatelli Builders evaluates its condition and its capacity before a line is drawn, because the wall decides how close the residence can sit to the water and what the marine budget will be. Dock length, lift capacity, pile placement, and the vessel an owner intends to keep get settled in the same conversation, and they shape the rear elevation from the beginning.

Elevation is the other early decision. Canal parcels carry a required finished floor that usually sits above the slab of the house being replaced, and a residence designed around that height gains water views a ground level home never has. Cannatelli Builders sets the number in pre-construction and designs to it, so the elevation arrives as an advantage.

After that, the site does the talking. A point lot carries water on two sides and the wind to match. An interior canal parcel faces a neighbor's dock across sixty feet of water and needs a different answer for glass and privacy. Cannatelli Builders composes each residence against the specific parcel, and against the boat that will sit behind it.
